persistence question

[Saha Kumar]

Hello,

I have the following questions:

Are we tied to EJB 1.1 for SCEA ?

In order to persist a customer order, my model requires inserting into several tables. For this reason, I am choosing to use a DAO to update all tables without using EJB entity beans. Even if EJB 2.0 is allowed, I feel the performance could be slow with so many entity beans (i.e. each of the several tables will be an entity bean, and this is per customer order).

Is this a correct assumption?

Thanks for any help.
