The good performance of the applications that contain enterprise beans mainly depends on the proper design of the application. Therefore, it is important to consider carefully the development aspects of enterprise beans. For more information about enterprise beans use in applications, see Developing Enterprise Beans in the Development Manual.

You can find guidelines for achieving good performance by creating read-only entity beans, choosing the right locking strategy, optimizing the finder methods, and configuring enterprise bean instance pools in Optimizations and Performance Tuning in the Development Manual. You can also consider using session timeouts for stateless and stateful session beans. For more information, see Stateful Session Beans' Timeouts.
