It's actually a little more complex than that. What happens is that I perform a number of calculations, which use variables stored in the database and depending on the result more information is retrieved from the database and added to the response. It's not a standard 1-n or n-n relationship, but more extracting data on the fly. One option is to store the calculation variables in a hash table stored in application scope and only change them when they have been updated. Will using something like iBatis or even Hibernate improve the situation?
