To keep the connection open during the life of a bean instance, the programming style shown in the
following example is preferred, since it avoids many connection opening and closing operations:
public class EjbCompBean implements SessionBean {
...
ConnectionFactory qcf = null;
Queue queue = null;
Connection conn = null;
public void ejbCreate() {
....
ictx = new InitialContext();
cf = (ConnectionFactory)
ictx.lookup("java:comp/env/jms/conFactSender");
queue = (Queue) ictx.lookup("queue1");
conn = cf.createConnection();
}
public void doSomethingWithJMS (...) {
...
Session session = conn.createSession(...);
... // JMS operations
session.close();
}
public void ejbRemove() {
conn.close();
}
...
}
Be aware that maintaining JMS objects in the bean state is not always possible, depending on the type
of bean.
For a stateless Session Bean, the bean state is not maintained across method calls. Therefore, the
•
JMS objects should always be initialized and defined in each method that performs JMS operations.
For an Entity Bean, an instance may be passivated, and only the persistent part of the bean state
•
is maintained. Therefore, it is recommended that the JMS objects be initialized and defined in
each method performing JMS operations. If these objects are defined in the bean state, they can be
initialized in the

For a stateful Session Bean (as shown in the previous example), JMS objects can be defined in the
•
bean state. Stateful Session Bean instances can be passivated (not in the current version of JOnAS,
but it is scheduled for the summer of 2004). Since connection factories and destinations are serial-
izable objects, they can be initialized only in ejbCreate. However, be aware that a connection must
