if for example want to define filter like this @org.hibernate.annotations.FilterDef( name = "accessLevelFilter2", parameters = {(a)org.hibernate.annotations.ParamDef(name = "currentAccessLevel", type="integer")} ) @org.hibernate.annotations.Filter( name = "accessLevelFilter2", condition = "(select level from registration where id=this.id)=:currentAccessLevel" ) this should reference to the entity.I couldn't get it to work.. how this could be done?
