How do you “OR” criteria together when using a criteria query with hibernate?

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 pho         


        

Answer 1

The conditions can be applied using the or / and in different levels of the query using disjunction

Criteria query = getCriteria("ENTITY_NAME");
query.add(Restrictions.ne("column Name", current _value));

Disjunction disjunction = Restrictions.disjunction();

if (param_1 != null)
    disjunction.add(Restrictions.or(Restrictions.eq("column Name", param1)));

if (param_2 != null)
    disjunction.add(Restrictions.or(Restrictions.eq("column Name", param_2)));

if (param_3 != null)
    disjunction.add(Restrictions.or(Restrictions.eq("column Name", param_3)));
if (param_4 != null && param_5 != null)
    disjunction.add(Restrictions.or(Restrictions.and(Restrictions.eq("column Name", param_4 ), Restrictions.eq("column Name", param_5 ))));

if (disjunction.conditions() != null && disjunction.conditions().iterator().hasNext())
    query.add(Restrictions.and(disjunction));

return query.list();
