Your method calling this query page should actually be:
public WOComponent queryBillboarAction() {
return D2W.factory().pageForConfigurationNamed("QueryBillboard", session());
}
pageConfiguration = "QueryBillboard" => entity = "Grid"
[com.webobjects.directtoweb.EntityAssignment],
task is in the configurationName
