The access intent service enables developers to precisely tune the management of application persistence.
Access intent enables developers to configure applications
so that the EJB container and its agents can make performance optimizations
for entity bean access. Entity beans and entity bean methods are configured
with access intent policies. A policy is acted upon by either the combination
of the WebSphere EJB container and Persistence Manager (for container-managed
persistence (CMP) entities) or by bean-managed persistence (BMP) entities
directly. Note that access intent policies apply to entity beans only.
