Howdy,
A couple of weeks ago I was watching the thread about wrapping entity
beans with session beans but I had a couple more questions. I am very new
to EJB so I 'll try to explain my perdicament as best as I can. Say I have a
collection of People objects that I need to be abale to sort and query by
state for an example. I came up with the following modeling scenarios but
can't seem to decide which path to take.
1 - Use BMP for the PersonBean and implement several finder methods,
findPersonById( String id )
findPersonById( String id, String sortBy )
findPersonByState( String State, String sortBy )
This method seems straight forward but requires a lot more coding(JDBC) and
wouldn't take advantage of CMP caching
2 - CMP PersonBean with a SessionBean that wraps it. The SessionBean would
perform all of the necessary quering and sorting.
3 - CollectionBeans - Have a PersonCollection that was an entity bean and
perform all of the sorting/quering on the client.
This seems like ti would increase the amount of remote method calls.
I seem to be missing some fundamental concepts and any suggestions or advice
would be appreciated.
Thanks
Rick
