Abstract

A system and method for increasing entity bean performance in an application server environment. The system reduces the need for multiple or unnecessary queries by formulating a join query for the related beans and applying this query to the database. When a request is made to a database to read or retrieve a set of EJB beans, related beans are simultaneously retrieved and stored in a cache. In this manner, when the client sends a request for any of these related beans, they can be supplied from the cache rather than making another call to the database.
