Unable to passivate due to ctx lock warning on JBoss 4.0.2

[=?ISO-8859-2?Q?Horv=E1th_Andr=E1s?=]

Hi all!

I have a strange problem, I can't solve. I have a J2EE application using
EJBs. Sometimes (it's non determinal ), when I use an entity bean
from a session bean (I call a getter method on it) I get an error:

2005-09-12 06:05:00,011 WARN [org.jboss.tm.TransactionImpl] Transaction

After this the program works fine, but there is a warning in every five
minute after the error:

2005-09-12 03:55:33,925 WARN
[org.jboss.ejb.plugins.AbstractInstanceCache] Unable to passivate due to
ctx lock, id=944

It's strange to me, because when I use the "local" EJB, it's in the
memory already. So what's the problem with simply calling a getter
method on it? This problem only occours at this point of code, but it
doesn't differ from other entity-bean handlings.

// ...
Collection events = getKDSZEventLocalHome().findBy( begin, end, new
Long(type) );
Iterator it = events.iterator();
while ( it.hasNext() ) {
eventLocal = (KDSZEventLocal)it.next();
if ( eventLocal.getBegin() == 0 && ( eventLocal.getPlBegin() >= end
|| eventLocal.getPlEnd() < begin) ) continue;
// ...
