Hi,

i have an gerneal question. I'm going to put some NamedQueries into my EJB Project.
The descibed way of how to call a NamedQuery is

 @PersistenceContext
 public EntityManager em;
 ...
 customers = em.createNamedQuery("findAllCustomersWithName")
 .setParameter("custName", "Smith")
 .getResultList();

So, from what,, where or whatever does the container know which query from which bean should becalled?
Is it an convention to make them unique in the whole application?
I put them on top of my Bean-classes.
When the queries are application-wide, is there a way to declare them in one file for all?


Thanks for your answers
