Hibernate version:
3.0.2

Hello!
I am using Criteria to allow users in my App to query almost anything in the Db, but I have one problem when I have to go for a deep join I have to create the table graoh in order to navigate the table structure. In my graph each node is an entity mapped to hibernate involved in the query and two nodes are related if one has an association to the other. I've got to do this on runtime, I've looked through the API and examples and i haven't found anything on how to do this. Can anyone help please?
Thnx in advance!!

Sergio!

The current Configuration object contains all of the class mappings and associations. For example, use getClassMapping("org.eg.User") of the Configuration to return a PersistentClass of the User mapping. You can navigate the object graph associations through many of the methods found therein, see the code/javadocs.

Hey Ananasi thnx for the reply, the thing is I am deploying in JBoss from an .har file, so I don't have a Configuration object. So i need an alternate way to create the PersistentClass object in order to navigate the graph, do you have any idea how to do that?

You can get the ClassMetadata from the SessionFactory through getClassMetadata methods. I've never went that route before, but it looks pretty complete.
