Iterate over the List , which is actually just one catalog entry, to retrieve the Catalog
entity instance:
for (Iterator iter = catalogEntry.iterator(); iter.hasNext(); ) {
entityInstance = (Catalog)iter.next();
}
The find() method returns the Catalog entity instance retrieved. The session bean
class CatalogSessionEJBBean is listed next:
