How are database JOINS achieved with EJBs?

[Steven Punte]

Dear EJB Community:

    Entity java beans pretty much represent a row of data
    in a database table.

    If one has:

    Table X                        Table Y
    --------------                   --------------
    A  B  C  D                    D  E  F  G

    One commonly executes a SQL command like:

        select A from X join Y on X.D=Y.D where Y.G ="Bill Clinton"

    How would one do the equivalent task in an elegant
    "Enterprise Java Bean" like manner?   That is, other
    than simply writing some member function that performs
    a JDBC select command like above.
