I have a couple of questions on the EJB implementation in Orion. Any answers would be much appreciated. * Is there a way to specify how many instances of an entity bean to cache? This would avoid the need to constantly go back to the backend db and create new instances of an entity bean. * The EJB 1.1 spec says that all parameter and return values to EJB methods should be passed by value even if the EJB and it's client are executing in the same VM. This results in many unnecessary marshall and unmarshall calls for parameters and return values. Are there any plans to provide a way to override the behavior specified in the spec? Weblogic 5.0 provides a flag that can be specified for a bean at deployment time to pass values by reference when the client is executing in the same VM.
