Performs a query against the underlying Catalog, and then properly formulates a page of results to send back to the user. This method is useful when you would like to conserve memory and not send back the entire list of results, nor load them into memory.

Parameters:

query - The query to perform against the underlying Catalog.

type - The ProductType that you are querying for.

pageNum - The number of the ProductPage to return back to the user.

Returns:

The requested ProductPage of results.

Throws:

CatalogException - If any error occurs.

                              ProductType type)
                              throws CatalogException
