Weblogic 7.1 ..

I have a question on the way Weblogic works with regard to connector and
stateful session beans.



I would appreciate any answer/s to this.



I have the connection pool size set to 10. Weblogic obtains 10 managed
connections initially. When the EJB method is invoked which invokes the
connector to perform a method call on the EIS, Weblogic invokes
ManagedConnectionFactory::matchManagedConnection and goes through the list
of 10 Managed Connections and does not find anything.



Weblogic then destroys the first ManagedConnection in the pool and allocates
a new one, say MC1. So, the connection handle instance in the EJB is linked
to ManagedConnection MC1 by a call to ManagedConnection::getConnection.



After the EJB method call is over, Weblogic calls ManagedConnection::cleanup
to return the ManagedConnection to the pool.



The next time an EJB method is called, it does not seem to call
ManagedConnectionFactory::matchManagedConnection to find the matches in the
pool.



Websphere does call ManagedConnectionFactory::matchManagedConnection and
ManagedConnection::associateConnection

to associate the ManagedConnection with the connection handle



Is Weblogic performing some optimization here ? Should it not call
ManagedConnectionFactory::matchManagedConnection and
ManagedConnection::associateConnection ?



Thanks in advance,
