I am trying to call the CONTAINS function of the oracle database through the criteriabuilder.function() method. The code looks like:

criteriabuilder.function("CONTAINS", Integer.class, criteriabuilder.literal("ADDRESS"), criteriabuilder.literal("text-to-search"), ...)

The log shows that "binding parameter [1] as [VARCHAR] - ADDRESS".
While the syntax of the CONTAINS function shows that the first parameter of the CONTAINS function is a column name whose type is not VARCHAR.

CONTAINS(
[schema.]column,
text_query VARCHAR2
[,label NUMBER])
RETURN NUMBER;

This inconsistency causes the code to fail. So the question is how to pass the column name so that it is recognizable by the database. Thanks!
