Hi there, i'm glad to join this magnificent community! This is my first big problem i'm getting
and i hope that you cian help me out!!!!!

I'm trying to fetch eagerly in 3 LISTS with each having one filter to filter out the specified flag.
When i get the result all 3 of these lists populate the same stuff. The filtering doesn't work and
i don't know if hibernate allows me to do that kind of operation in fact.

Here is my code for the ENTITY

@Entity
@Table(name = "users")
@FilterDefs({
@FilterDef(name="filter_by_profile_experiences", parameters={@ParamDef(name="item_type1",type="string")}, defaultCondition="itemType LIKE \"EXP\""),
@FilterDef(name="filter_by_profile_certifications", parameters={@ParamDef(name="item_type2",type="string")}, defaultCondition="itemType LIKE \"CER\""),
@FilterDef(name="filter_by_profile_diplomas", parameters={@ParamDef(name="item_type3",type="string")}, defaultCondition="itemType LIKE \"DIP\"")
})
public class User implements Serializable {

private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

HERE IS THE DAO ENABLING THE FILTERS

@Transactional(propagation = Propagation.SUPPORTS, readOnly = true)
public User getUserByUsername(String username) {
User user = null;

Transaction tx = hibernateTemplate.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession().beginTransaction();
Session session = hibernateTemplate.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();
tx.begin();
session.enableFilter("filter_by_profile_experiences").setParameter("item_type1", "EXP");
session.enableFilter("filter_by_profile_certifications").setParameter("item_type2", "CER");
session.enableFilter("filter_by_profile_diplomas").setParameter("item_type3", "DIP");
List<User> result = hibernateTemplate.find("from User where username = ?", username);

if (result.size() == 1)
user = result.get(0);

session.disableFilter("filter_by_profile_experiences");
session.disableFilter("filter_by_profile_certifications");
session.disableFilter("filter_by_profile_diplomas");
tx.commit();
return user;
}

The fetching works great but the 3 lists are not well populated!

Why do you use parameters at all, if these always have the same value? Have a look at @Where, this looks more appropriate for you.

btw. use the code-tag to post code. [code] [/code]
