Named Query with like in where clause

Question

Is it possible to have a like in a where clause in a named query? I am trying to do the following but am getting exceptions

@NamedQuery(name = \"Place.getPla         


        

Answer 1

You can't have the % in the NamedQuery, but you can have it in the value you assign the parameter.

As in:

String city = "needle";
query.setParamter("city", "%" + city + "%");
