How to retrieve information from entity beans?

Hi all!
I have a problem while trying to get information from entity beans. Here it goes:
There are two entity beans with 1:N relationship between them.
A FacadeSB is used to find a single record in one entity bean, using the findbyPrimaryKey method.
What is required now is to get information from the other entity bean matching the record found from the first entity bean.
to become more clear, the db schema is like that:
vehicle_table
vehicleid (vehicle_pkey)
name (type of vehicle i.e. car, bike, atv, etc)
brand_table
brandid (brand_pkey)
name (brand name e.g. ferrari)
vehicleid (foreign key to vehicle_table)
a FacadeSB gets the vehicle_table info and passes them to a servlet generated dropdown.
what is the best way to populate a brand dropdown based on the vehicle dropdown selection?
thanx in advance
I hope the problem definition is clear enough for you guys...

thanx for the reply
i'm ok with the finder methods you suggested. my main concern in whether to create another FacadeSB to access the brand EJB. I don't believe that's the way to go on i.e. creating a session bean for every EJB created. Shall i use the VehicleFacadeSB to access brand EJB as well?
I can undestand that such an implementation would be a quick fix as well as not such a resources hungry hack but on the other hand, would it make any sense architecturally?
any suggestions?

  • How to retrieve information from server?

    Hi,
    I'm currently working on a project, which is implemented with JSP. The function of the JSP is to connect to different servers within the Intranet(IP address already known) and get database list & file list residing on each server. And then compose all those information into a table, and display them in JSP. I just wonder how can I connect to those server? Can I just set up a socket client? Once the connection between servers has been setup, how can I retreive information from server? Are there any reference I can use? Thank you very much for your considerations.
    Myra

    Actually, I need extract some information from the file, and those files are on the server. In this case, do you think I should use FTP client to visit server? The server is running with Weblogic.

  • How to retrieve information from iCloud (earlier than the 3 most recent backups) ?

    I had to restore my iPod 4th generation to factory settings and I'm trying to get all the information back from iCloud backup. The thing is that I had waited about a week or two(instead of right away) to try to put the information back into the iPod. And when I restored it again(for the second time) it only had the choice of retrieving informaiton from the 3 most recent iCloud backups but those were too recent for the information I wanted to get back. Is there any way, ANY WAY AT ALL that I can get access to earlier iCloud backups? Like maybe all the iCloud backups that have happened so far?
    I've done some research and it doesn't say there is a way but there doesn't seem to be a lot of people with this problem. :(  Please if you know a way, let me know.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately, you cannot go back further than the three backups that you already have.

  • How to retrieve information from a database View name

    For a given database View name, is there any way to retrieve what are the columns (also the corresponding table name) associated with that View?
    I am getting the view names by using DatabaseMetaData APIs.
    Now I want to retrieve the info associated with that view.
    Any help will be highly appreciated.

    If all else fails then since you have the view name then "select * from viewname where 1=0" should work.

  • How to retrieve info from a MacOs Standard floppy?

    How can I retrieve information from a MacOs Standard formatted floppy disk on Snow Lion?
    I have this collection of old floppy disks that were formatted as MacOs Standard format back in the days. They do hold some files which I'd like to backup on a backup drive.
    But, Snow Lion does not read MacOs Standard formatted disks apparently.
    So, does anyone know how to retrieve information from MacOs Standard formatted floppy disks?
    Thank you!

    This what I see in ML with my old SmartDisk VST (model# FDUSB-M) floppy drive:
    Interesting observations:
    1. I was able to add and remove files to the disk.
    2. I was not able to erase the disk with Disk Utility. It returned an error.
    3. Disk Utility did not offer the HFS+ format option, only FAT32 and ExFAT.
    4. I could only find 1 floppy in my house so it could be partially defective.

    Thanks in advance...

    you should change to request.getParameter("itemType").
    or just System.out.print the itemType to see it got the value.
    Hope it helps.

  • How to retrieve data from a dimension that is not directly joined to a fact

    Hi,
    In my case I have 2 dimensions and one fact. I need to runa report collecting data from all the three tables.
    I need to do the following.
    DIMA DIMB FACT1
    FACT1 is joined with DIMA
    DIMA is joined with DIMB
    FACT1 is not Joined with DIMB.
    My report should still retrieve information from DIMB by connecting FACT1 with DIMA and retrieve corresponding data from DIMB.
    Please suggest how can I do this .
    I am using 10.1.3 version of OBIEE
    You help will be much appreciated.

    Hi,
    I think your data model is snow-flake schema,we can get the data from snow-flake schema also.Pull the columns from both fact and DIMB into criteria.It will display the result.

    Hi Vinodaggarwal87,
    According to your description, you want to retrieve data from sharepoint list in a sub folder. Right?
    In this scenario, we should select the XML data source type and in the connection string provide the
    List.asmx service URL when creating data source. Then we need to use the List web Service and specify "recursive" for ViewAttribute in Lists.asmx. For detail steps, please refer to the links below:
