# Redirect Finders

Previous

Next

Redirect finders enable you to implement a finder that is defined on an arbitrary helper class as a static method. When you invoke the finder, TopLink redirects the call to the specified static method.

Redirect queries are complex and require an extra helper method to define the query. However, because they support complex logic, they are often the best choice when you need to implement logic unrelated to the bean on which the redirect method is called.
