Use a session bean that returns a "value" object by collecting up all the
getters from the entity bean. It could also be the return value from one of
the entity beans methods.
Richard Monson calls these "Bulk Accessors" and the idea is documented on
his web site.
<vendor>
BMP entity bean generated by Cocobase generate get/set bulk accessor methods
on entity beans by default.
