Let me try to take a shot at this with my limited knowledge.
I see you are talking about the EJBHome of Entity beans and not Session
beans.
It is possible with BMP since you do your own hacking.
With CMP, I really doubt it.
I would love to hear from the "GURUS" though.

Subject: Adding methods to the EJB home interface.
Hi. I've been trying to track down whether EJB supports a certain
expressiveness or not, but so far have been unable to find the answer.
Does anyone know if it's possible to add new class-level methods to the EJB
Home Interface for a specifiec EJB type?
I understand you can add instance-level (Remote interface) methods, but how
can you add class-level (Home interface) methods? (like static methods)
I'd like to add a new method to the Home Interface which returns another
Type. I understand you can overload the Find and Create methods, but I'd
like to add a totally new method. I'd like to call this method even before
I have a instance of the type. That makes it difficult to put it in the
Remote interface.
For example, I'd like to do this:
public interface PHome extends EJBHome
{
public P create( ... ) throws ...;
public P findByPrimaryKey( PPK pk ) throws ...;
public Enumeration findByName( ... ) throws ...;
// new method-- can you do this?
public Q getARelatedType( ) throws ...;
}
Thanks
