This allows the container to implement CMP as a BMP entity, by subclassing
the bean implementation:
class MyEntityBeanImpl extends MyEntityBean {
public MyPK ejbCreate(...) {
super.ejbCreate(...);
conn = getConnection();
// ...
stmt.executeUpdate("insert into my_table values ( .... ) ...");
//...
return new MyPK(...); // BMP mandated return
}
}
