Class Projections

java.lang.Object

org.hibernate.criterion.Projections

public final class Projections
extends Object

The criterion package may be used by applications as a framework for building new kinds of Projection. However, it is intended that most applications will simply use the built-in projection types via the static factory methods of this class. The factory methods that take an alias allow the projected value to be referred to by criterion and order instances. See also the Restrictions factory methods for generating Criterion instances
