Hibernate Criteria Expression (le)

     

In this section, you will learn to use the "le" method. This is one of the most important  method that is used to apply a "less than or equal" constraint to the named property.

Expressions: The Hibernate Criteria API supports a rich set of comparison operators. Some standard SQL operators are =, <, ?, >, ?. That supports le() method in Expression class.

In this tutorial, "le" is used with the Integer object (invested_amount). It takes two parameters e.g.  le("property_name",Object val).

Table Name: insurance

ID insurance_name invested_amount investement_date

4 Car Insurance   2500 2005-01-01 00:00:00

6  Life Insurance 900 2003-01-01 00:00:00
7  Travel Insurance  2000  2005-02-02 00:00:00

Here is the code of the class using "le" Expression :

package roseindia.tutorial.hibernate;

import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.List;

import org.hibernate.Criteria;
import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
import org.hibernate.criterion.Expression;

public class HibernateCriteriaQueryExpressionLe {

  /**
 * @param args
 */
  public static void main(String[] args) {
  // TODO Auto-generated method stub

Session sess = null;
try {
 SessionFactory fact = new 
Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
 sess = fact.openSession();
 Criteria crit = 
sess.createCriteria(Insurance.class);
 crit.add(Expression.le("
investementAmount",new Integer(900)));
 List list = crit.list();
  for (Iterator it =
 list.iterator();it.hasNext();){
Insurance ins = (Insurance)it.next();
System.out.println("Insurance 
Id: "  + ins.getLngInsuranceId());
System.out.println("Insurance 
Name: " + ins.getInsuranceName());
System.out.println("Insurance 
Amount: " + ins.getInvestementAmount());
System.out.println("Investement
 Date: " + ins.getInvestementDate());
  }
  sess.close();
  }
  catch(Exception e){
  System.out.println(e.getMessage());
  }
  }
}
