We also use hibernate & spring for that kinds of things. Here's an example (in a class extending HibernateDaoSupport):
public List<Empleado> getObjects(Date startDate){ DetachedCriteria criteria = DetachedCriteria.forClass (Empleado.class); criteria.add(Restrictions.ge("desde", startDate));//desde must be the name of the field in your Empleado object List<Empleado> result = getHibernateTemplate().findByCriteria (criteria); return result; } That's my recommended solution in Hibernate (notice that there are no strings [besides the name of the field of course] just dates and Empleados ;) ) Cheers, Salvador On 15 mai, 15:28, sindroide <efectob...@gmail.com> wrote: > thanks Salvador... what i trying to do is a query to postgres db in > wich one of the parameters it's a date. > And if i send the textual date of Date variable the query fails... > because postgres can't compare the two dates.
