Folks, Sorry, attached mail should have read "not every (reasonably dynamic) persistent entity should be modelled by an entity EJB"
i.e. drop the "bean". When do persistent database entities warrant an entity EJB? Thanks - Adam -----Original Message----- From: Adam Lipscombe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 16 October 2001 23:50 To: A mailing list for Java(tm) 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; An interest list for Sun Java Center J2EE Pattern Catalog Subject: Architecture: When to use Entity Beans to model persistent objects? Folks, I am interested in the frequently voiced opinion that not every (reasonably dynamic) persistent entity bean should be modelled by an entity EJB. I am designing a J2EE server consisting of client facing session beans, action and modelfactory (valueobject factory) classes interfacing onto persistent entity EJB's. Are there any rules of thumb as to when one should use an entity EJB to model a persistent object? Any opinions?
