i'm developping a similar application (java GUI and EJB3 server) and i'm struggling with the same problem..
My Customer object has lot of nested objects (Address, SaleCondition, etc) and right now i just grabbed the whole object in one fetch when returning query results, which i can't keep doing as it's extremely inefficient. I like your idea of specifying a loadLevel (or maybe a load ENUM), very much. But my questions is, suppose you have fetched 'half' of your Customer object and the client needs some more data (suppose you have fetched the Address lazily). How do you merge the new data with the existing object on the client; Or should i fetch the whole object again? I also agree with martin that you don't need store levels as it is handled by the cascade option, i see no need for client to persist half entities.. Also are either of you using any good books about EJB3, and specifically with EJB3 with regular java clients? greetings!
