Using BMP this is definitely possible. All you would have is a finder method
which looks something like this:

public String ejbFindByFirstName(Person p) {

    PreparedStatement pstmt = myDBConnection.prepareStatement("select emp_id
from employee where firstname = ?");
    pstmt.setString(1, p.getFirstName());
    ResultSet res = pstmt.executeQuery();

    // parse the results

    return strEmpId;
}

Not sure how this would work under CMP.

Hope it helps,
Ijonas.
