Self referencing in entity beans

[David Levine]

Can an entity bean contain a Collection of references to other entity beans
of the same type?

What would the deployment descriptor look like?  Especially in the
relationship area.

For example, here's a Local interface for a CMP 2.0 Entity bean:

public interface UserLocal extends EJBLocalObject {
     public String getId(); // CMP method
     public void setId(String id); // CMP method
     public String getName(); // CMP method
     public void setName(String name); // CMP method
     public Collection getFriends(); // CMP method
     public void setFriends(Collection friends); // CMP method

     public void addFriend(UserLocal friend); // business method
     public void removeFriend(UserLocal friend); // business method
}

Thanks,
David
