I think I can use Tim's suggestion (if I can find a way to assign the selector outside the ear). Something like: clientID is NULL AND feed in ('feed1', 'feed2') | OR | clientID = 'myClientID' AND feed in ('feed1', 'feed2') So is there a way for me to assign the clientID other than in the annotations of the MDB or in the embedded deployment descriptor?
