CASE statement in HQL or Criteria

Question

derived from this question, is it possible to use HQL or Criteria for the following SQL statement:

SELECT 
   e.type, 
   count(e), 
   count(d), 
   count (         


        

Answer 1

Well, it seems, case statements are supported:

http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/core/3.5/reference/en/html/queryhql.html

They just don't seem to work within count(). An alternative would be using sum(case when... then 1 else 0 end) instead
