Static Serialization - Java

Statics are implicitly transient, so you don't need to declare them as such.
Serialization is for serializing instances, not classes. Static fields (methods are irrelevant since they are part of the class definition so they aren't serialized) will be reinitialized to whatever value they are set to when the class is loaded.
If you have a mutable static field, then the changes made to that value will be lost.

EJB - Stateful vs Stateless

For  stateless session beans  the server can maintain a variable amount of instances in a pool. Each time a client requests such a stateless bean (e.g. through a method) a random instance is chosen to serve that request. That means if the client does two subsequent requests it is possible that two different instances of the stateless bean serve the requests. In fact there is no conversational state between the two requests. Also if the client disappears, the stateless bean does not get destroyed and can serve the next request from another client. On the other hand a  stateful session bean  is closely connected to the client. Each instance is created and bounded to a single client and serves only requests from that particular client. So happens that if you do two subsequent requests on a stateful bean, your request will be served always from the same instance of the bean. That means you can maintain a conversational state between the requests. At the end of the li...
