transient?

How do you say that fields should not be persistent in entity beans?

I have fields in my entity beans that should not be persisted and they are marked as transient, but they are still written to the db. Is there a way to mark fields as "not persistent".

What type of entity beans? BMP, CMP 1, CMP 2 or even EJB 3.0 entities?

So even though the interface Serializable is implemented and the keyword transient is used, fields of entity beans will be persisted if thay do not contain the @Transient annotaiton...
