Santhosh,
State is stored in the bean as attributes.

Transactions are present if you put those settings in the deployment descriptor.

State will be stored in the instance variable of the bean class and as a single bean is associated with a client till the time client removes.So the state variables are only for that clients use only.

Yes Transaction attributes are involved in session beans , in fact transaction attribute is there for all beans.Entity , session and MDB.

Also, since the client owns the bean you better release the resource when you are done, unlike a stateless bean
