The SessionFactory

getColumn

String getColumn(Criteria criteria,
                 String propertyPath)
          throws HibernateException

Resolve a property path to the name of the column it maps to. Ignores projection aliases.

Parameters:

criteria - The overall criteria

propertyPath - The property path to resolve

Returns:

The column name

findColumns

String[] findColumns(String propertyPath,
                     Criteria criteria)
              throws HibernateException

Returns:

The column names

Throws:

HibernateException - if the property could not be resolved

getType

Type getType(Criteria criteria,
             String propertyPath)
      throws HibernateException

Get the type of a property path.

Parameters:

                                   String propertyPath)
                            throws HibernateException

Get the names of the columns mapped by a property path. Here, the property path can refer to a projection alias.

Parameters:

criteria - The criteria

propertyPath - The property path to resolve or projection alias

Returns:

The column names

Throws:

HibernateException - if the property/alias could not be resolved

getTypeUsingProjection

Type getTypeUsingProjection(Criteria criteria,
                            String propertyPath)
                     throws HibernateException

                  throws HibernateException

Build a typed-value for the property/value combo. Essentially the same as manually building a TypedValue using the given value and the resolved type using getTypeUsingProjection(org.hibernate.Criteria, java.lang.String).
