We're mixing up session beans and entity beans (because they're all JavaBeans to us). We're accessing properties on complex controller beans with lots of injections (dependencies to other beans), instead of using simple entity objects. This is triggering long chains of injections repeated multiple times, which is slowing down our app. I will now redesign our beans. Thanx for your time and good support!
