Customizing Hibernate Criteria - Adding conditions to a left join
- by Douglas Ferguson
I need to be able to do the following:
Select * from Table1
left join Table2 on id1 = id2 AND i1 = ?
Hibernate criteria doesn't allow be to specify the i1 = ? part.
The existing code is using hibernate criteria and it would be a huge refactor to swap out for HQL
Does anybody have any tips how I could implement this differently or any way to override the Hibernate Criteria? I'm not opposed to cracking open hibernate and modifying, but when I began to dig it, there seems to be layers upon layers of abstractions. I never found the the point where SQL is actually generated...
