Hi
I am doing the old SCEA exam, and I have bypassed the session facade which is stateful for searches. When searching for flights, a stateless session bean is used so that the system can scale. I am using a fast lane reader to return a potentially large data set. My problem is that now I want to use a value list handler to cache the search results, I realise that the search thing might actually have to be stateful.
How can I take advantage of stateless session bean/DAO (fast lane reader) as well as implementing a value list handler? If I don't make it stateful, I am going to have to store the value list somewhere, and this seems to negate the benefit of bypassing my stateful facade.
This is quite confusing to me!
