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? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4016243#...
