- EJB Query Language. It is a sql-based language that will allow the new persistence schema to implement and execute finder methods.
- Local interfaces. These are beans that can be used locally, that means by the same Java Virtual Machines, so they do not requires to be wrapped like remote beans, and arguments between those interfaces are passed directly.
- ejbHome methods. Entity beans can declare ejbHome methods that perform operations related to the EJB component but that are not specific to a bean instance.
