Use the generated static methods in the MBO classes to retrieve MBO instances.
- To find all instances of an MBO, invoke the static findAll method contained in that MBO. For example, an MBO named Customer contains a method such as public static com.sybase.collections.GenericList<SUP101.Customer> findAll().
- To find a particular instance of an MBO using the primary key, invoke MBO.findByPrimaryKey(...). For example, if a Customer has the primary key "id" as int, the Customer MBO would contain the public static Customer findByPrimaryKey(int id) method, which performs the equivalent of Select x.* from Customer x where x.id = :id.
If the return type is a list, additional methods are generated for you to further process the result, for example, to use paging. For example, consider this method, which returns a list of MBOs containing the specified city name: com.sybase.collections.GenericList<SUP101.Customer> findByCity(String city, int skip, int take);. The skip parameter specifies the number of rows to skip, and the take parameter specifies the maximum number of rows to return.
