Howdy,
The top half of page 348 in HFE says ...sees that this metod needs a transaction, so the container starts one then pulls a bean from the pool, AND CALLS EJBACTIVATE...

Is this true? Is there a meaningful transaction context in ejbActivate()?

One more thing...HFE refers to a performance and patterns chapter..I don't have one in my book, does anybody?

hello,
Container starts a transaction if needed but when ejbActivate is called bean is not associated with any client or with an EJB entity so does that matter if it is under transaction? So ejbActicate can't participate in the transaction.

I'm stil preparing so dont know if my explation is clear or correct.

business method getAddress executes in transaction context,so container starts transaction.

ejbActivate executes with unspecified transaction context.
