Consider a cmp bean that has in it a date and a unique transaction id. Now let's say you have the need to find all beans between two dates, 1/1/01 through 1/1/03. Let's then say someone else comes along and wants to find all beans between two other dates, 1/1/02 through 1/1/03. What will the container do? Is it smart enough to know the set is already in memory? If so, if someone then asks for 1/1/00 through 1/1/03, what does it do? Get all again? Just get 1/1/00 through 12/31/00?
