Question

The setFetchMode in DetachedCriteria takes “String associationPath” as an argument. I couldnt find what it is. Do i need to send the other entity name or table name or any other value for this argument? I tried calling with a random value, it didnt throw any exception.

Thanks.

It is path to the persistent attribute, exactly as with normal Criteria.

For example:

DetachedCriteria criteria = DetachedCriteria.forClass(Group.class);
...
criteria.setFetchMode("members", FetchMode.JOIN);
