Is there any provision in the EJB spec. for allowing the developer of a container managed entity bean to state that particular methods do not require syncing EVERY mapped field with the database? I have a case where I'm display ten fields from such an EJB in a GUI. I find the EJB and then invoke ten get methods to get the data to display. This results in ten complete syncs with the database. I'd like to be able to sync just once and then get the values OR have each get method only incur a sync of the field it is returning. I know that a potential solution would be to write one method that returns a non-EJB object containing all the values. That approach isn't very attractive. -- __ __ / \/ \ Object Computing, Inc. \ / ark (314)589-1617 pager \ / (314)955-8123 A.G.Edwards \ / olkmann (314)579-0066 OCI \/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff EJB-INTEREST".
