 * <!-- begin-user-doc -->
 * A representation of the model object '<em><b>Query Method</b></em>'.
 * <!-- end-user-doc -->
 *
 * <!-- begin-model-doc -->
 * 
 * 	
 * 
 * 	  The query-method specifies the method for a finder or select
 * 	  query.
 * 
 * 	  The method-name element specifies the name of a finder or select
 * 	  method in the entity bean's implementation class.
 * 
 * 	  Each method-param must be defined for a query-method using the
 * 	  method-params element.
 * 
 * 	  It is used by the query-method element.
 * 
 * 	  Example:
 * 
 * 	  &lt;query&gt;
 * 	      &lt;description&gt;Method finds large orders&lt;/description&gt;
 * 	      &lt;query-method&gt;
 * 		  &lt;method-name&gt;findLargeOrders&lt;/method-name&gt;
 * 		  &lt;method-params&gt;&lt;/method-params&gt;
 * 	      &lt;/query-method&gt;
 * 	      &lt;ejb-ql&gt;
 * 		SELECT OBJECT(o) FROM Order o
 * 		  WHERE o.amount &amp;gt; 1000
 * 	      &lt;/ejb-ql&gt;
