Hi all, (running 0.9.4) Is it normal behaivour for the EJB container (eg Orion) to pass every call to findByPrimaryKey through to an EJB's ejbFindByPrimaryKey method ?? If the EJB has already been 'found' and is resident in the active pool then why does the container need to pass this call through? Wouldn't it be able to use its own lookup table to detect that the EJB is already loaded and running, and just pass a reference back to the client? As each call to ejbFindByPrimaryKey requires a database hit I'd like to trim down unneccessary calls. (I am also still finding that ejbStore is called following every method call to my entity ejbs). Thanks very much, Dave Elliot Web Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
