First and foremost i would like to say hi to everyone in this forum,

Coming to the point:

I am using the hibernate's Query class to create a query for database access. In the query i have a gender field which recieves the value dynamically on runtime. I am using the code :

if(gender != null) {
query = query.setParameter("gender", gender);
countQuery = countQuery.setParameter("gender", gender);
}

which is supposed to set the parameter. In Eclipse, if i debug through the code, gender has the value 'Male' or 'Female', but the Query will still be showing it as gender.

Can anyone please explain why this is happening and how i can resolve the issue.

Thanks in advance

I guess you'll at least need to post your query (HQL) as well. What do you mean with but the Query will still be showing it as gender?

gender is an Enum class and though the value of gender shows as "Male" or "Female", after the setParameter() is executed the query still showed

d.gender = :gender



Admin please close the topic as i resolved the issue myself..

all i had to do was change gender to gender.name()
if(gender != null) {
query = query.setParameter("gender", gender.name());
countQuery = countQuery.setParameter("gender", gender.name);
}
