Criteria in Hibernate

0

Criteria return complete objects after data selection, it is the predefined interface of Hibernate which contains multiple methods to perform the conditional operation.
For example, if we want to select the record of students whose fees are less than 50000 then we will use Criteria Object. It is the best way to select data from the database.
The main difference between criteria and HQL is that criteria return complete objects and HQL return partial objects.
We can perform data insertion, update, deletion, and selection using HQL but using Criteria we can select data only.
Syntax of Criteria in Hibernate?
Criteria q = session.createCriteria(PojoClassname);  //Vendor.class
List lst = q.list();
Iterator it = lst.iterator();
while(it.hasNext())
{
    PoJO v=(POJO)it.next();
   out.print(v.getterOfPojo()+" "+v.getterOfPojo()+"<br>");
}
What are Restrictions?
It is another interface that is used to apply condition on Criteria Object, Restrictions Class provide predefine method to apply the condition. It returns Criterion type data hence we always create  the object of criterian to get  Restriction data.
Criterion c = Restrictions.gt("columnname",new Integer(value));
Example of Criteria in Core Java Application:-
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.List;
import org.hibernate.Criteria;
import org.hibernate.Query;
import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
import org.hibernate.criterion.Criterion;
import org.hibernate.criterion.Restrictions;
public class ViewAllStudent {
public static void main(String args[])
{
Configuration cfg = new Configuration();
cfg.configure("hibernate.cfg.xml");
SessionFactory sf= cfg.buildSessionFactory();
Session s = sf.openSession();
Criteria ct = s.createCriteria(Student.class);
//Criterion rt = Restrictions.ge("fees",20000);
//Criterion rt = Restrictions.between("fees", 50000,550000);
ArrayList<Integer> aa = new ArrayList<Integer>();
aa.add(1002);
aa.add(1111);
Criterion rt = Restrictions.in("rno",aa);
ct.add(rt);
List lst = ct.list();
Iterator it = lst.iterator();
while(it.hasNext())
{
Object o = it.next();
Student stu = (Student)o;
System.out.println(stu.getRno() + " "+stu.getSname() + " "+stu.getBranch() + " "+stu.getFees());
}
s.close();
sf.close();
}
}
Criteria Example in Web Application?
Now I am providing a complete example of Criteria under the JSP Web Page:-
 <%@page import="org.hibernate.criterion.*"%>
<%@page import="org.hibernate.cfg.*"%>
<%@page import="org.hibernate.*"%>
<%@page import="java.util.*" %>
<%@page import="dal.Reg" %>
<%@page import="helper.Datahelper" %>
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
    pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<body>
<table border="1">
<tr><th>Username</th><th>Password</th><th>Email</th><th>Mobile</th></tr>
<%
Configuration cfg = new Configuration();
cfg.configure("hibernate.cfg.xml"); 
SessionFactory factory = cfg.buildSessionFactory();
Session sess = factory.openSession();
Criteria crt = sess.createCriteria(Reg.class);
//Criterion ct = Restrictions.eq("username","s");
//Criterion ct = Restrictions.like("username","k%");
ArrayList arr = new ArrayList();
arr.add("1234");
arr.add("121");
Criterion ct = Restrictions.in("password",arr);
crt.add(ct);
List lst = crt.list();
Iterator it = lst.iterator();
while(it.hasNext())
   {
Reg r =(Reg)it.next();
   %>
   <tr><td><%= r.getUsername() %></td><td><%= r.getPassword()  %></td><td><%= r.getEmail() %> </td><td><%= r.getMobile() %></td><td><a href="Find.jsp?q=<%= r.getUsername() %>">Edit</a></td><td><a href="Deleteconfirm.jsp?q=<%= r.getUsername() %>">Delete</a></td></tr>    
   <%}
   sess.close();
   factory.close();
    %>
 </table>
</body>
</html>
