Hi Christian,
You might consider using the OpenJPAEntityManager.findAll method. The
expected advantage is that any objects in the datacache won't cause a
hit to the database. If there is a high likelihood that all objects are
in the datacache, then this is definitely the way to go. If some
objects will very likely not be in the cache, then you might want to
investigate. I'm not sure whether it will generate one SQL statement
for all missing objects or one for each. You might want to turn on SQL
logging to check,
((OpenJPAEntityManager) em).findAll(...)
Hope this helps,
David
