You can read some of the design patterns on the sun site. I can send you the link if you are interested. We have not used EJB Entity beans , except for the sequence number generator. We have used Dao's , value objects and the Session facade and our project is near completion. Bottom line though is how complex is your database model. Regards, Sriram
