Hibernate ORM - hibernate-core 6.4.4.Final · org.hibernate.query.criteria

The JPA-standard criteria query API defines all the operations needed express any query written in standard JPQL. This package extends the JPA-defined API, allowing any query written in HQL to be expressed via the criteria API.

The gateway to this functionality is org.hibernate.query.criteria.HibernateCriteriaBuilder, which extends jakarta.persistence.criteria.CriteriaBuilder.

Types defined in this package extend the equivalent types in jakarta.persistence.criteria with additional operations. For example, org.hibernate.query.criteria.JpaCriteriaQuery adds the methods:

org.hibernate.query.criteria.JpaCriteriaQuery#from(Subquery), which allows the use of a subquery in the from clause of the query, and
org.hibernate.query.criteria.JpaCriteriaQuery#with(AbstractQuery), which allows the creation of common table expressions.

The very useful operation org.hibernate.query.criteria.HibernateCriteriaBuilder#createQuery(java.lang.String, java.lang.Class) transforms a given HQL query string to an equivalent criteria query.

The class org.hibernate.query.criteria.CriteriaDefinition is a helpful utility that makes it easier to construct criteria queries.
