Static variables in an EJB

Posted by Frank LaRosa on January 31, 2001 at 11:10 PM

Why the restriction against using static variables inside EJB classes? What about classes used by an EJB that are not the EJB class itself? I find it convenient to have statics that are initialized the first time the EJB is used, and they seem to work, so what's the problem? The docs say don't do it.
