Hallo, should the .ser files in \db\sessions been deleted when the bean is activated or removed? The beans are stored as attributes of HTTPSession. When this servlet session is timed out the beans are removed. The System.out from jBoss looks like [DataInterface] StatefulSessionBean.ejbCreate() called on eacm.ejb.inf.CorrelationInf .... [Container factory] StatefulSessionBean.ejbPassivate() called on eacm.ejb.inf.CorrelationInf .... (after HTTPSession timeout) [DataInterface] StatefulSessionBean.setSessionContext() called. [DataInterface] StatefulSessionBean.ejbActivate() called on eacm.ejb.inf.CorrelationInf [DataInterface] StatefulSessionBean.ejbRemove() called on eacm.ejb.inf.CorrelationInf but the serialized session is still in the file system.
