on you finder use a read-ahead strategy on-find or on-load + a load-group that contains only the field you need to load.
with latest xdoclet : * @jboss.query * signature="java.util.Collection findSomething()" * strategy="on-load" * page-size="10" * eager-load-group="lightweight" * * @jboss.load-group * name="lightweight" * plus on each cmp field that needs to be loaded you tag : * @jboss.load-group * name="lightweight" this configuration will load entities by bunch of 10. julien PB> Hi, PB> My application frequently needs to grab a large number of entities from PB> the database to populate drop down lists.
