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 applya "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
2	Life Insurance	25000	0000-00-00 00:00:00
1	Givan Dhara	20000	2007-07-30 17:29:05
3	Life Insurance	500	2005-10-15 00:00:00
4	Car Insurance	2500	2005-01-01 00:00:00
5	Dental Insurance	500	2004-01-01 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());

  }

  }

}
