Hallo -- would it be possible to query for instances of a class based on a method?
Perhaps if you had a method called getFakeMethod() that returned a String, you could write a query along the lines of


Obviously, the getFakeMethod() method would perform some test that returned "PASS" or not.
Is there any way to do this -- or, even simpler, maybe just to query on a straightforwards method?
Or does the fact that this would probably require every persistent instance of the class to be returned for testing make this a dumb question?
Cheers,

the HQL language is just a way to execute arbitrary SQL code, based on your object tree.

actually, HQLs do NOT query through objetcts, besides it's translated to SQL code and than executed in the database. So thats why what you need will not occur. Maybe there's another way to do something simillar.

another and only way are database functions (stored procedure)
