An EJB 2.x entity bean instance is created with the create() method in the entity
bean home/local home interface. A client for an EJB 2.x entity bean obtains a
reference for the entity bean with JNDI lookup; CatalogLocalHome is the JNDI
name of the CatalogBean entity bean:

InitialContext ctx=new InitialContext();
Object objref=ctx.lookup("CatalogLocalHome");
CatalogLocalHome catalogLocalHome=(CatalogLocalHome)objref;
//Create an instance of Entity bean
CatalogLocal catalogLocal=(CatalogLocal)catalogLocalHome.
create(catalogId);

To access the getter/setter methods of an entity bean, the remote/local object in EJB
2.x is obtained with the finder methods:

CatalogLocal catalogLocal =
(CatalogLocal) catalogLocalHome.findByPrimaryKey(catalogId);

An entity bean instance is removed with the remove() method:

catalogLocal.remove();
