Hibernate version:3.2.6
Following is a snippet of my mapping file:
<class entity-name="Object1" >
<id name="id" type="java.lang.Long">
<column name="Id" />
<generator class="identity" />
</id>
<property name="f1" type="java.lang.String">
<column name="f_1" length="100" not-null="false"/>
</property>
<property name="f2" type="java.lang.String">
<column name="f_2" length="100" not-null="false"/>
</property>
<filter name="access"
condition="f_1 in (:collection)"/>
</class>
<filter-def name="access">
<filter-param name="collection" type="?"/>
</filter-def>
My question is which type I should use here and which kind of parameter I should put into the Filter.setParameter method at runtime?

Thanks

true u have use setParameter

see the example in page 578 of persistance with hibernate book.

syntax for fiter enabling and seeting the parameters is..

Filter filter = session.enableFilter("limitItemsByUserRank");
filter.setParameter("currentUserRank", loggedInUser.getRanking());
