i am developing an application in which i need search functionality, i want to write HQL query that dynamically create according to parameters.
Currently i have 4 parameters, while searching all parameters are required or 1 or 2 or 3 parameters required according to how user want to searchs.
public List<Plot> fetchSearchedPlots(int plotType, String plotSize, String min, String max)
{
Session session = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
List<Plot> searchedLists = new ArrayList<Plot>();
String query = "FROM Plot where type = ? and size = ? and price >= ? and price <= ?";
searchedLists = (List<Plot>)session.createQuery( query )
.setInteger( 0, plotType )
.setString( 1, plotSize )
.setString( 2, min )
.setString( 3, max ).list();
return searchedLists;
}
this is my general query for all 4 parameters, now i have to write a search query in which i use multiple optional parameters, How to make this query with optional parameters? kindly convert my query to dynamically optional parameters query ?
Thanks
I Converted query by myself like this
Session session = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
List<Plot> searchedLists = new ArrayList<Plot>();
Map<String, Object> params = new HashMap<String,Object>();
String hqlQuery = "from Plot where societyBlock.societyBlockId = :societyBlock";
params.put( "societyBlock", societyId );
if(plotType != null)
{
hqlQuery += " and type.typeId = :type";
params.put( "type", plotType );
}
if(!plotSize.isEmpty() && plotSize != null && !plotSize.equals( "" ))
{
hqlQuery += " and size = :size";
params.put( "size", plotSize );
}
if(min != null)
{
hqlQuery += " and price >= :pricemin";
params.put( "pricemin", min );
}
if(max != null)
{
hqlQuery += " and price <= :pricemax";
params.put( "pricemax", max );
}
Query query = session.createQuery( hqlQuery );
for (String str : query.getNamedParameters())
{
query.setParameter( str, params.get( str ) );
}
searchedLists = (List<Plot>) query.list();
System.out.println( searchedLists.size() );
return searchedLists;
Another variant for dynamic queries is to use Criteria API:
Criteria crit = session.createCriteria(Plot.class);
if (status != null) {
crit.add(Restrictions.eq("status", status));
}
// other where clauses
For your variant from the question with dynamic criteria creation based on input:
Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria(Plot.class);;
if(type != null) {
criteria.add(Restrictions.eq("type", type));
}
if(size != null) {
criteria.add(Restrictions.eq("size", size));
}
if(min != null && max != null) {
criteria.add(Restrictions.between("price", min, max));
}
List<Case> searchedLists = criteria.list();
return searchedLists;
You can do something like shown below:
Map<String, Object> parameters= new HashMap<String,Object>();
parameters.put("status", status);
StringBuilder hql = "SELECT employee FROM Employee as employee where 1 = 1";
if (status != null) {
hql.append(" and employee.status in :status");
}
Query query = session.createQuery(hql.toString());
for (String p : query.getNamedParameters()) {
query.setParameter(p, parameters.get(p));
}
