Hi! We've done some testing with EntityBeans and Orion 0.8.1. Conclusion: * Orion uses one instance for all finder invocations. * Does it allow concurrent finder invocations on this instance? (bad) * Does it synchronize finder invocations on this instance? (bad) * Orion does not reuse instances after they have been used * This holds for instances which have been ejbRemoved. Is the same occuring with passivated instances? (i.e. is there a pool at all?) Problem: Our setEntityContext operation is VERY costly, thus we would like Orion to try and reuse instances as much as possible. Any hints/thoughts on this? /Rickard -- Rickard Öberg @home: +46 13 177937 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage: http://www-und.ida.liu.se/~ricob684
