Hi, I'm deploying a local entity bean. I know that I can run any finder method with CMP 2.x by declaring it as abtract in the bean implementation class and then by defining the query in the deployment descriptor. My question is: how do I run the findByPrimaryKey method? Shall I write a query element in the dd? How do I execute it from the client?

Hi Marco
In case of CMP u don't need to run findByPrimarykey method it will be invoked by the Application Server. You have to write the Query element in the Deployment Descriptor as well as the fields the container will manage for this method the parameters(ex. primaryKey field)to this method and the Paramter type etc will all be defined in the Deployment Descriptor.
To call findByPrimaryKey method from the clien just have to write this code snipet:-
[Your Bean Home class object].findByPrimarykey([your field parameter]);

Hope this helps
