Hi,

Can I apply a query filter for session.load() ?

like, session.enableFilter("filterName");
session.load();

Agreed that session.load() returns a single record.
But what if I want to check if the records is supposed to be loaded for a certain condition?
Any suggestions or alternate methods to do this?

Thanks.

Why don't you use a HQL query or the criteria API ??

cz this is not a complete new development.
session.load() has been used throughout the application.

Now, a requirement has cropped up where in we need to filter out data.
dats the reason why i was trying it this way...

I guess you mean session.get(). session.load just returns a proxy and does not even query the database.

Anyway, filters do unfortunately not work on session.get() or load().

Exactly..
filters unfortunately don't work on session.load()/get()..

what could be the best alternative for that?
what i was trying i was..i have overriden the load() method and am firing a corresponding HQL query, thus appending filters.
I know it doesn't sound good...

But any other better suggestions?
