Abstract
A C*-algebra A is C*-reflexive if any countably generated
Hilbert C*-module M over A is C*-reflexive, i.e., the
second dual module M'' coincides with M. We show that a
commutative C*-algebra A is C*-reflexive if and only if
for any sequence Ik of mutually orthogonal nonzero C*-subalgebras, the
canonical inclusion ⊕k Ik⊂ A doesn't extend to an
inclusion of ∏k Ik.
