Bean Managed Persistence and Object Fields

Question

I'm having trouble persisting data in the fields in my EJB. I have posted the code for my EJB below:
package com.kns.account.ejb;
import java.sql.*;
import javax.ejb.EntityBean;
import javax.ejb.EntityContext;
import javax.ejb.CreateException;
import javax.ejb.FinderException;
* @stereotype EntityBean
public class AccountBeanEJB implements EntityBean
public int id;
public String username;
public String password;
     * The container assigned reference to the entity
     private EntityContext context;
     * @return
     public AccountBeanEJB() {
     * Sets the context of the bean
     * @param ec
     public void setEntityContext(EntityContext ec) {
          context = ec;
          // to do: code goes here.
     * Clears the context of the bean
     public void unsetEntityContext() {
          this.context = null;
          // to do: code goes here.
     * This method is called when the container picks this entity object
     * and assigns it to a specific entity object. Insert code here to
     * acquire any additional resources that it needs when it is in the
     * ready state.
     public void ejbActivate() {
     * This method is called when the container diassociates the bean
     * from the entity object identity and puts the instance back into
     * the pool of available instances. Insert code to release any
     * resources that should not be held while the instance is in the
     * pool.
     public void ejbPassivate() {
     * @return
     public Integer ejbCreate(int theId, String theUsername, String thePassword)
          throws CreateException
System.out.println("Creating new account");
     String sqlstr = "Insert into Account (ACCOUNTID, USERNAME, PASSWORD)";
     sqlstr = sqlstr + " VALUES(" + theId + ", '" + theUsername + "', '" + thePassword + "')";
     Connection conn = null;
     try
     conn = getConnection();
     Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
     stmt.executeUpdate(sqlstr);
     System.out.println(sqlstr);
     this.id = theId;
     this.password = thePassword;
     this.username = theUsername;
     System.out.println("Done creating new account");
     catch(Exception e)
     e.printStackTrace();
     finally
     try
     conn.close();
     catch(Exception e)
          return new Integer(this.id);
     public void ejbPostCreate(int id, String username, String password) {
     * @return
     public Integer ejbFindByPrimaryKey(Integer key)
          throws FinderException {
          // to do: code goes here.
          this.id = key.intValue();
          return (key);
     public void changePassword(String newPassword)
     this.password = newPassword;     
     * @return
     public int createAccount(String username, String password) {
          // to do: code goes here.
          return (0);
     public void ejbRemove()
     String sqlstr = "Delete * from Account Where ACCOUNTID = " + this.id;
     Connection conn = null;
     try
     conn = getConnection();
     Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
     stmt.executeUpdate(sqlstr);
     catch(Exception e)
     e.printStackTrace();
     finally
     try
     conn.close();
     catch(Exception e)
     public void ejbLoad()
     System.out.println("In ejbLoad");
     String sqlstr = "Select * from Account Where ACCOUNTID = " + this.id;
     System.out.println(sqlstr);
     Connection conn = null;
     try
     conn = getConnection();     
     Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
     ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sqlstr);
     if(rs.next())
     this.password = rs.getString("Password");
     System.out.println("password = " + this.password);
     this.username = rs.getString("Username");
     System.out.println("username = " + this.username);
     catch(Exception e)
     e.printStackTrace();
     finally
     try
     conn.close();
     catch(Exception e)
     public void ejbStore()
     System.out.println("In ejbStore");
     String sqlstr = "Update Account Set Username = '" + this.username + "', Password = '" + this.password + "' Where ACCOUNTID = " + this.id;
     System.out.println(sqlstr);
     Connection conn = null;
     try
     conn = getConnection();
     Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
     stmt.executeUpdate(sqlstr);
     catch(Exception e)
     e.printStackTrace();
     finally
     try
     conn.close();
     catch(Exception e)
     public String getPassword()
     //ejbLoad();
     return this.password;
     public String getUsername()
     //ejbLoad();
     return this.username;
     private Connection getConnection() throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException
     Class.forName("weblogic.jdbc20.pool.Driver");
     return DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc20:weblogic:pool:pwxPool");
     public void removeAccount() {
It seems like id, username, and password fields are not stored between calls. Here is some sample output from my weblogic server:
Account found for id = 99
in ejbStore
Update Account set Username= 'null', Password ='null' Where accountId = 0
Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm banging my head on the desk over here. Thank you.

Answer 1

These functions always return null! Please help me!
public String getPassword()
//ejbLoad();
return this.password;
public String getUsername()
//ejbLoad();
return this.username;
