 /**
 21  
  * represents Queries that can be used by the OJB PersistenceBroker
 22  
  * to retrieve Objects from the underlying DB.
 23  
  * Until now there are two implementations:
 24  
  * 1. QueryByCriteria, represents SELECT * FROM ... WHERE ... queries
 25  
  * 2. QueryByIdentity, uses Example objects or OIDs
 26  
  * as templates for the db lookup
 27  
  * there could additional implementations, e.g for user defined SQL
 28  
  *
 29  
  * For the Criteria API I reused code from the COBRA project,
 30  
  * as you will see by their class comments.
 31  
  *
 32  
  * I removed all stuff that relies on knowlegde of the DataDictionary
 33  
  * or MetaData layer. The Query and Criteria classes thus don't know
 34  
  * how to build SQL statements, as in the COBRA original sources.
 35  
  * I use the this classes as mere data-structures, that are
 36  
  * processed by the OJB Accesslayer (SqlGenerator, JdbcAccess).
 37  
  *
 38  
  * This design will allow to reuse the org.apache.ojb.broker.query package in other
 39  
  * projects without breaking any references. I hope this will be
 40  
  * useful for someone.
