Pass-by-reference semantics

EAServer supports the proprietary EJB pass-by-reference mechanism supported by most other J2EE vendors. To enable pass-by-reference for EJB component, set the ejb.copyValues Ant property in the EJB module user-configuration file to false. For details, see “Commonly configured properties” in Chapter 2, “Deploying and Configuring EJB Components,” in the Enterprise JavaBeans User’s Guide.

When this setting is enabled, EJB stubs and skeletons for the component and its home and remote interfaces use the same parameter passing mode that EAServer normally uses for EJB 2.0 local interfaces. After changing the value, you must recompile the EJB module.
