Hi

I'm needing to develop a mechanism similar to the Hibernate filter, called restrictions. The main difference is that I need mount the condition of the filter at runtime, before the session factory is built. This is because that the restrictions can change at runtime. But that aspect I'm not thinking about momentarily. I'm developing in manner that the restriction's filters are created at initialization time and, if some restriction changes, what it won't be frequent, the web/Java application must be restarted. But later I'll have to attack this problem.
The problem that I encountered latter is because restrictions can be enabled for a search and disabled for another, in the same Hibernate session. This is a problem when used to fetch lazy associations. For example: I search an entity A that has an lazy association B a first time, with a filter (that is applied to B) enabled. Before, I need to search newly the entity A, with no filter enabled. Before that, I access the association B of the first search, that is fetched now because the lazy mode. But the filter isn't applied to that fetch, because those isn't enabled (although it had been at search time).

A question that I ask myself is wheter I must use filters or no. An approach that I think is manipulate HQLs and Criterias with the restrictions's definitions, without something of filters.
Could you help me, talking me which approaches you would think about. What can't I do, because of the internal implementation of the Hibernate?

Thank you for help.

I'm looking the Hibernate's source code at jsourcery.com for the place where the filters are applied to the SQL string. But I can not do it.
Could someone help me, please. Thank you.
