Java Hibernate HQL to Hibernate Criteria

Question

I have a class that uses Hibernate HQL queries. I would like to change these into Hibernate Criteria queries. However, Hibernate Criteria is a lot harder for me to understand than HQL, even with tutorials. Could someone show me how one of the queries would look like using Hibernate Criteria/Filters?

Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
        configuration.configure().setProperty("hibernate.show_sql", "false");
ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry = new ServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(
                                  configuration.getProperties()).buildServiceRegistry();
SessionFactory sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistry);

Session session =sessionFactory.openSession();
Transaction tx = session.beginTransaction();
Query query = session.createQuery("from TABLENAME WHERE IDObject1= :idObjectA" +
              "AND IDObject2= :idObjectB AND IDSettingOption = :idSettingOption");
query.setParameter("idObjectA", idObjectB);
query.setParameter("idObjectB", idObjectB);
query.setParameter("idSettingOption", idSettingOption);

List results = query.list();

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria( TABLENAME.class );

criteria.add( Restrictions.eq( "IDObject1" , idObjectB) );
criteria.add( Restrictions.eq( "IDObject2" , idObjectB) );
criteria.add( Restrictions.eq( "IDSettingOption" ,idSettingOption) );

List results = criteria.list();

Here you can read about Criteria API, it has a lot of examples:

Answer 2

List results = session.createCriteria(Entity.class)
    .add(Restrictions.eq("IDObject1", idObjectA))
    .add(Restrictions.eq("IDObject2", idObjectB))
    .add(Restrictions.eq("idSettingOption", idSettingOption))
    .list();
