To be more specific:
In the home interface you should declare all the fonder methods to throw
FinderException. But when a method which returns a non-collection raises
an exception it will be ObjectNotFoundException (which is a subclass of
FinderException). However, if a finder method which returns a collection
don't find any matching objects an empty collection is returned. The
method signature must still declare the FinderException in home
interface which seems to be a bit illogical?
