stateless session bean

[jacob deiter]

My company uses a Process Driven framework ,An Stateless Session is used in the framework,

My question here is

How the stateless session bean handle many user since it does not have track of each user's session?

Jacob,
The stateless session bean gets all the data it needs passed in. The data is likely stored in an HttpSession.

Sort of, they maintain information between server calls. Think of it as a service that you start and maintain communication with throughout many customer interactions. It's not necessarily a bad thing, most people just have found they'd rather perform the same function with HttpSessions and stateless session beans since it makes the code more usable in the end.
