I want to obtain a complete list of items matching a class i pass to a function as
an argument

public List<Campaign> getAllCampaignsEq( Campaign campaign )
{
//DetachedCriteria crit = DetachedCriteria.forClass( Campaign.class );
//crit.add( Example.create(campaign) );
System.out.println("searching the list");
return (List<Campaign>) getHibernateTemplate().findByExample( campaign );
}

which is the correct way to do it ?

thanks in advance,.

I prefer the find by example syntax as its just easier. However, both methods are correct. I don't believe there is a right or wrong answer just multiple ways to get the same result.
