Hi I'm reading the Hibernate Persistence book and trying to implement filters on my application. Everything seems right, but I can't seem to get it working. Everything else works file except when trying to set the filter parameter. Any ideas?

Hibernate: 3.1.3

hibernate.cfg.xml:

<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
...
<mapping resource="com/mycom/DynamicFilters.hbm.xml"/>
<mapping resource="com/mycom/MyClass.hbm.xml"/>
...
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

DynamicFilters.hbm.xml:

<hibernate-mapping>

<filter-def name="limitByName">
<filter-param name="name" type="String" />
</filter-def>

</hibernate-mapping>

MyClass.hbm.xml:

<hibernate-mapping>

<class name="com.mycom.MyClass" table="`MY_CLASSES`"
dynamic-insert="true" dynamic-update="true">

...

<property name="name" column="`NAME`" />

<filter name="limitByName" condition=":name = NAME"/>

</class>

</hibernate-mapping>


In the code:

HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession().beginTransaction();

Filter filter = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession().enableFilter("limitByName");
filter.setParameter("name", "John");

The mappings look good.
How are you trying to retrive this MyClass Entity?
Filter would be applicable only on HQL and criteria querries. Retrieval by identifier can’t be restricted with a dynamic data filter.

Thanks but...

Anyhow, the problem is the parameter type. I know use string (lower case) not String
