Question

 public User findUser(String email) {
                User user = null;
                user = (User) sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().createCriteria(User.class).add(Restrictions.eq("email", email)).uniqueResult();

                return user;

        }

Now I want to add one more restriction as if active is 1 how can I do it. I am not finding any way that I could check for two restrictions
Please suggest

Answer 1

The add(Criteria) method returns itself (this) to allow for chaining.

public User findUser(String email) {
    User user = null;
    Criteria c = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().createCriteria(User.class);

    //You can chain the add method, because it returns `this`.
    c = c.add(Restrictions.eq("email", email)).add(Restrictions.eq("active", 1));
    return (User) c.uniqueResult();
}
