I think the basic mistake that people make when considering EJB relates to
performance. EJB is, first and foremost, a transactional framework.
I'm sure I will get some flak on this one, but EJB was designed to support
server-side components with full transactional semantics in a *portable*
manner. All of these things go *against* performance.
This doesn't mean it is necessarily slow, but if I needed a very
high-performance environment, I would focus more on my design. Design can
add magnitudes of performance to a system. Intelligent caching of
information can help tons. In EJB, the container determines the caching
parameters for your component. For the most part, all beans in the container
are cached using the same parameters. Before all of the vendors deluge me,
this is a generalization (please notice the use of most and some) :-)
Just saying, that I prefer to control my own environment when transactions
are not so important and high-speed access to read-only objects are. This
sounds like your situation. Like all advice, I suggest you try it out for
yourself with a simple test and compare the results.
