Why is the ejbstore() called when i invoke any getter method of my bean ?

Question

Hi All,
I have designed one enterprise bean with three attributes title , type and date.
and i have implemented getter and setter method for these member variables.
When i call any one of getter methods,
the output at server as follows :
getTittle();
ejbStore();
getType();
ejbStore();
I want to know why the ejbStore() is called as soon as i called any one of getter methods.
I heard ejbLoad() and ejbStore() are invoked by container based on transaction attribute.
I even set "Never" as transaction attribute . Still i got a same type of output.
Could you explain me why it happens ?
Thanks in advance,

Hi magesh ,
Hi
ejbStore is called if any of the three is true:
. A tx completes and the bean participated in the Tx
and atleast one business method was called. Note that
getters are also business methods.
2. A Finder method is called within the tx, which
causes ejbStore() to be called by the container
(before the finder executes)
3. The method is marked using
"flush-et-end-of-method" attribute in
sun-ejb-jar.xml.
I understood the concepts explained here.

I am surprised that TX_NENVER causes ejbStore(). Can
you send us the ejb-jar.xml and sun-ejb-jar.xml?The thing which confuse me is why ejbStore() is called for Transction attribute
"Never".
My ejb-jar.xml file is as follows:
<!DOCTYPE ejb-jar PUBLIC
     "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Enterprise JavaBeans 2.0//EN"
     "http://java.sun.com/dtd/ejb-jar_2_0.dtd">
<ejb-jar>

</resource-ref>
</entity>
</enterprise-beans>
<assembly-descriptor>

<method>

<method-name>*</method-name>
</method>
<trans-attribute>Never</trans-attribute>
</container-transaction>
</assembly-descriptor>
</ejb-jar>
BarronsBean has three member variables " id , title , type " and gettter and setter methods for these variables.
I use JBoss App Server to run EJB.
I feel information i have given here may be enough to you to explain me why ejbStore() is called after any one of the getter / setter method is invoked.
