Let's say we have this entity with an attribute that is not directly exposed.
class EntityA { String field; } and then you pass a collection of EntityA instances to createFilter like Collection<EntityA> collection = ... collection = session.createFilter(collection, "field = 'abc%'").getResultList(); See my point? Since Hibernate can access the field directly, this works, but with streams you'd need to expose the field via a getter so you can filter for it.
