Getting entities by PK

When using Active Objects, getting entities given their primary keys is very simple. Of course we will be using the EntityManager. The actual method is net.java.ao.EntityManager#get(Class<T>, K...):

1
2
public Post getPost(int postId)
{
    return entityManager.get(Post.class, postId);
}

Note that the get method take a vararg argument so it is possible to get several entities at once by passing several primary keys to the method. It will then return an array of entities.
