How to achieve "not in" by using Restrictions and criteria in Hibernate?

Question

I have list of category. I need a list of category by excluding 2,3 row. Can we achieve through hibernate by using Criteria and Restriction?

Answer 1

Your question is somewhat unclear. Assuming "Category" is a root entity and "2,3" are ids (or values of some property of the category") you can exclude them using the following:

Criteria criteria = ...; // obtain criteria from somewhere, like session.createCriteria()  criteria.add(   Restrictions.not(      // replace "id" below with property name, depending on what you're filtering against     Restrictions.in("id", new long[] {2, 3})   ) ); 

Same can be done with DetachedCriteria.
