Distinguishing passivation from EJB passivation
Distinguishing Pega Platform passivation from EJB passivation
Passivation in the Pega Platform is similar in purpose and results to Java EE EJB bean passivation, but Pega Platform passivation does not require Enterprise Archive (EAR file) deployments or use a Java EE passivation interface.
Note:
Pega Platform passivation can occur on any platform, including Tomcat.
