Hi

I hope i'm in the correct sub-furum

I have a problem with Stateful that do not keep data between methods calls;

@Stateful
public class ShoppingCart implements ShoppingCartLocal {

     private List<CartItem> cartItems;

     public List<CartItem> getCartItems() {
          return cartItems;
     }

     @PostConstruct
     public void initialize() {
          System.out.println("<--Construct-->");
          cartItems = new ArrayList<CartItem>();
     }

     @PreDestroy
     public void clear() {
          System.out.println("<--Destroy-->");
          cartItems = null;
     }

}

the method initialize() is executed on each call !

I'm using JBoss 5.1, and the Stateful is injected in a Managed Bean

public class ProductBusinessDelegate {
     @EJB
     ProductBusinessLocal productBusiness;
     @EJB
     ShoppingCartLocal shoppingCart;

     public List<CartItem> getCartItems(){
          return shoppingCart.getCartItems();
     }

     public ProductBusinessDelegate() {
     }
     
}

Thanks
