Thanks tdanecito. To clarify:
1. The bean is being invoked via RMI. 2. If the test case is ran several times, there still isn't much difference in overhead. 3. As far as I know, there is a call from a Stuts Action class to a thread, the thread then invokes the EJB, the EJB then makes the call to the business bean. As for the performance issue due to going through all the layers, I appreciate there will be a greater overhead, but I am taking performance timings for just the class itself - not how long it takes to get to it. So layers or not, it still takes longer for the classs to execute while inside the container.
