How do you mean "implicitly"? Weblogic's EJB implementation provides
a caching/locking infrastructure for beans, exactly for the purpose
of not having to go back to the db again if we can help it. There
is nothing you as a bean programmer need to do except set bounds
on the cache in the deployment descriptor.
