Hi All, I have a J2EE 1.3 based application that uses entity beans extensively together with web services (axis) and struts for the web front end, all in Jboss 3.
Part of the application allows users to search using various different criteria which spans several entity beans, such as a username, the users company name etc. I can implement the search using EJB-QL as part of the bean finder methods and traverse / navigate to related beans or as Id prefer todo, implement a stateless session bean with a DAO specifically for searching. Since the search goes across several entities its hard to say exactly which bean the search methods should be attributed too. This would allow me concentrate the bulk of my search methods in one place, avoid having to use ejb-ql with i am not readily familiar with and use "LIKE" statements (part of J2EE 1.4 but not 1.3 I think). Is this stateless bean + search dao a much used pattern ? does using it make sense or should I stick to finder methods ? Any feedback much appreciated..
