Harm, There is a design pattern called "facade" where you have session beans that access the CMP entity beans, a lot like you are describing. The entity beans can have local interfaces, but your session beans would have remote interfaces too. XDoclet will generate the facade session beans, which look a lot like manager beans to me. You can write some of your own facade session beans that have custom business logic for displaying the data that you need. These beans will also utilize the CMP beans. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by:Crypto Challenge is now open!
