You'd want to take advantage of vendor-specific features, most likely. Some EJBs support an isModified() method that the container can query in order to know whether to update the DBMS. Check your docs for info on read-only beans. Beyond that you might want to tune the caching, depending on how many bean instances are going to be present.
Not all containers support read-only beans. In that case you'd need to create BMP beans with no logic in the ejbStore() method.

The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.
