Hi, You're doing a BMP bean, so you work with jdbc already, why don't you just define a method count() on the bean and call "SELECT COUNT * FROM blabla" on the datasource....
In my opinion you don't have to use only findBYXXX methods...

How do i do a sql "count"? one way to do work around i guess is to do a sql "select" as per normal , return collection. and do a collection .size. but this seems redundant. i just wan a figure. instead i'm selecting a collection of beans.... help thanks john _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user
