Hi All, Considering the performance of entity bean, I intend to implement a component with session bean accompanying with a data access object. Session bean encapsulates the business logics, whereas data access object encapsulates the operations with DBMS. Are there any additional configurations for this approach to employ the pooled connections in EJB Container? Or more common question, Can EJB only utilize the resouces managed by EJB Container? Thanks in advance, Wenhui =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff EJB-INTEREST".
