Suppose you had a widget CMP entity bean, with a handedness field, and
wanted to get all the left handed widgets. You'd use a finder method,
findByHandedness("left"), to return a collection of left handed widgets.
Orion makes this easy; just define it and go. See
http://www.orionsupport.com/ for details (
http://www.orionsupport.com/articles/ejbfinderquery.html ). More
complicated finders ("left handed widgets sold on Mondays") takes a little
more effort, also described on Orionsupport.
BTW, Orionsupport is a private effort, not an official site. The
maintainer occasionally uses the server hardware for other purposes, so if
it doesn't respond wait a while and try again later.
