Chris, you didnt get my point, what I am talking about is the advantage of using Entiy beans over SP, when we talk about EJB we usually mention "Transactions" ,"security" and "Disributed preocessing".
"transactions" : can be achieved in SP with the same simplicity as container managed transactions ...so it is not a big advantage
"security" : J2EE only offers class based security which is not suitable for most enterprise applications
"distributed proccessing" : looks like the main advantage of using entity beans over stored procedure , but you can alos wrap the stored procedure in a Session bean and you get it.
The OO programmer inside me likes the EJBs but how can you convince a customer to pay for such "time consuming" & "exprience requiring= money" EJBs??
