Hi An ejbSelect() method is a query method just like finder method but it can be used internally only.
A situation you want to use ejbSelect() method, for example, is when you have a home method called ejbHomeGetTotalBankValue() which add up to totals of all bank account values in the bank table. In this case the container should generate JDBC for you in ejbSelect() method then you call this method from ejbHomeGetTotalBankValue() method. public abstract double ejbSelectAllAccountBalances() throws FinderException; public double ejbHomeGetTotalBankValue() throws Exception { // Get a collection of bank account balances Collection c = this.ejbSelectAllAccountBalance(); // Loop through collection and return sum } In this case ejbSelect() method return container-managed field, which is collection of double value Regards, Tinnapat ----- Original Message ----- From: "xgao" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2002 5:15 PM Subject: What is the difference between ejb find method and select method in cmp2 > Hi all > > I am playing with the cmp2 and find cmp2 give us 2 solutions for EJB QL. one > is findByXXX , the other is EjbSelectXXX.
