I'm trying to change the following HQL to use JPA Criteria:
select distinct d from Department d left join fetch d.children c where d.parent is null and ( d.name like :term or c.name like :term ) order by d.name
Department
has a Set<Department>
of children.
Criteria:
CriteriaBuilder cb = getEntityManager().getCriteriaBuilder(); CriteriaQuery<Department> c = cb.createQuery(Department.class); Root<Department> root = c.from(Department.class); root.fetch("children", JoinType.LEFT); Path<Department> children = root.join("children", JoinType.LEFT); c.orderBy(cb.asc(root.get("name"))); c.distinct(true); c.where(cb.isNull(root.get("parent"))); String param = "%" + "term" + "%"; cb.and(cb.like(root.<String> get("name"), param)); cb.or(cb.like(children.<String> get("name"), param)); TypedQuery<Department> tq = getEntityManager().createQuery(c); departments = tq.getResultList();
I know it can be a bit terse, however, the HQL returns 24 and Criteria version 28. I think I'm not handling:
and (x = y OR z = y)
correctly. Any pointers will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
