The EJB 2.0 spec adds home methods to entity beans.
Applications can define methods callable from the home interface.
In other words, there's no need to create or find an entity bean instance just to execute an entity method. The home methods resemble static Java methods or methods in a stateless session bean. In this example, there are no entity bean instances. All the work is done by the home interface. The home methods are implemented in the bean by adding ejbHome to the name.
