when the second argument is an id then this argument defines the boolean "unique" otherwise it defines the order.

  • unique: If unique is set to true, then the entity is returned. If you are sure that only one record exists that matches this filtercriteria, then you can specify unique=true, so that a single entity is returned instead of an array. If you set unique=true and multiple records are returned, then an exception occurs.

  • order: String used to specify the sortorder of the entities that are returned.If specified, loads and returns an array of entities that satisfy the filtercriteria sorted as specified by the sortorder.

Alias: unique, order

The following options to customize the output (only used when second argument is "id"):

  • ignorecase: Ignores the case of sort order when set to true. Use only if you specify the sortorder parameter.
  • offset: Specifies the position from which to retrieve the objects.
  • maxResults: Specifies the maximum number of objects to be retrieved.
  • cacheable: Whether the result has to be cached in the secondary cache. Default is false.
