I have a existing code where the application generates different sql depend of lot of conditions and execute them via hibernate sessions createSQLQuery(). In here the parameters
If you need to assemble custom SQL into a query, I've found writing my own criteria classes that includes the custom SQL works well.
You just need to implement the Criterion interface. https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/3.5/api/org/hibernate/criterion/Criterion.html
(See also the Hibernate implementation of 'not null': http://www.grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.hibernate/hibernate/3.2.4.sp1/org/hibernate/criterion/NotNullExpression.java?av=f .)
Then you can simply build up each custom query using the normal hibernate criteria API.

Sanitising SQL values properly is painful - try really hard to avoid it! ;-)
