Question about configuration elements

[balteo]

Hello,
I am going through the jboss documentation and I don't understand the difference between :
cache-policy-conf/max-capacity and :
container-pool-conf/MaximumSize
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance,
Julien Martin.

I don't have the exact definition for the other type of beans at the moment: -

The cache settings are used for beans that have an identity such as Stateful session beans.

The pool settings are used for beans that currently don't have an identity such as stateless session beans and message driven beans.

Entity beans are a little bit more complicated as they have a cache of beans with identity and a pool of beans without identity but I haven't looked at the specifics for this recently.
