Criteria: expose whether restrictions have been added ----------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-3188 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3188 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Improvement Components: query-criteria Affects Versions: 3.3 Reporter: Paul Benedict Creating a criteria with no restrictions queries all instances. That's expected and fine. However, I see a lot of business services which will translate a search DTO into a Criteria instance, and there's no clean way of determining when the criteria actually has restrictions attached. Example: Criteria crit = ...createCriteria(...); if (dto.getComponent2() != null) { // translate properties } if (dto.getComponent2() != null) { // translate properties } if (crit.isRestricted() { // Proposal // do real search } else { return; } -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
