I reported what I thought was a CMP performance problem a few days ago. Many of you responded with helpful ideas. Thanks!
In the process I have learned quite a bit, mostly how to use CMP *more* properly. This newbie still has more to learn. I thought I'd pass along what I found out. First, if you are a newbie and having problems (like I was) understanding the *costs* of using CMP, as an exercise, convert a CMP entity bean to BMP. I now understand more of what goes on when using CMP. To solve my performance problem, I started using a stateless session bean doing a database query directly. All I was trying to do was take a snapshot of the contents of a single table and present it in a browser using JSP. Managing persistency was overkill. In doing this, I changed a process from 2500 milliseconds to 2. That's 1000 times faster. All because I didn't really believe that session beans really can be efficient. I also used the ValueObject approach as James Hicks had suggested. That also help quite a bit. Thanks to all who helped. _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user
