Hello,
I am new to EJB 2.0.
Can anybody tell me whether I have to write the implementation of the abstract entity bean for database persistance or whether the deployment descriptor takes care of it.

With CMP in EJB2.0 you'll only have to define the fields in your entity bean through the deployment descriptor. In your entity bean class you only got your getter/setter methods and no fields. These fields are defined through the methods and are called virtual fields.
Hence your methods are all abstract in the bean class, the container will override them, providing all necessary actions to you. This is also called implicit middleware...
But I would suggest, that you read a good book on EJBs like EJB Design Patterns: Advanced Patterns, Processes, and Idioms by Floyd Marinescu
Have fun,
Ralf

There are also several free EJB guides and tutorials.
(Some are listed in my signature below)
There are quite a few out there.

Thank you. I'll add your comment to the growing list of comments about the tutorial.
