Re: 'local' entity beans vs dependent objects

>>And of course, it's only in theory so far.

Actually, if I have correctly followed this thread, it is not as radical as
you may think.  IBM's VisualAge for Java 3.0 Enterprise Edition has what it
calls 'Access Beans'.  These wrap either a Session or Entity EJB inside a
serializable Java Class.  When the bean is instantiated it will lazy
initialize the EJB, encapsulating the Home lookup, narrowing, and the
finding or creation step, and providing a pass-through of the remote
interface methods into the EJB.
