Problem with custom finders

[Nafanya]

I have a small problem.

I create own finder with simple name �findForMe�. I can`t create this finder using Roo Shell, for some reason. I update stroke @RooEntity(finders = { " findForMe�}) in entity class Myclass.Java; and add own finder in finder_class Myclass_Roo_finder.aj. After that, when running �perform package� Finder disappears from Myclass_Roo_finder.aj. What I am doing wrong?

P.S. Sorry for my bad English.

Truly yours, Nafanya.

When I have to make a custom finder, I follow these steps:

1.- Create a finder with the Roo command.

Something like findMyEntityByValueEquals. With that a _Roo_Finder aspectJ is created, and the @RooJpaActiveRecord annotation modified with the appropriate finders atribute (for instance finders = { "findMyEntityByValueEquals" })

2.- I copy the finder method to the Java Entity and then I modify it (including the signature, of course)

So try to remove findForMe from the annotation (because you're telling Roo to manage this finder, so Roo tries to create/delete or whatever it considers appropriate)

@RooJpaActiveRecord(...)
public class MyEntity {

    public static TypedQuery<MyEntity> findForMe(String me) {
        if (me== null || me.length() == 0) throw new IllegalArgumentException("The meargument is required for finding MyEntities");
        EntityManager em = MyEntity.entityManager();
//Or whatever custom JPA-QL query  (not plain SQL query)
        TypedQuery<MyEntity> q = em.createQuery("SELECT o FROM MyEntity AS o WHERE o.me = :me", MyEntity.class);
        q.setParameter("me", me);
        return q;
    }


}

3.- Add tests to the MyEntityIntegrationTest

don't add your custom code the aspects files because they managed by roo.
