[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-2951) Restrictions.eq when passed null, should create a NullRestriction

Restrictions.eq when passed null, should create a NullRestriction ----------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-2951 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2951 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Improvement Components: query-criteria Affects Versions: 3.2.1 Reporter: David Sheldon Priority: Trivial Attachments: hibernate_restrictions.patch, hibernate_restrictions2.patch If you create a Restriction using eq, and pass null to it, then the generated SQL is "where foo = null", which always returns false. The programmer will almost certainly have intended to get "where foo is null". Ideally, we could change: public static SimpleExpression eq(String propertyName, Object value) { return new SimpleExpression(propertyName, value, "="); } to public static SimpleExpression eq(String propertyName, Object value) { if (value == null) { return isNull(propertyName); } else { return new SimpleExpression(propertyName, value, "="); } } Unforunately that wont work, as isNull doesn't return a SimpleExpression.
