How to specify pessimistic lock with Criteria API?
I am retrieving a list of objects in hibernate using Criteria API. However I need lock on those objects as another thread executing at the same time will get the exact objects and only one of the thread will succeed in absence of a pessimistic lock. I tried like below, but it is not working. List esns = session .createCriteria(Reddy_Pool.class) .add(Restrictions.eq("status", "AVAILABLE")) .add(Restrictions.eq("name", "REDDY2")) .addOrder(Order.asc("id")) .setMaxResults(n) .setLockMode(LockMode.PESSIMISTIC_WRITE) //not working at all .list(); Update : I am performing an update after this
