View links / Associations best practices

Question

Hello,
I have a little question on how to use view links and associations in an optimal way.
The situation is the following:
I have 2 tables: one master and one detail, I have therefore the following default classes:
Entities: MasterImpl, DetailImpl,
Views: MasterViewImpl, MasterViewRowImpl,
View Rows: DetailViewImpl, DetailViewRowImpl,
Association: FkMasterHasDetailAssoc
View Link: FkMasterHasDetailLink
I also hav an application module which I can use as a container faor all these.
I need to process a series of rows from the Master view. Of course the process includes screening the corresponding detail rows.
I'd like to know which one of the following solutions will give the best results in terms of performance, or maybe there is no difference:
1/ Write a process() method in the MasterViewRowImpl view Row class, which uses the view link to retrieve the corresponding detail View rows. Then loop through the MasterView, calling process() on each row.
2/ Write a process() method in the MasterImpl Entity class, which uses the Association's RowIterator to retrieve the corresponding detail entities. Then loop through the MasterView, calling process() on each row's underlying entity.
3/ Include both views, linked by the view link, in the application module and implement a AppMod.process() method which loops through the MasterView and the DetailView.
Which one will make best use of the resources, or execute the smallest number of queries? Or maybe there will be no difference at all?
Thanks in advance for any answer

Oops, before I forget: I'm using JDev3.1 / 8.1.6, both on NT and I'm developping, with BC4J, an application meant to run as a series of EJB, deployed either in JServer or OAS/iAS.

KeepItSimple,Stupid!
That is, just because there are neat things like drop-down
text, marquees, and such, doesn't mean you should use them.
Stick to the basic HTML fonts and colors (use the
w3schools web site for all
things HTML and CSS.
Instead of styles, create your lists by selecting Normal
paragraphs and formatting with the Bullet and Number toolbar
buttons.
Keep your tables as simple as possible (try not to nest them
and have all sorts of row and column spans, and try to avoid lists
and figures, if you can). Also, break up very long tables into
functional groupings with introductory headings.
Use

Good luck,
