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

I know this thread is pretty old, but I also was looking for a HqlBuilder And I found this "screensaver" project
It is NOT a Windows screensaver, it's a "Lab Information Management System (LIMS) for high-throughput screening (HTS) facilities that perform small molecule and RNAi screens."

It contains an HQLBuilder that is looking quite good.
Here is a sample list of available methods:

...
HqlBuilder select(String alias);
HqlBuilder select(String alias, String property);
HqlBuilder from(Class entityClass, String alias);
HqlBuilder fromFetch(String joinAlias, String joinRelationship, String alias);
HqlBuilder where(String alias, String property, Operator operator, Object value);
HqlBuilder where(String alias, Operator operator, Object value);
HqlBuilder where(String alias1, Operator operator, String alias2);
HqlBuilder whereIn(String alias, String property, Set values);
HqlBuilder whereIn(String alias, Set values);
HqlBuilder where(Clause clause);
HqlBuilder orderBy(String alias, String property);
HqlBuilder orderBy(String alias, SortDirection sortDirection);
HqlBuilder orderBy(String alias, String property, SortDirection sortDirection);
String toHql();
