EJB container - does it able to read ahead?

[Михайлов Кирилл Германович]

Hi,

 

A question which is bothering me last time is: does EJB container able to read-ahead the collection of entities just have returned to the client? It will be great if it's implemented in whatever J2EE compliant AS!

For example if client calls finder method and iterates the collection of entities:

  Iterator i = ejb.findByWhatver(...).iterator();

  while (i.hasNext()) { ... }

then EJB container iterate this collection also to cache entities and make this 'while' faster.

Does it implemented anywhere?
