Each invokation of the entity bean is another connection to the
database, a JNDI lookup and a few othe things. If you only
want the data for read only purposes this is a massive over
kill. I use entity beans only when I know the data needs to be
updated, if it is only for display then the overhead of an entity bean
is not really required.
