Dhiren,
I got the same question a while ago.
My understanding is that the answer would be yes. A sfsb can hold on to
a POJO, another SFSB and a (hanlde to an) enity bean and I think even a reference to a SLSB.
Only for the SLSB you never are certain that the same instance of the SLSB is used for each call to it!

A very basic example is here:

If I have a list of itineraries for a customer where else do I store it if I am reading or holding on to itineraries as a list which is rettrievable ?
Thats where the need for the entity referencce arose.

Thanks

Dhiren,
Did you agree with my description about the references?

With respect to the cart holding references to Itineraries?
Isn't the ininerary the 'thing' that you get when you 'checkout' the items in your shoppingcart? Or is it your intend to hold on to
Itineraries that are already persisted to db?

Yeah agree with ref to cart holding to itineraries that is what I am trying to do though slightly different I want to hold on to a list of ref of Entity beans.

Holding on to itineraries already persisting is also what I intend at the time I will load them up and for browsing list of customer itineraries thats where I need ref to a list of entity bean is it accepatable from a design prespective I dont know. ?
Thanks

OK, I understand.
I am also considerering not holding on to the complete list but only the one that you need for the particular action (pay, change..).
