@Pete: Oh yes, sorry! I just realized that I need an EntityQuery to make the database backing work. The template then uses the entityQuery.dataModel... One more question: In our project we are working with org.hibernate.search.FullTextQuery. Is there any way to translate the FulltextQuery to an EntityQuery so that paging/sorting works database backed for the fulltextSearch-results? Thanks!
