What is a Stateful Session Bean?- Between the client and the session bean, the state of the conversation can be maintained using a stateful session bean.
- The instance variables contain a state only during the invocation by a client method.
- It implements ‘javax.ejb.SessionBean’ interface and is deployed with the declarative attribute ‘stateful’.
- They have instance fields that can be initialized and modified by the client with each method invocation.
- The bean can use the conversational states as its business process methods.
