Example

A typical XDoclet comment might look like this: <source lang="java">

/****
 * This is the Account entity bean. It is an example of how to use the
 * EJBDoclet tags.
 *
 * @see Customer
 *
 * @ejb.bean
 *     name="bank/Account"
 *     type="CMP"
 *     jndi-name="ejb/bank/Account"
 *     local-jndi-name="ejb/bank/LocalAccount"
 *     primkey-field="id"
 *     schema = "Customers"
 *
 * @ejb.finder
 *     signature="java.util.Collection findAll()"
 *     unchecked="true"
 *
 * @ejb.finder signature="java.util.Collection findByName(java.lang.String name)" 
 *             unchecked="true"
 *             query= "SELECT OBJECT(o) FROM Customers AS o WHERE o.name
 *             LIKE ?1"
 *
 * @ejb.transaction
