Looking for an HQL builder (Hibernate Query Language)

Question

I\'m looking for a builder for HQL in Java. I want to get rid of things like:

StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder()
    .append(\"select stock from \")
            


        

Answer 1

For a type-safe approach to your problem, consider Querydsl.

The example query becomes

HQLQuery query = new HibernateQuery(session);
List s = query.from(stock, bonus)
  .where(stock.someValue.eq(bonus.id))
  .list(stock);

Querydsl uses APT for code generation like JPA2 and supports JPA/Hibernate, JDO, SQL and Java collections.

I am the maintainer of Querydsl, so this answer is biased.
