/**
* <p><b>Purpose</b>:
* This policy defines the configuration options for a Query By Example query.
*
* <p><b>Description</b>:
* A Query By Example query is an <code>ObjectLevelReadQuery</code> where the
* selection criteria is built from an example domain object passed in via <code>setExampleObject</code>.
* <p>
* If no policy is specified the selection criteria is built from the example
* object in the following way:
* <ul>
* <li>Attributes of the example object set to <code>null</code> are ignored.
*
* <li>Attributes set to the default value for their primitive type (such as
* <code>0</code> for <code>int</code>) are ignored.
*
* <li>Unmapped attributes are ignored.
*
* <li>A domain object is returned by the query only if its values for all the
* included attributes equal those set in the example object.
* </ul><p>
* A policy can be set on the query to:
* <ul>
* <li>Always consider an attribute even if set to <code>null</code>
* or the default value for its type.  See {@link #alwaysIncludeAttribute alwaysIncludeAttribute}.
*
* <li>Ignore attributes set to some other special value.  See
* {@link #excludeValue(Object) excludeValue}.
*
* <li>Match a <code>null</code> attribute on the example object with domain objects that have
* either <code>null</code> for that attribute also, or have set a meaningful (<code>notNull</code>) value
* for that attribute.  See {@link #setShouldUseEqualityForNulls}.
*
* <li>Use specialized operations when comparing attributes set in the example object
* with those set in the domain objects.  Matching attributes can be those with
* values greater than, less than, like, or not equal to that set in the example
* object.  See {@link #addSpecialOperation}.
* </ul>
* <p>
* Note: When setting an attribute on the example object which is itself a java
* object with an ObjectReferenceMapping, the mapped components of that
* attribute will be considered, not the entire object.  There is no limit to
* how many mapped objects can be nested inside the example object.
* <p>
* Note: <code>setExampleObject</code> is different from <code>setSelectionObject</code> in
* <code>ReadObjectQuery</code> which reads a single object by first extracting
* the primary key from the selection object.
* <p>
* <b>Restrictions</b>:
* <ul>
* <li>Only attributes whose mappings are DirectToField or ObjectReference
* (OneToOne) are considered in a Query By Example.
* </ul>
* <p>
* <b>Example</b>:
* <PRE><BLOCKQUOTE>
* // This example uses like for Strings and the salary must be greater
* // than zero.
* ReadAllQuery query = new ReadAllQuery();
* Employee employee = new Employee();
* employee.setFirstName("B%");
* employee.setLastName("S%");
* employee.setSalary(0);
* query.setExampleObject(employee);
* QueryByExamplePolicy policy = new QueryByExamplePolicy();
* policy.addSpecialOperation(String.class, "like");
* policy.addSpecialOperation(Integer.class, "greaterThan");
* policy.alwaysIncludeAttribute(Employee.class, "salary");
* query.setQueryByExamplePolicy(policy);
* Vector results = (Vector) session.executeQuery(query);
* </PRE></BLOCKQUOTE>
