Sorry about that! I am mired in J2EE code, EJBs, servlets, and a bunch of really hairy and scary stuff! Passivate is a term used with respect to EJBs (enterprise java beans - something that is a part of J2EE). I was posting briefly while taking a break from some work that I was doing and got my vocabulary a little muddled! :-)

What an interesting post!

Passivate.......? What is the definition of this word? How is it different from passive? I clearly understand it in the context, but i'm curious for the full definition; it's not in the dictionary i have.

Thanks<
