I have been getting errors similar to this after several minutes of session inactivity. "Assigning instance of class $Proxy10 to field [the handle field I mention next]; nested exception is: java.rmi.NoSuchObjectException: ..." The problem appears in the SessionBean of a JSP/SessionBean/CMPBean design. The JSP creates the SessionBean through a <jsp:useBean... "session"> statement. The SessionBean obtains a CMPBean that it will use at various times during the session. So it stores it in an instance variable (private) as a Handle using the cmp.getHandle() method. Later, on a subsequent method call, the session bean, needing the cmp bean, sends the handle a getEJBObect() message. That is when the error occurs. I suspect my design of hanging on to the CMP handle is the problem. Should I store the finder parameters instead, and retrieve the cmp object each time rather than holding onto the handle? Or is this some kind of passivate/activate issue. I am using j-boss2.2 / tomcat3.2.1 / apache 1.3.?. _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user
