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 \")

It looks like you want to use the Criteria query API built into Hibernate. To do your above query it would look like this:

List stocks = session.createCriteria(Stock.class)
    .add(Property.forName("id").eq(id))
    .list();

If you don't have access to the Hibernate Session yet, you can used 'DetachedCriteria' like so:

DetachedCriteria criteria = DetachedCriteria.forClass(Stock.class) 
    .add(Property.forName("id").eq(id));

If you wanted to get all Stock that have a Bonus with a specific ID you could do the following:

DetachedCriteria criteria = DetachedCriteria.forClass(Stock.class)
     .createCriteria("Stock")
          .add(Property.forName("id").eq(id)));
