The Life Cycle of a Stateful Session Bean

Figure 14–3 illustrates the stages that a session bean passes through during its lifetime. The client initiates
the life cycle by obtaining a reference to a stateful session bean. The container performs any dependency
injection and then invokes the method annotated with @PostConstruct, if any. The bean is now ready to
have its business methods invoked by the client.

Figure 14–3 Life Cycle of a Stateful Session Bean

While in the ready stage, the EJB container may decide to deactivate, or passivate, the bean by moving it
from memory to secondary storage. (Typically, the EJB container uses a least-recently-used algorithm to
select a bean for passivation.) The EJB container invokes the method annotated @PrePassivate, if any,
immediately before passivating it. If a client invokes a business method on the bean while it is in the
passive stage, the EJB container activates the bean, calls the method annotated @PostActivate, if any, and
then moves it to the ready stage.

At the end of the life cycle, the client invokes a method annotated @Remove, and the EJB container calls the
method annotated @PreDestroy, if any. The bean’s instance is then ready for garbage collection.

Your code controls the invocation of only one lifecycle method: the method annotated @Remove. All other
methods in Figure 14–3 are invoked by the EJB container. See Chapter 28, Resource Connections for
more information.
