Session Object Persistence
Session objects, by definition, are not persistent. They may, however, contain information that needs to be made persistent. As with bean-managed entity objects, session objects can implement persistence operations directly in the methods in the enterprise bean. Session objects also often maintain a cache of database information that must be synchronized with the database when transactions are started, committed, or aborted. The enterprise bean developer must implement persistence operations (e.g., JDBC, JDO, or SQLJ) directly in the session bean class methods. See:
