Sorry but I'm completely new to Beans, do you know any good tutorial,
or some explanation on what they are and what they are used for?

What I'd like to do is have a system where I get a Base Object on the
Persister from which I may access all the other objects by using the
references in the Base Object. The tricky part of this is that I want
the method calls to be executed on the Persister rather than the
webfrontend.

To explain this a bit better I'll use an example:
Lets say the Base Object in the Persister has a Collection of Accounts.
Now I want to create a new account, so the first thing I do is get the
reference to the Base Object and then from there I get a reference to
the Collection of User Accounts, I then check if the account exists and
if not I add it.
The details are pretty difficult to see but its important that on the
webfront I have onyl references to the object in the persister and no
copies, or otherwise my changes to them will be lost (in other words
not saved in the persister)...

I'm playing around a bit with RMI which looks nice to me but it has
some limitations, since if I access a reference I get a new copy which
is executed client side (on the webfront) instead of serverside (on the
persister).

Any ideas on how to get that to work???

Thanks,
Snyke
