Class HibernateCriteriaBuilder

  extended by groovy.lang.GroovyObjectSupport
      extended by grails.orm.HibernateCriteriaBuilder
All Implemented Interfaces:
groovy.lang.GroovyObject

public class HibernateCriteriaBuilder
extends groovy.lang.GroovyObjectSupport

Wraps the Hibernate Criteria API in a builder. The builder can be retrieved through the "createCriteria()" dynamic static method of Grails domain classes (Example in Groovy):

                def c = Account.createCriteria()
                def results = c {
                        projections {
                                groupProperty("branch")
                        }
                        like("holderFirstName", "Fred%")
                        and {
                                between("balance", 500, 1000)
                                eq("branch", "London")
                        }
                        maxResults(10)
                        order("holderLastName", "desc")
                }
 

The builder can also be instantiated standalone with a SessionFactory and persistent Class instance:

         new HibernateCriteriaBuilder(clazz, sessionFactory).list {
                eq("firstName", "Fred")
         }
