EJB CMP feature is fantasy. But it's use less because I cant do a simple joint on it, 
so I wonder the benifit of CMP is just a dream. for example I have two EJB , Company 
and Product, a Product can use Company as it CMP field , but if I want a finder method 
search the Product by the Company name, that's impossible.
So why not define a CMP finder syntax can do a simple joint ? for example

public Collection findByCompanyName(String value) throws RemoteException, 
FinderException;
public static final String findByCompanyName_query = "$company.name LIKE $1";
 
this will generate a SQL call that joint tables of Product and Company. ex
"SELECT * from Product , Company where Company.id = Product.company and Company.name 
LIKE ? "

I think this will make CMP more useful.
