Ara, Local interfaces & relationships are a pretty flexible approach. And they can be a (relatively) lightweight technique of accessing data. Performance is an importance factor, but not the only one when building complex applications. Just as important (or more so!) are other metrics such as modularity, extensibility, maintainability.
Value Objects are not a workaround. They've been around (known by different names) since the days of distributed computing. It is possible to build high performant distributed systems using low level techniques (raw JDBC, or low level native code, sockets etc), but such systems are typically brittle & difficult to maintain & extend. The approach with J2EE is to raise the level of abstraction used; so as to hide that complexity. (Again, its not sweeping complexity under the carpet - but rather abstracting that complexity from the developer). But I've digressed here. The issue at hand is not whether EJB 2.0 CMP is usable, but rather a discussion (debate ;) of the recommended techniques & trade offs when accessing them. -krish > -----Original Message----- > From: Ara Abrahamian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, May 31, 2002 2:31 PM > To: 'Krishnan Subramanian'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Retrieving data from entity beans > > > You're quite right.
