Hi,

Is it possible to write a HQL Query without exposing datamodel/bean attributes with "where" clause ?

When we write a Hql query with where clause, it looks somthing like:

"From Foo where Foo.name='%F' "

However, the knowledge that Foo has an attribute "name" should be available to the user.

What if User is only aware of getters and setters in datamodel "Foo", Is it can still possible to construct a Hql query?

Hi All,

I solved this problem by having string constants withi values of the property names. It works for me this way.

Thanks Anyways.

Hibernate allows you to map to JavaBean getters/setters (default), or directly to fields, depending on what you specify in the mapping. If you want to hide the actual field names, and map to the JavaBean properties specified by the getters/setters, then that's fine.

thanks for the reply.

My problem was to access column names from client code to write Hql queries. The getter and setter methods would not be much of help here.
