Use EJB query

 

The EJB query language is used to specify a query over container-managed entity beans. The language is similar to structured query language (SQL). An EJB query is independent of the bean's mapping to a persistent store.

 

Overview

An EJB query can be used in three situations:

Finder and select queries are specified in the bean's deployment descriptor using the <ejb-ql> tag; they are compiled into SQL during deployment. Dynamic queries are included within the application code itself.

WebSphere Application Server's EJB query language is compliant with the EJB QL defined in Sun's EJB 2.1 specification and has additional capabilities as listed in the topic Comparison of EJB 2.x specification and WebSphere Query Language.
