as far as i understood from the spec, there is no way to get all persons having birthday on june if i have the birthday as a date object.
the solution i am targeting to is to create a second field, called birthday2, where i store the day and month as a integer, something like: month*100 + day.
i would update this field on every ejbstore and change my finders to search for values between 600 and 699 ;-)))
any suggestion on how to solve this problem in a more elegant way?
