I need to put the next query into criteria
SELECT DISTINCT SUBSTRING(id, 1, LENGTH(id)-3) AS id_trunc, MAX(version) as version, MAX(code) as code
FROM theTable
WHERE (version like '%.%' AND NOT version LIKE '%.0' AND event_code LIKE 'CODE1') OR (version LIKE '%.0' AND code LIKE 'CODE2')
GROUP BY id_trunc
ORDER BY id_trunc, version, code
I have exprience using Criteria but just for simple stuff, in this case I would need a way to do a projection, a Group By, and an Order By. I tried a few times but I couldn't make it work. I looked everywhere but I couldn't find any help for a query as complicated as this one.
This is what i have until now
Criterion whereClause = Restrictions.and(Restrictions.like("version","%.%"),
Restrictions.and(Restrictions.not(Restrictions.like("version","%.0")),Restrictions.like("code","CODE1")));
Criterion secondWhere = Restrictions.and(Restrictions.like("Version","%.0"), Restrictions.like("code","CODE2"));
LogicalExpression orWhere= Restrictions.or(whereClause,secondWhere);
criteria.add(orWhere);
You have the restriction part right.
So, to calculate your projection:
criteria.setProjection(Projections.projectionList().
add(Projections.groupProperty("SUBSTRING(id, 1, LENGTH(id)-3)", "id_trunc")).
add(Projections.max("version")).
add(Projections.max("code")))
Now to map your results you'll need another object, which will hold only three fields, and a transformer.
criteria.setResultTransformer(Transformers.aliasToBean(TruncatedIdWithMaxVersion.class))
And for the ORDER BY:
criteria.addOrder(Order.asc("id_trunc"));
