| Let's say I have an abstract class Car with 2 subclasses - Truck and Sedan.  The Car, Truck, and Sedan class have the following properties:
 Car - color, max passengers, model
 Truck - num of wheels
 Sedan - has removable top
 
 I have my hibernate annotations configured to follow the table per class hierarchy design.  I have a discriminator column cartype with values 'T' or 'S'.   I am trying to create one criteria or HQL to search for all black color trucks with 6 wheels and all black color sedan with a removable top.  Is there a way for me to create one query to return the Car objects that match that particular search criteria.  I would like to avoid hitting the database twice and then combining the result of the queries.
