I've encountered a problem with jboss 3.0.7, but according to CVS
the same would be in latest release. I've got BMP entity bean, standard
configuration. Two clients access the same instance of bean without
transaction. I saw in logs the following:
client1: EntitySynchronizationInterceptor.invoke, ctx.isValid == false
client1: ejbLoad started
client1: ejbLoad finished, ctx.isValid == false
client2: EntitySynchronizationInterceptor.invoke, ctx.isValid == false
client2: ejbLoad started
client1: ctx.isValid == true
client1: business method
Here my business method fail, because ejbLoad in another thread is
modifiyng bean's internal state. I thought that container should
serialize calls to the same instance of bean, but I'm not sure that
this is the only one possible interpretation of spec. As for me, I'd put call
to ejbLoad in EntitySynchronizationInterceptor.invoke into
synchronized(ctx) block. In fact, I already tried to do so and everything works fine
