From spring perspective stateless beans: beans that are singleton and are initialized only once. The only state they have is a shared state. These beans are created while the ApplicationContext is being initialized.
The SAME bean instance will be returned/injected during the lifetime of this ApplocationContext. Stateful beans: beans that can carry state (instance variables). These are created EVERY time an object is required (like using the "new" operator in java).
These are not EJB statfull/stateless session beans.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
