List students = sess.createCriteria(student.class)
    .add( Restrictions.eq("name", "John") )
    .add( Restrictions.eq("name", "Paul")) )
    .list();

This is the non working code.

Answer 1

Try:

List students = sess.createCriteria(student.class)
   .add( Restrictions.in("name", new String[] { "John", "Paul" } ) )
   .list();

PS. I recommend you using QueryDSL than Criteria API.

Answer 2

Something like this:

 Criteria crit = session.createCriteria(Student.class);
 Criterion name =  Restrictions.eq("name", "John") ;
 Criterion name2 = Restrictions.eq("name", "Paul"));
 LogicalExpression orExp = Restrictions.or(name,name2);
 crit.add(orExp);
 List<Student> results = crit.list();
