T - the type of the defined resultpublic interface CriteriaQuery<T> extends AbstractQuery<T>
CriteriaQuery interface defines functionality that is specific
to top-level queries.| Modifier and Type | Method and Description |

Set<ParameterExpression<?>> |
getParameters()

CriteriaQuery<T> |
groupBy(Expression<?>... grouping)
Specify the expressions that are used to form groups over
the query results.
|
CriteriaQuery<T> |
groupBy(List<Expression<?>> grouping)
Specify the expressions that are used to form groups over
the query results.
|
CriteriaQuery<T> |
having(Expression<Boolean> restriction)
Specify a restriction over the groups of the query.
|
CriteriaQuery<T> |
having(Predicate... restrictions)
Specify restrictions over the groups of the query
according the conjunction of the specified restriction
predicates.
|
CriteriaQuery<T> |
multiselect(List<Selection<?>> selectionList)
Specify the selection items that are to be returned in the
query result.
|
CriteriaQuery<T> |
multiselect(Selection<?>... selections)
Specify the selection items that are to be returned in the
query result.
|
CriteriaQuery<T> |
orderBy(List<Order> o)
Specify the ordering expressions that are used to
order the query results.
|
CriteriaQuery<T> |
orderBy(Order... o)
Specify the ordering expressions that are used to
order the query results.
|
CriteriaQuery<T> |
select(Selection<? extends T> selection)
Specify the item that is to be returned in the query result.
|
CriteriaQuery<T> |
where(Expression<Boolean> restriction)
Modify the query to restrict the query result according
to the specified boolean expression.
|
CriteriaQuery<T> |
where(Predicate... restrictions)

to the conjunction of the specified restriction predicates.

Note: Applications using the string-based API may need to specify the type of the select item when it results from a get or join operation and the query result type is specified.
For example:
CriteriaQuery<String> q = cb.createQuery(String.class);
Root<Order> order = q.from(Order.class);
q.select(order.get("shippingAddress").<String>get("state"));
CriteriaQuery<Product> q2 = cb.createQuery(Product.class);
q2.select(q2.from(Order.class)
.join("items")
.<Item,Product>join("product"));
selection - selection specifying the item that
is to be returned in the query resultIllegalArgumentException - if the selection is
a compound selection and more than one selection
item has the same assigned aliasCriteriaQuery<T> multiselect(Selection<?>... selections)
An argument to the multiselect method must not be a tuple- or array-valued compound selection item.
The semantics of this method are as follows:
CriteriaQuery<Tuple> (i.e., a criteria
query object created by either the
createTupleQuery method or by passing a
Tuple class argument to the
createQuery method), a Tuple object
corresponding to the arguments of the multiselect
method, in the specified order, will be instantiated and
returned for each row that results from the query execution.
CriteriaQuery<X> for
some user-defined class X (i.e., a criteria query object
created by passing a X class argument to the createQuery
method), the arguments to the multiselect method will be
passed to the X constructor and an instance of type X will be
returned for each row.
CriteriaQuery<X[]> for
some class X, an instance of type X[] will be returned for
each row. The elements of the array will correspond to the
arguments of the multiselect method, in the
specified order.
CriteriaQuery<Object>
or if the criteria query was created without specifying a
type, and only a single argument is passed to the multiselect
method, an instance of type Object will be returned for
each row.
CriteriaQuery<Object>
or if the criteria query was created without specifying a
type, and more than one argument is passed to the multiselect
method, an instance of type Object[] will be instantiated
and returned for each row. The elements of the array will
correspond to the arguments to the multiselect method,
in the specified order.
selections - selection items corresponding to the
results to be returned by the queryIllegalArgumentException - if a selection item is
not valid or if more than one selection item has
the same assigned aliasCriteriaQuery<T> multiselect(List<Selection<?>> selectionList)
The type of the result of the query execution depends on
the specification of the type of the criteria query object
created as well as the argument to the multiselect method.
An element of the list passed to the multiselect method
must not be a tuple- or array-valued compound selection item.
The semantics of this method are as follows:
CriteriaQuery<Tuple>
(i.e., a criteria query object created by either the
createTupleQuery method or by passing a Tuple class argument
to the createQuery method), a Tuple object corresponding to
the elements of the list passed to the multiselect method,
in the specified order, will be instantiated and returned for each
row that results from the query execution.
CriteriaQuery<X> for
some user-defined class X (i.e., a criteria query object
created by passing a X class argument to the createQuery
method), the elements of the list passed to the multiselect
method will be passed to the X constructor and an instance
of type X will be returned for each row.
CriteriaQuery<X[]> for
some class X, an instance of type X[] will be returned for
each row. The elements of the array will correspond to the
elements of the list passed to the multiselect method,
in the specified order.
CriteriaQuery<Object>
or if the criteria query was created without specifying a
type, and the list passed to the multiselect method contains
only a single element, an instance of type Object will be
returned for each row.
CriteriaQuery<Object>
or if the criteria query was created without specifying a
type, and the list passed to the multiselect method contains
more than one element, an instance of type Object[] will be
instantiated and returned for each row. The elements of the
array will correspond to the elements of the list passed to
the multiselect method, in the specified order.
