@PreDestory callback behavior for Stateless beans

[asack]

Is there any way to cause a @PreDestory callback to be executed programmactically? I thought if I undeploy the jar file in which EJB3 Stateless beans are defined, any @PreDestroy callbacks defined would be called. That doesn't seem to be the case and it maybe my misunderstanding of an EJB3 lifecycle. (4.03SP1/EJB3-RC5)

From the JBoss doc, it claims that the @PreDestory callback is called when a bean is destoryed or removed from the pool. I thought obviously undeployment would do this but if not, what can cause this or is this callback strictly container controlled?

Thanks!

by default, beans are pooled in a threadlocal and never destroyed.

Bill, no offense, but that doesn't seem very spec compliant to me. It makes the @PreDestory callback meaningless right or am I misunderstanding you?

Thanks!
