Hi all,

To illustrate the question, lets work with a 'News' Entity bean which contains info 
related to a single News Article (ie. Headline, Author, etc).  This can be modelled 
very simply with CMP as the data is all in one table.

However, if each News Article can have a number of related News Articles, I'm not sure 
how best to implement it.  Obviously, we'll need another table to store the 
relationships.  Options I can think of are:

   1) Create a new Entity called 'News_Relationship' which stores data on a single 
mapping.  Then use CMR to model the one-to-many relationship - but there could be 
thousands of these tiny beans (maybe this is a good thing!)

   2) Use BMP - simply have a second 'select' statement in my ejbLoad method that 
popluates an array containing the relationships.  But you'd loose all the benefits of 
CMP which seems wrong to me.

Any body have any comments or other options?

Thanks,

Jason
