  2. Differentiate between Stateless and Stateful Sesson Bean[ Go to top ]

    The simple answer:

    1) Stateless Session Beans can't have instance variables. They are more efficient, because they can be pooled and reused by different clients.

    2) Stateful Session Beans can have instance variables, whose values are maintained on behalf of a particular client. They are more powerful, but less efficient, because a State Session Bean object is specific to a particular client and cannot be pooled and reused.
