EJB1.1 Finder Queries Property Editor

See Also

You open this property editor from the EJB1.1 Finder Queries tab in the Entity Bean pane of the sun-ejb-jar.xml visual editor.

The Sun Java System Application Server uses an extension of Java Data Objects Query Language (JDOQL) queries to implement finder and selector methods.

The Finder/Select Queries dialog enables you to provide the JDO Query Language (QL) for Container-Managed Persistence Query Methods. JDO-QL enables the Bean Provider to specify the semantics of query methods in a portable way.

In the property box you can specify the following elements of the query:

Finder methods allow the results of an JDO QL query to be used by the clients of the entity bean. Finder methods are defined in the home interface(s) of an entity bean and return entity objects or local entity objects.

For more on query syntax and examples, see "Configuring Queries for 1.1 Finders" in the Sun Java System Application Server Developer's Guide.
