Re: finder methods

hi ravi kumar
      finder methods are used to get rows from the
table with respect to some other constraint other than
primary key

     say for ex,
    if u have an employee table with emp_id,emp_name
and emp_status, and if u want to get the results based
on the emp_status,

   then u could write the finder method as

    public Enumeration findByStatus(String emp_status)
throws RemoteException;

tell me if u r not clear
