An application is said to be stateful if there is storage of some data resulting from a call that is used in a subsequent call.

如果一次调用会导致存储某些数据用于后续调用，则称这样的应用程序是有状态的。

Although some of the above questions seem to clearly lean to one technology over the other, many stateful scenarios actually call for the use of both servlets and EJB components.

尽管上述一些问题似乎明显地倾向于其中一种技术，但是许多有状态方案实际上既需要使用 servlet 又需要使用 EJB 组件。

youdao

If the requirements call for stateful processing, you can rule out the ESB as your choice.

如果需求是进行有状态的处理，则在选择时可以排除esb。

youdao

Each node in the flow is aware of the state or context of the session and has agreed or committed to the cause, so to speak, and thus we call it a stateful system.
