JPA Like Operator with Integer

Question

Can someone tell me, why this is not working:

criteria.add(cb.like((myentity.get(\"integerid\")).as(String.class), \"2%\"))

Answer 1

I have faced the same issue. I use JPA2.0 and EclipseLink 2.3 as implementation.

The column codeClient is actually an Integer in my DataBase.

The annotation @Convert simply convert my Integer column to a String column.

In that way i can use a like predicate over numbers.

@Entity
@Table(name="COLIS_SO_VM")
public class Colis implements Serializable {

    ...

    @Convert
    private String codeClient;

    ...
}

I know this is an old post but if it can help someone else !
