Hi, i need somebody help.

In my case, i have two objects(parent, child) and i want to retrieve parent.name and child.name by a search criteria.

parent model
----------------
String name
List childList

child model
--------------
String name


Critetria crit = sess.createCriteria(parent.class);
crit.add(Expression.eq("name","parentNameValue");
crit.add(Expression.eq("childList.name","childNameValue");

but i got a error mention that can't found 'childList.name' from parent.class. how to solve this problem?

yeah, i just ran into this

create a sub criteria off of the first criteria


Critetria crit = sess.createCriteria(parent.class);
Critetria subCrit = crit.createCriteria("childList");

// expressions here

I believe what you can also do is call list() on both criterias and combine them together to form your final result
