SystemException from Stateless Session Bean

[Jisha Anand]

Hi!

I just read throwing SystemException causes the container to discard the bean instance. For a stateful session bean the discarded bean can never be used again. But what about stateless session beans? The container discards stateless session beans also right? In that case is the bean removed from the pool too or does it return to the pool so that another client might invoke the same bean?

Pardon if my doubt is stupid; I am bit confused going through Exception part

Thanks in advance!

For SLSB, it is not guaranteed that the same bean instance will be reused or not.

Devaka,

You mean its not guaranteed that the discarded SLSB will be returned to the pool or the bean will be removed from the pool?

Thanks a lot!
