read ahead ,collection and stateful session bean

[ereze]

I have a stateful session bean that keeps a collection of objects selected by running a finder marked with on-load read ahead strategy.

Thing is, I think that the next call from my web app to the stateful session bean, trying to run through some objects in the collection the preload cache or the lists cache is gone and read ahead strategy is not working.
I guess this has to do with the fact that there are two transactions in the story involved. In the first the collection is retrieved/selected using the finder. Then the second transaction accesses the object in that collection.

Is this true that the lists cache of the collection is gone when the first tranaction is done? If so, then I think that it is wrong, since the stateful supposed to be STATEFUL.

Thanks,

The state does not include the transaction. That would kill concurrency.

You can always try using a UserConnection.

It would be nice if accessing an object in the collection caused (on-load) other forward objects in the collection to be retrieved (selected). I guess I would have to come up with some of my own code based solution.
