I'm unable to negate a join query using the Spring Java interface to Solr

[Todd Stevenson]

I have the following query:

    {!join from=conceptNcid to=ncid fromIndex=hdd_rel_tst}relationshipNcid:364

which I implemented in Spring:

       Criteria criteria = new Criteria("relationshipNcid").is("364");

        SimpleQuery search = new SimpleQuery(criteria, pageable);
        
search.setJoin(Join.from("conceptNcid").fromIndex("hdd_rel_tst").to("ncid"));

        Page<T> results = solrTemplate.queryForPage(search, myclass);

This query works great.

However, when I attempt to negate the query (using the minus sign at the 
beginning):

    -{!join from=conceptNcid to=ncid fromIndex=hdd_rel_tst}relationshipNcid:364

with this code:

       Criteria criteria = new Criteria("relationshipNcid").is("364").not();

        SimpleQuery search = new SimpleQuery(criteria, pageable);
        
search.setJoin(Join.from("conceptNcid").fromIndex("hdd_rel_tst").to("ncid"));

        Page<T> results = solrTemplate.queryForPage(search, myclass);

it does not work.  Notice where I put the 'not()' on the first line.  This 
actual executes this query:

    {!join from=conceptNcid to=ncid fromIndex=hdd_rel_tst}-relationshipNcid:364


I know this is the wrong place, but I can't see how to negate the entire query 
in the java code.   It seems to need a 'not()' method for the SimpleQuery class 
since the join is placed on the query,  but I can't see anything in the 
documentation.

Any ideas?
