Conversation & Stateless session

hello all,
can a stateless session bean data be part of a conversation?

I am thinking about a StatelessShoppingCart which will keep internally track of all items added tothe cart

is that possible, or does it have to be Stateful?

regards
marco

Of course it can. Just don't try and keep state in it :-)

hi,
thanks./

so that means that i cannot implement a ShoppingCart using a Stateless session bean...... correct?
because iw anted to do like the dvd example.. when the user and an item, the item is added to the cart and shown on the page.

I suppose Stateless SB cannot be used for that purpose then (because they are state...less) ..

am i understanding it correctly

Yes.

If you want to keep state in the bean, it is stateful, by definition.
