Ahh. I had no joy with the generated class used for object list and search. This class, SApplicationsListEntityQuery is a subclass of "EntityQuery" from the seam framework. It did not work for me but I was able to get a list of data after configuring an equivalent type in "component.xml" ie <framework:entity-query name="sApplicationList" ejbql="select app from SApplication app" order="shipmentCode"> <framework:restrictions> lower(app.shipmentCode) like lower(concat(#{applicationSrch.shipmentCode},'%') ) lower(app.region) like lower(concat(#{applicationSrch.region},'%') ) lower(app.country) like lower(concat(#{applicationSrch.country},'%') ) lower(app.contactPerson) like lower(concat(#{applicationSrch.contactPerson},'%') ) lower(app.status) like lower(concat(#{applicationSrch.status},'%') ) </framework:restrictions> </framework:entity-query> View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4104880#...
