I have to load by unique key.
can I have any method to do that?
I expect like the following,

session.loadByUniqueKey(Entityclass, property, value);

Code:

Criteria crit = session.createCriteria( MyPersistent.class );
crit.add( Restrictions.eq( "uniqPropertyName", propertyValueObject ) );
MyPersistent = (MyPersistent)crit.uniqueResult();

I guess the above code will be useful to you when you want object with the given business key.

Hi,

I suppose you dont have a method to load a unique key like pk.

So you will have to use Criteria as the above poster said or an HQL.

I prefer Criteria.
