A home method is a business method that is not specific to one bean instance. For example, a HotelRooms entity bean might have a getViewCount home method that returns the number of rooms with a view. A home method is invoked on the bean's (local or remote) home interface.
To Add a Home Method
Remember that the method name in the bean must have the ejbHome prefix. For instance, the method getViewCount defined in the bean's (local or remote) home interface must be implemented in the entity bean as ejbHomeGetViewCount.
