I'd like to use a submit button without any form data, but rather with
my own data. I was thinking something along these lines:
<form action="../servlet/ConfirmRasterServlet" method="post">
<button type="submit" value="Confirm Raster">Confirm Raster</button>

If I have a long lasting transaction in Stateless SessionBean during
which I load an CMP EJB bean, how long is that EJB bean locked? From
it's ejbLoad untill the total end of the transaction, even if I only
call it's getters?

I created a Email Template. Using
