Hello Alexander, if you want to use an EJB named Account you should have the following classes: - AccountBean (extending EJBUserBean), - Account (extending EJBUser), - AccountHome (extending EJBHome, you have to copy all the definitions from EJBUserHome modifying the return type, and optionally can add other finders). This should work with EJBUserManager. Good luck!

Hi, I want to use the EJBUserManager to lookup the accounts and created an extended version of the EJBUser because I need more infos for the account to hold. I created Account which extends the EJBUser and an AccountHome which extends EJBUserHome so I'm not able to overwrite the findByPrimaryKey Method to return Account insteat of EJBUserHome. When starting the orion it gives me an error that findByPrimaryKey() should return Account insteat of EJBUserHome. Can anybody help?
