Having similar trouble... @ChssPly76 answer works fine, but just found solution if foreign key is not part of Id in parent table - you must modify annotation by adding "referencedColumnName":

private Address address;

and then you can create criteria:

criteria.add(restriction.eq("address.addrUniqueFieldName", 123);
