How to join Multiple tables using hibernate criteria where entity relationship is not direct?

Question

I have three entities. those are:

@Entity
public class Organization {
    @Id
    private long id;
    @Column
    private String name;
}

@Entity
public class Book {
    @Id
    private Long id;
    @Column
    private String name;
    @ManyToOne
    private Organization organization;
}

@Entity
public class Account  {
   @Id
   private Long id;
   @Column
   private String name;
   @ManyToOne
   private Book book;
}

In these three entities I would like to perform following sql:

SELECT acc.name, acc.id
FROM account acc
JOIN book b on acc.book_id = b.id
JOIN organization org on b.organization_id = org.id
WHERE org.name = 'XYZ'

In this case Account entity has no relation with the Organization entity directly. Account entity has the relation via Book. How can I achieve this using hibernate criteria dynamic query?

Answer 1

you can do like this :

Criteria accountCriteria = getCurrentSession().createCriteria(Account.class,"acc");
Criteria bookCriteria =  accountCriteria .createCriteria("book","b");
Criteria orgCriteria =  bookCriteria.createCriteria("organization","org");
orgCriteria.add(Restrictions.eq("name", "XYZ"));

ProjectionList properties = Projections.projectionList();
properties.add(Projections.property("name"));
properties.add(Projections.property("id"));

accountCriteria.setProjection(properties);
accountCriteria.list();
