Hi!

What we have:
Stateless session beans exposed as webservices on
jboss 4.0.1SP1 . We are going to deploy in a clustered
environment with high performance requirements.

The questions:
Should we use hibernate with full relational mapping
or just mapp single classes to tables without relations?

When we have full relational mapping we use lazy loading
but it feels like a lot of unnessecary work to get a whole
object just to get an ID.

Since we are going to use caching and clustering isnt
that a performance risk since the cache has to be
distributed?

Any hints, tips on performance when using webservices
and hibernate in a clustered environment...

Thanks in advance
