Well, local interfaces in EJB2.x do increase the performance of the communication so that we can use fine grained entity beans without worrying about network traffic. But if your j2ee app is designed for the distributed environment, local interfaces wouldn't help much. So I think in such case, composite entity will still be needed. Just my two cents
Hi Bill, if I understand you correctly, the session facades should talk to the Composite Entity remotely and the CE should talk to "its" Entity Beans locally (for distributed environments)? Is it correct, that with this ansatz in a clustered environment a session facade bean will talk with an CE bean on another server? Would that be practical? Thanx Roger

I can't beleive you just said that. Now I need to calm down with this tiny ad:
