I think the spec is confusing in this area...
A. The paragraph just above the one marked with XXX reads:
"This specification requires that the ejbRemove, ejbActivate, and
ejbPassivate methods of the SessionBean interface, and the ejbCreate
method of a stateless session bean be treated as PreDestroy,
PostActivate, PrePassivate and PostConstruct life cycle callback
interceptor methods, respectively.
