I think you might have to find the balance inbetween keeping aggregate functions together, and separating out enough such that you don't have a "god class".
I wouldn't worry too much about "many instances of one object" vs. "many small pools of different objects". That's what the containter is there for; to abstract these resource-management issues for you. Also, might want to look into the RestEasy Framework, http://resteasy.damnhandy.com/, which aims to simply the act of exposing your EJB3 Services as Web Services, and takes care of the Domain Object > XML Transforms. Hope this helps.
