[database] logic names for entities
-----------------------------------

                 Key: LABS-456
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LABS-456
             Project: Labs
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Magma
    Affects Versions: Current
            Reporter: Simone Gianni
            Assignee: Simone Gianni
             Fix For: Current


Currently Magma offers a DatabaseConverter that, given a required class, parses 
a primary key passed on the URL and retrieves the entity from the database.

Having IDs on the URL is not a bad thing itself, but using logic names gives 
better search engine optimization.

Moreover, there are a number of situations where hard-fetching an entity from 
the Database is needed. For example, in the content fragment, it's possible to 
include the list of last X articles froma  specific section as a side box. That 
method requires a section, which is an entity and must be fetched from the 
database. Since this call can be hardwired in the template, a way to fetch that 
section without using primary key (id) is needed.
