[TYPO3-mvc] widget.paginate only working with repository standard methods?

[Jochen Rieger]

Hi all,

I'm currently checking the paginate widget which comes with the fluid 
trunk. A very nice tool as stated before already.

But how does it work exactly? It seems as if it would perform some kind 
of findAll() action itself in the background.

I am trying to use it on a manually composed query and it does not work 
properly.

Is the following not supported by it?

$query = $this->createQuery();
$query->statement ($myManuallyComposedSql);
return $query->execute();

Regards,
Jochen
