read-ahead and optimization

[kanth_seenu]

4.0.1sp1 version of jboss.

In order to optimize the execessive queries fired to database by getter methods, I tried using the read-ahead tag. I have given the details about my configuration

* @jboss.load-group
* name="modules"
* description="module fields used in query"
 * @jboss.read-ahead strategy = "on-find"
 * page-size = "200"
 * eager-load-group="modules"

 * @ejb.finder
 * signature="java.util.Collection findByTaskId(java.lang.Long taskid)"
 * query="SELECT DISTINCT OBJECT(o) FROM Task o WHERE o.taskid = ?1"
 * description=""
 * @jboss.query
 * description="This generates jboss-ql and overwrites the original query "
 * signature="java.util.Collection findByTaskId(java.lang.Long taskid)"
 * query="SELECT DISTINCT OBJECT(o) FROM Task o WHERE o.taskid = ?1"
 * eager-load-group="modules"
 * strategy="on-find"
 * page-size="200"

Add added @jboss.load-group name="modules" to my getter methods

but still I don't see any cache/optimization happening with my sql queries, issue persists

I have also removed the readonly attribute that I had set to the getter methods.

How to use the read-ahead attribute?

On further reading I understood that the finder method and the getter must be a part of the same transaction. Better approach would be to use the @ejb.value-object, and use the getData() method from the localobject, and ignore read-aheads
