[TYPO3-mvc] Cannot get findByProperty to work

Actually it wil be a QueryResult, not an ObjectStorage, which means it will not have been executed yet (->toArray() executes the QueryResult first). These QueryResults can be used in Paginate Widgets for example, to manipulate the QueryResult's query settings before it actually gets executed.

If you want Pagination or other QueryResult features naturally you should adapt your code instead of using ->toArray(). You should consider ->toArray() a fallback to be used only in cases where a QueryResult definitely cannot be supported.

Cheers,
