Hi,

I am new to Hibernate. Having trouble in using "Example.create"
I have a scenario where i have to put criteria for associated object. I tried using "Example.create". But it is returning wrong results.This is what I did.

I have 1 parent class called "Master".
1 child class called "Child".

Inside the Child class I have reference to Master.For putting criteria i did like this.

Child child = new Child();
child(setCode("TEST"));
Master master = new Master();
master.setCode("MAS");
master.setName("MASTER");
child.setMaster(master);

List list = session.createCriteria(Child.class).add(Example.create(child)).createCriteria("master").add(Example.create(child.getMaster())).list();

I am expecting results which matches the criteria I mentioned above. But I am getting all the records from the Child table. When i see the console I am seeing the query like this.

select .... from CHILD c left outer join MASTER m on m.master_id = c.master_id where (1=1) and (1=1)


Can any please tell what I am doing wrong. if it is not possible with "Example" to give criteria fro associated fields is there any other way?
