EJB/JPA: Is it called JPQL or EJBQL?

Question

Is the JPA query language called JPQL or EJBQL? I keep reading about them here and there, JPQL seems to appear slightly more often, but frameworks like JBoss Seam use EJBQL everywhere, so which one is the one?

Answer 1

EJBQL is the obsolete query language that was included with the EJB 2.1 spec.

JPQL is the new query language that is used with JPA and supercedes EJBQL. JPQL supports all the old EJBQL language, including many deprecated parts.
