Hibernate Projections, Example On Hibernate Projections

Now we will see how to use this criteria to select partial objects from the database with the help of projections, (Remember, We cant select partial objects in criteria with out projections support)

files required…

• Product.java(POJO class)
• Product.hbm.xml
• hibernate.cfg.xml
• ForOurLogic.java (For writing our business logic)

• Product.java

  Notes:

• In the above ForOurLogic.java line numbers 26 – 37 , we loaded product name column so i typecast into String  in while loop
• but from 39, i loaded price column, actually price always used to be in the form of double right so, we must typecast into double

• And that’s it.., hope you clear about this concept (make sure you must see the previous sessions then only you will understand this program 100%), let us see the Example Program On Hibernate Criteria With Multiple Projections in the next session
