Re: why not unsetSessionContext()?

unsetSessionContext() for Session Bean.
unsetEntityContext() is used to remove the bean 'instance'. In session beans
ejbRemove() does the same job, whereas ejbRemove() in entity beans removes
the entity it represents from the persistant storage being used. For a
better explanation, I would suggest that you read the chapters that explain
the lifecycles of Entity and Session beans in the EJB book by Monson-Haefel.
