EAServer 4.1 adds support for ejbSelect methods and queries defined in EJB query language (EJB-QL), as required by the EJB 2.0 specification. ejbSelect methods allow you to run queries internal to your implementation. In your implementation, these methods must be declared private and abstract, and EAServer provides the runtime implementation. EJB-QL is the new standard language to define the database queries required to run finder methods and ejbSelect methods. At runtime, EAServer translates EJB-QL to SQL that is appropriate for the database type used by the component.

Chapter 27, “Creating Entity Components,” in the EAServer Programmer’s Guide describes how to configure container managed persistence for EJB entity beans.
