Question

I’m trying to do a basic ‘OR’ on three fields using a hibernate criteria query.

Example

class Whatever{  string name;  string address;  string phoneNumber; } 

I’d like to build a criteria query where my search string could match ‘name’ or ‘address’ or ‘phoneNumber’.

Answer 1

You want to use Restrictions.disjuntion(). Like so

session.createCriteria(Whatever.class)     .add(Restrictions.disjunction()         .add(Restrictions.eq('name', queryString))         .add(Restrictions.eq('address', queryString))         .add(Restrictions.eq('phoneNumber', queryString))     ); 

See the Hibernate doc here.
