In [[Java Platform, Enterprise Edition]] (JEE), the '''Conversational state''' are the field values of a [[session bean]] plus the transitive closure of the objects reachable from the bean's fields. The transitive closure of a bean is defined in terms of the serialization protocol for the Java programming language, that is, the fields that would be stored by serializing the bean instance.
