Hi, I've been banging my head against the wall for a while so here goes..(class names changed to protect the innocent)
I have 3 classes Employer, Employee, Manager.
Each Employer has one or more Employees, each Employee has 2 Managers (districtManager and areaManager) I want to do a search for
based on the name of the districtManager or areaManagers name. So I have..

Criteria c = getCurrentSession().createCriteria(Employer .class);
c.createCriteria("employee");
//this where is starts to blur I want to add a Restriction that is the equivalent to...
// where districtManager.name like '%blah% or areaManager.name like '%blah%';

//I can do
c.createCriteria("employee").createCriteria("districtManager).add(Restrictions.like("name",blah);
// and
c.createCriteria("employee").createCriteria("areaManager).add(Restrictions.like("name",blah);

//BUT what I ( think) I want to do is make a disjunction of the 2 Criteria(districtManager and areaManager) . How can I do that?
