Session beans would only be for a single session - ie. one user. I would
rather take the hit once and store the data in the entity. The next time a
user asks for the same data it retrieved from its cache. I don't want to
keep going back to the database repeatedly for data that is not changing
frequently.
Hope that clarifies things some.
