if i am calling a parent object with some Criteria Restrictions, how do i set any restrictions on the child object ?

any inputs will be a great help,

Here is how i am doing on the parent object

Criteria cri = session.createCriteria(ParentBean.class)
.add(Restrictions.eq("status", "A"));



DP

can somebody answer this question please.

Are you looking for something like this?

Category has types as well as areas [ Type and Area collection ]

I am firing this query to include some restriction on the children as well.

Criteria crit = session.createCriteria(Category.class).createAlias("types","type").createAlias("areas", "area")
.add(Restrictions.like("type.name", "first")).add(Restrictions.like("area.name", "first"));
