refactor maybe

[BJ Freeman <bj...@free-man.net>]

I found a method I believe should be in the Entity component.
in OrderLookupServices.java
is there an equivalent out there under a different method name?

    protected static EntityExpr makeExpr(String fieldName, String value) {
        return makeExpr(fieldName, value, false);
    }

    protected static EntityExpr makeExpr(String fieldName, String value,
boolean forceLike) {
        EntityComparisonOperator op = forceLike ? EntityOperator.LIKE :
EntityOperator.EQUALS;

        if (value.startsWith("*")) {
            op = EntityOperator.LIKE;
            value = "%" + value.substring(1);
        }
        else if (value.startsWith("%")) {
            op = EntityOperator.LIKE;
        }

        if (value.endsWith("*")) {
            op = EntityOperator.LIKE;
            value = value.substring(0, value.length() - 1) + "%";
        }
        else if (value.endsWith("%")) {
            op = EntityOperator.LIKE;
        }

        if (forceLike) {
            if (!value.startsWith("%")) {
                value = "%" + value;
            }
            if (!value.endsWith("%")) {
                value = value + "%";
            }
        }

        return new EntityExpr(fieldName, op, value);
    }
