Hello,
I'm trying to use a hibernate filter to limit child records of an oneToMany association.

@Entity
public Class Parent {
...
private Set<Child> childs = new HashSet<Child>();
...
@OneToMany (fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
@JoinColumn(name = "fk_parentId")
@Filter(name="validRecord", condition=":field < value")
public Set<Child> getChilds() {
return this.Childs;
}
public void addChild(Child child){
getChilds().add(child);
}
public void setChilds(Set<Child> _childs) {
this.childs = _childs;
}
}

@Entity
@FilterDef(name="fiekd", parameters={ @ParamDef( name="field", type="integer" ) } )
@Filters( {
@Filter(name="validRecord", condition=":field< value")
} )
public class Child{
...
private Parent parent = new Parent();
...
@ManyToOne()
@JoinColumn( name="fk_parentId" )
public Parent getParent()
{
return this.parent;
}
public void setParent( Parent parent )
{
this.parent = parent ;
}
}

How do I get this filter from the session? Do I also have to define it in the SessionFactory from the Spring applicationContext config file? When I just try the following:

Filter childFilter = getSession().enableFilter("validRecord");

I get an exception: Can't located filter...

Help help

Thanks
Yves
