EJB more doubt

Question

madam,
I have a table say product on which I do manipulations using an entity bean called ProductBean.
This entity bean is CMP.I wanted to execute a query which is dynamic in nature for ex: it can be any one of the below
as per the users specification from the page(They may be querying the table by selecting some critereas or not)
select * from product where name like 'mango%';
select * from product where description like '%apple%';
or...
How this can be included in my existing CMP bean .What I did is just wrote one method in the session bean of the ProductBean
(I use session beans to access entity bean and entity beans access DB.So there will be 1 session bean associated with every
entity beans.).
I am a beginner and if this does'nt make any sense please tell me the right concept of DB managemnt using EJB (I mean the theoretical side)
Thanks JINOY

You would want to create an EJB Finder see

also look at the ejbql section
