hi
i'm another one that's still learning...some things i want to comment:

the Peers Howto talks about this, you could add convenience methods like
findAll, findByName, etc.

this is perfect for business logic. e.g. override some set* methods to
prevent certain values.

no, what do you mean exactly?
for 1:n or m:n relationships the generated Base* classes already provide
convenience methods.
