Rather than coding JDBC or SQL/J operations in your bean class, your container implicitly performs all database operations behind the scenes. With container-managed persistence, you must make some of your entity bean class’s fields public so that the container can set the fields when it performs database operations on behalf of your bean. The fields that you want to be persistent are called container-managed fields. You don’t have to worry about setting these fields—the EJB container will automatically manipulate them for you behind the scenes when it performs storage operations. One restriction of container-managed fields is that every field you want to be managed by the container must follow the rules for Java object serialization (we describe these rules in full in Appendix A). This means that primitive types such as doubles and Booleans, as well as serializable classes such as primary key classes or EJB handles to other entity beans, can be container-managed fields. For example, the following is a snippet of code from our bank account entity bean class that we wrote in Chapter 8: With container-managed persistence, the container can persist each of these fields for you behind the scenes. When saving your bean instance’s fields, the container is responsible for querying your bean instance for these field values. When loading data into your bean instance, the container sets these fields. This is possible because each of the fields is declared as public. Of course, you still must inform the container about which fields it should manipulate. You specify this in your bean’s deployment descriptor. The EJB container will inspect the deployment descriptor to figure out which of your entity bean’s fields to manipulate. Note that not all
