Question

public List getAllProducts() throws          


        

Answer 1

In Hibernate 5 the session.createCriteria methods are deprecated. You will need to use a CriteriaBuilder and query from there to get a generic list of Products instead of just List.

Imports

import javax.persistence.criteria.CriteriaBuilder;
import javax.persistence.criteria.CriteriaQuery;

Code

CriteriaBuilder builder = session.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery criteria = builder.createQuery(Products.class);
criteria.from(Products.class);
List products = session.createQuery(criteria).getResultList();
