hello,

In the following link for hibernate 5.2 criteria-projection
http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/5.2 ... projection

The Example shown in this section uses "session.createCriteria(Cat.class)" which has been deprecated in the newer version of hibernate.

So I am in a dilemma of what is the valid method to perform such a operation ?

Thank you

The Hibernate Criteria is indeed deprecated so you should not use it anymore.

If you need a DTO projection, you can use:

1. the JPQL NEW clause
2. the Hibernate ResultTransformer

Thanks for the response.
Hibernate ResultTransformer looks like an interesting topic to me. Will surely give it a go.
And I would suggest to please rectify the example with a valid one since it being the official docs for hibernate will be referred by many.

Thanks

Please file a ticket on the Hibernate Jira.
