/**
* Represents a page of results.
*
* The benefit of using PagedList over just using the normal Query with
* {@link Query#setFirstRow(int)} and {@link Query#setMaxRows(int)} is that it additionally wraps
* functionality that can call {@link Query#findFutureRowCount()} to determine total row count,
* total page count etc.
*
*
* Internally this works using {@link Query#setFirstRow(int)} and {@link Query#setMaxRows(int)} on
* the query. This translates into SQL that uses limit offset, rownum or row_number function to
* limit the result set.
*
*
*
* Example: typical use including total row count
* {@code
*
* // We want to find the first 50 new orders
* // ... so we don't really need setFirstRow(0)
*
* PagedList pagedList
* = ebeanServer.find(Order.class)
* .where().eq("status", Order.Status.NEW)
* .order().asc("id")
* .setFirstRow(0)
* .setMaxRows(50)
* .findPagedList();
*
* // Optional: initiate the loading of the total
* // row count in a background thread
* pagedList.loadRowCount();
*
* // fetch and return the list in the foreground thread
* List orders = pagedList.getList();
*
* // get the total row count (from the future)
* int totalRowCount = pagedList.getTotalRowCount();
*
* }
*
* Example: typical use including total row count
* {@code
*
* // We want to find the first 100 new orders
* // ... 0 means first page
* // ... page size is 100
*
* PagedList pagedList
* = ebeanServer.find(Order.class)
* .where().eq("status", Order.Status.NEW)
* .order().asc("id")
* .findPagedList(0, 100);
*
* // Optional: initiate the loading of the total
* // row count in a background thread
* pagedList.loadRowCount();
*
* // fetch and return the list in the foreground thread
* List orders = pagedList.getList();
*
* // get the total row count (from the future)
* int totalRowCount = pagedList.getTotalRowCount();
*
* }
*
* Example: No total row count required
* {@code
*
* // If you are not getting the 'first page' often
* // you do not bother getting the total row count again
* // so instead just get the page list of data
*
* // fetch and return the list in the foreground thread
* List orders = pagedList.getList();
*
* }
*
* @param
* the entity bean type
*
* @see Query#findPagedList(int, int)
