hi all
I noticed by hibernate reference that it's impossible getting pojo by example when in the example is specified just the id.
I implemented this (does not work of course by id):

public Collection findByExample(Object example) throws PersistenceException {
log.info("findByExample...");
Collection collection;
try {

Criteria crit = HibernateSessionFactory.getSession()
.createCriteria(mappedClass);
collection = crit.add(Example.create(example).enableLike(MatchMode.EXACT)).list();

} catch (HibernateException ex) {
throw new PersistenceException(ex);
}
return collection;
}

I need a function that does the find by example also when in the example is specified just the id!
