Search hibernate entities by prototype

Question

I\'ve got JPA entity class like this:

@Entity
@Table(name = \"person\")
public class Person {
   @Id
   private Long id;
   private String lastName;
   private S         


        

Answer 1

You should look into Hibernate Criteria. You can stack restrictions as such:

List cats = sess.createCriteria(Cat.class)
    .add( Restrictions.like("name", "Fritz%") )
    .add( Restrictions.or(
        Restrictions.eq( "age", new Integer(0) ),
        Restrictions.isNull("age")
    ) )
    .list();

Restrictions refer to annotated variables in the class. Take a look at the documentation.
