You can also use the virtual entity service by directly instantiating the coldbox.system.orm.hibernate.VirtualEntityService, configuring it and using it:
import coldbox.system.orm.hibernate.*userService = new VirtualEntityService(entityName="User");userService = new VirtualEntityService(entityName="User",useQueryCaching=true);usersFound = userService.count();user = userService.new({firstName="Luis",lastName="Majano",Awesome=true});userService.save( user );user = userService.get("123");var users = userService.newCriteria() .like("lastName","%maj%") .isTrue("isActive") .list(sortOrder="lastName");
