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

This is what worked for me for an OR condition, that too with an IN condition and not the answer up-voted most on this discussion:

criteria.add( Restrictions.or(
                    Restrictions.eq(ch.getPath(ch.propertyResolver().getXXXX()), "OR_STRING"),
                        Restrictions.in(ch.getPath(ch.propertyResolver().getYYYY()), new String[]{"AA","BB","CC"})
                    ));

Resulting Query:

  and (
            this_.XXXX=? 
            or this_.YYYY in (
                ?, ?, ?
            )
        )
