What i mean is your NewsBean methods could look like this:

    public Vector getList() {
        return NewsContentDefinition.getSortedList(null);
    }

/** Returns all news items specific to channel*/    
    public Vector getList(int channel) {
        return NewsContentDefinition.getNewsList(new Integer(channel),
-1);
    }

/** Returns a NewsItem specific to its id */
    public NewsContentDefinition getNews(int newsID) {
        try {
            return new NewsContentDefinition(null, new Integer(newsID));
        } catch (CmsException e) {return null;}
    }

The NewsContentDefinition can be used as a JavaBean and you don't have
to deal with the database stuff because it is already implemented there.
