Gets the EjbCMPEntityDescriptor which defines the information for this bean.

Returns:

the EjbCMPEntityDescriptor for the bean specified in the constructor.

categorizeMethods

protected void categorizeMethods()

Reads all known methods and sorts them by name into specific Collections for further processing.

getFinders

public java.util.List getFinders()

Gets the list of finder methods for this bean.

Returns:

a list of java.lang.reflect.Method objects which represent the finders for this bean

getQueryDescriptor

protected QueryDescriptor getQueryDescriptor(java.lang.reflect.Method method)

Gets the query descriptor associated with the specified method if it exists.

Parameters:

method - the java.lang.reflect.Method object used to find the query string

Returns:

a query descriptor for the specified method. Returns null for CMP 1.1 queries.

getQueryString

public java.lang.String getQueryString(java.lang.reflect.Method method)
