Hi All ,

I am using Hibernate in my Project.

Iam Developing a Search Page .

Recently I got a requirment.

In the Search Page if I enter * or ? records should be display .

For Ex. say in any text box if enter "RE*" or "RE?" related records should be populated in the search page.


My Query is can we achive this by Hibernate . Is there any special method present in the class or any special class exisit?


Can any one help me plzzzzzzzzzzzz

It is not really Hibernate that does the searching but your underlying database. Most databases supports the LIKE operator which you may use as: someColumn LIKE 'foo%', where % matches any number of characters. A lot of examples can be found here: http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/v3/re ... sions.html

Just simply do a replaceAll(regex, replacement) to manually replace the '*' with the '%'
