My thoughts on CMP vs BMP: On my project I went with BMP + DAO patterns + business deligates at the client tier that deligate reads to the much more efficient DAO's (direct access to the DB) and updates to transactional components (entities mediated by session beans). With CMP you don't have the higher performance choice at the client business deligate level to go directly to the DB via DAO's, all reads have to go through the transactional tier (for no good reason except to boost the stock of your appserver and hardware vendors). My personal opinion about CMP, that I'd like to hear other's experience on is that you'll spend almost as much time developing and debugging QL as you would DAO+SQL. You'll loose the much higher performance direct access to the DB for read operations. Given that most web site pages are doing read, (display of catalogue pages) use of CMP for reads through entities makes no sense unless a slow web site is desired. Any thoughts? thanks, curt
