I am using Hibernate 2 beta 3. I can use the criteria api successfully to query properties of the 'root' persistent class (OrderItem.class)
Criteria = session.createCriteria(OrderItem.class); though when I want to query acros a many to one relationship, I can't work out how to do it. I have an existing text query that I want to convert to allow me to make options optional : String txt = "from orderItem in class " + OrderItem.class.getName() ; String joiner = " where "; if (filter.getState() != null) { txt = txt + joiner + " orderItem.order.state = :orderState"; joiner = " and "; } ... more filter options here ... Query q = hibernateSession.createQuery(txt); if (filter.getState() != null) { q.setParameter("orderState", filter.getState()); } .. more param bindings here .. I have tried this : Criteria criteria = hibernateSession.createCriteria(OrderItem.class); if (filter.getState() != null) { criteria.add(Expression.eq("order.state", filter.getState())); } Which results in an error saying that 'order' ... I have tried using aliases - though I don't know what I am doing here ;) criteria.createAlias("order", "order"); I have tried using "this.order.state" instead of "order.state" I have run out of ideas. Can anyone help ? Thanks.
