Guiding principles for using stored procedures in application

Hi List,

        We want to use lot of stored procedures in the J2EE application that is being developed for any database intensive routines. While it provides high performance, its not easy to maintain and cannot be ported easily to other databases.
They are used for queries and items that will require high performance like
* Complex routines involving multiple data access and requiring very
high performance
* Functions which perform large scale operations on many rows

In this context I would like to know the guiding principles for using stored procedures in an application.

Does anybody know any URLs or documents which explains all that what I need? If so, please let me know.

Any help in this regard is very much appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,

Ranganath
