Hi,

Is there any way to support regular expressions while using Hibernate, I mean for a criteria something like this:

Code:

List cats = sess.createCriteria(Cat.class)
    .add( Restrictions.in( "name", "\\myCat\\b*") )
    .list();

It would be awesome....

Many thanks for any answer !

I think we're really limited to the Restrictions object, and all of its various methods. There are alot though!

JavaDoc for restrictions class:
