[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Problem with EntityQuery, Design Question about it

Hi, I used Seam-gen to create a CRUD Application out of my database. Works fine so far, but i now i, of course, need to customize it for my needs. I need to run a query and i think i should use the package com.ccms30.entities; import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Name; import org.jboss.seam.framework.EntityQuery; import java.util.List; import java.util.Arrays; @Name("ccmsProductlineList") | public class CcmsProductlineList extends EntityQuery { | | /** | * | */ | private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; | | private static final String[] RESTRICTIONS = { | "lower(ccmsProductline.name) like concat(lower(#{ccmsProductlineList.ccmsProductline.name}),'%')", | "lower(ccmsProductline.description) like concat(lower(#{ccmsProductlineList.ccmsProductline.description}),'%')",}; | | private CcmsProductline ccmsProductline = new CcmsProductline(); | | @Override | public String getEjbql() { | return "select ccmsProductline from CcmsProductline ccmsProductline"; | } | | @Override | public Integer getMaxResults() { | return 25; | } | | public CcmsProductline getCcmsProductline() { | return ccmsProductline; | } | | @Override | public List<String> getRestrictions() { | return Arrays.asList(RESTRICTIONS); | } | | } this Class for it. So here are my questions: - How should i run a query on an attribute? just, for example, set the name in object ccmsProductline and then run getResultList? or should i write an own class? how to design my own querys, which are nothing else than a list so far? - Why can i just use this class if I inject it into my the Bean i call it from? I cant create CcmsProductline ccmsProductline = new CcmsProductline(); and then use it... why? Would make things much more easy. Thanks a lot.
