Full Package + Class name in Query

Hello,

I am not quite a newbie, but the question sounds like it!

When querying, is there a way to use the class name only, rather than the fully qualified package name + class to reference an object? I would assume so since the Cat example in the documentation use:

Code:

List cats = sess.find(
    "from Cat as cat where cat.birthdate = ?",
    date,
    Hibernate.DATE
);

instead of

Code:

List cats = sess.find(
    "from net.sf.hibernate.examples.quickstart.Cat as cat where cat.birthdate = ?",
    date,
    Hibernate.DATE
);

since the Cat is in net.sf.hibernate.examples.quickstart package

i don't think i have ever used the full package name. i don't see why you can't use the POJO name.

Read documentation, <class ... auto-import="...">

Thanks for the response. If I do not use the package name + class, I get an exception:

This works fine:

Code:

dbSession.find( "FROM com.mypackage.MyObject mo WHERE mo.name='test'" )

This does Not Work:

Code:

dbSession.find( "FROM MyObject mo WHERE mo.name='test'" )

with this exception:

Code:

net.sf.hibernate.QueryException: in expected: mo [FROM MyObject mo WHERE mo.name='test']

Thanks. Had auto-import="false" on.

since i use XDoclets to generate my mapping files i guess i never set the auto-import property. must default to true.
