So far I've had a little struggle to implement a Query By Example form as well.
Orion does generate finder methods for you. You can define them using the finder-method
definitions in 'orion-ejb-jar.xml'. The dificulty is in the more complex queries.
Joe Walnes and Torgier Lerkerod reacted to a question from me and gave a good
explanation how to tackle this (mid Sept).
I haven't implemented it yet. I ran into trouble with quoting the sql queries in the
finder
sp[ecification and had to focus on other stuff first, so it is on the list to
implement early
next month for me.
