Stateful Session Bean Not Activating ????

[dazbaz]

I have a stateful session bean (A) that does a lookup of another stateful session bean (B) and stores this reference in one of its stateful class variables.

When bean B has been created and both A and B beans passivate, bean A does not activate again when I call one of its methods and I get an exception thrown.

If bean A never gets created then bean B will passivate and activate with no problem.

Has anyone else seen this behaviour and is there any way of fixing it ?

Many thanks,

Darren Senel

Errata:

I meant:

If bean B never gets created then bean A will passivate and activate with no problem.

instead of:

If bean A never gets created then bean B will passivate and activate with no problem.
