Very good tip, though not that "advanced" ;-)... would be nice if you would point out that java.lang.String makes heavy use of method chaining too, as well as the Builder Pattern...

"One of the problems of the Method Chaining pattern is the fact that it can not ensure the order of the invoked method."

Solution to that was really advanced, thanks.

Method chaining is a nice approach for Queries and DSL, but it's annoying when an exception occures (e.g. NullPointer). Additional it's harder to debug.
So it's not always the best solution..
