Hello,

Just wondering why suddenly the use of PrepareStatement in this
book, the example before has had us use the EntityManager and the persist method - and now we are back in time.
Is there a reason for this, som pedagogy ?

Seeing also under the 'Accessing environment properties (injection)' in the same chapter the use of an xml-descriptor.
Is there another way to do this, seeing that Glassfish has this approach .

%glassfish_home%\bin\asadmin.bat create-jms-resource --host localhost --port 4848 --user admin
--restype javax.jms.Topic --property imqDestinationName=StatusMessageTopic StatusMessageTopic

Or is the xml-descriptor to prefer ?

Still new here, so I am a bit lost from time to time,
but hoping to 'master' this subject at last ( EJB 3.0 that is ).

regards, i
