I would like to limit the number of EJB object references returned by an entity's home interface's finder method(s) through the corresponding finder method(s) ejb-ql statement. This is my situation. I am developing a module that would process a user defined number of entity EJB that satisfy a specific criterion. This module is in fact an independent client application running outside the EJB container, this means that I will obtain the corresponding EJB objects from the returned EJB object references and package each into a serializable data object. This client application should process the serializable data objects in batches. Example: if the batch size specified by the user during deployment is 5, the client application will obtain the first five qualifying objects, then after processing the batch, it would obtain the next five and process the same and so on. The client application along with the resources used by it (in the EJB container) should have small memory footprint.
How can I write this size restrictive ejb-ql query. Is there any other way of achieving the same keeping in mind the size unrestricted ejb-ql query may return a large number (count) of object references.
