Hi,

I am trying to implement a CMP to learn how does it work. I created a
table on Oracle 9i with the following script -

CREATE TABLE Employee
(
EmpNo NUMBER(5, 0)
CONSTRAINT pk_empno PRIMARY KEY,
EmpName VARCHAR2(50)
);

I am using NetBeans 5.0 IDE; thru NetBeans wizard I created an entity bean
for this table; the findByPrimaryKey method takes a java.math.BigDecimal
parameter. The ejb-jar.xml snippet is -


jdbc:oracle:thin:@192.168.4.184:1521:NITIN
[NitinTest on NITINTEST]
<display-name>EmployeeEB</display-name>
<ejb-name>EmployeeBean</ejb-name>
<local-home>com.newgen.ejb.EmployeeLocalHome</local-home>
com.newgen.ejb.EmployeeLocal
<ejb-class>com.newgen.ejb.EmployeeBean</ejb-class>
<persistence-type>Container</persistence-type>
<prim-key-class>java.math.BigDecimal</prim-key-class>
false
<abstract-schema-name>Employee</abstract-schema-name>
<cmp-field>
<field-name>empno</field-name>
</cmp-field>
<cmp-field>
<field-name>empname</field-name>
</cmp-field>
<primkey-field>empno</primkey-field>

auto generated method
<query-method>
<method-name>findByEmpno</method-name>
<method-params>
<method-param>java.math.BigDecimal</method-param>
</method-params>
</query-method>
<ejb-ql>SELECT OBJECT(e) FROM Employee AS e WHERE e.empno =
?1</ejb-ql>


auto generated method
<query-method>
<method-name>findByEmpname</method-name>
<method-params>
<method-param>java.lang.String</method-param>
</method-params>
</query-method>
<ejb-ql>SELECT OBJECT(e) FROM Employee AS e WHERE e.empname
= ?1</ejb-ql>



I wrote a SessionFacade for this entity bean, which calls the
findByPrimaryKey method of the entity bean.
The problem I am facing is, even when I am passing the correct data (a
primary key for which a row exists), the entity bean is throwing a
FinderException. Any idea why this might be happening?

Thanx and Regards
