getRelated vs. findByAnd

[Justin Dagostino]

Is there any difference between issuing a getRelated call on a GenericValue
object vs. using the delegator's findByAnd method?


virtualProduct.getRelated("ProductPrice", whereClause, null, true);

VS.

delegator.findByAnd("ProductPrice", whereClause, null, true);


Thanks.

Hi,
    The difference is,

1.  findByAnd() :  finds Generic Entity records with given specific fields
of the named entity(ProductPrice) and returns a list of GenericValues that
match the query

2. getRelated() : returns a list of related entity instance according to
the specifed relation name (here its ProductPrice).

Thank you for your reply.

How about any difference in terms of performance or what's happening behind
the scenes?
