But, I believe that LDAP servers are designed to be read efficient (Write Once, Read Many principle) and depending upon your LDAP load and performance requirements this might not be a problem. I have not personally tried this, but how about lazy loading the relationship to user? This does not decrease the number of connections but definitely space the requests. I wish there was a better way to integrate LDAP and Hibernate. Deryl,

If you load 100 employees it's going to look up each employee 100 times. Is it suitable to read from an LDAP server all of the time?
