If I were to use entity beans to represent items in a catalog, and the # of items was fairly large (tens to hundreds of thousands), the Collection returned by a findBy might be huge.
I can certainly see how one would build a traditional "paging" mechanism using BMP (to get only a subset of results, and be able to step forward or backwards through the catalog). But is it possible to do using CMP? My instinct is "no", that this is a case where BMP is necessary. But I just thought I'd ask to see if anyone has thoughts to the contrary.
