EJBs are kind of a hard way to learn java ;-)... I like Richard
Monson-Haefels EJB book ok although its getting kind of old.
I prefer to do all db access from some kind of ejb for architectural
layering reasons, so your presentation (jsp) and flow control (probably a
servlet) don't get mixed up with your data model and business operations.
So I'd put the query in a (stateless) session bean.
