I’d like to use Hibernate’s criteria api to formulate a particular query that joins two entities. Let’s say I have two entities, Pet and Owner with a owner having many pets, but crucially that association is not mapped in the Java annotations or xml.
With hql, I could select owners that have a pet called ‘fido’ by specifying the join in the query (rather than adding a set of pets to the owner class).
Can the same be done using hibernate criteria? If so how?
Thanks, J
My understanding is that if you do this using HQL, you are creating a Cartesian join with a filter, rather than an inner join. Criteria queries do not support doing this.
