Re: ejbFind() method return types

[Vlada Matena]

The ejbFindLargeAccounts(..) method must convert the ResultSet into a collection of primary keys,

and return the collection as a method result. The Container converts the collection of primary keys

to a collection of object references, and returns the collection of ORs to the client.

Subject: ejbFind() method return types

On page 71 of the Spec (1.0), in section 9.7.5:

 

"The return type of a finder method must be the enterprise Bean's primary key type, or a collection of objects of the primary key type."

 

On page 72 in section 9.7.8:

 

"The return type for a finder method must be the enterprise Bean's remote interface type, or a collection thereof."

 

I don't understand the discrepancy!  Is this a typo?  Also, let's say we define an ejbFindLargeAccounts(double amount) method, in the body of which we execute the SQL query and receive a ResultSet back with a selection of rows from the database.  How then do we turn this data into a collection of Entity Bean remote interfaces, which is what section 9.7.8 requires us to return?
