In trying to learn JPA, I see this pattern of MyEntity and MyEntityDAO. I started following this but found it frustrating that since MyEntityDAO is not an @Entity, I can't put @NamedQueries in it. My @NamedQueries are in MyEntity, so why not put findMyEntity() right on MyEntity? This keeps the method and the query in the same class. The only problem I have with it is that NamedQueries can contain complex business logic which should not be mixed with storage of data.
