Can someone clarify... Andrew are you there ?
Thanks, Sudd
Am not Andrew :-).
The business methods in a CMP entity bean need not be abstract. Only the methods accessor / mutators need to be abstract.
Infact one thing that comes to my mind immidiately are the ejbHome methods that we declare on the home but implement them in the bean. They defintely are not abstract.
