Hibernate Criteria Expression (ge)

In this section, you will learn to use the "ge" method. This is one of the most important method that is used to apply a "greater than or equal" constraint to the named property.

Expressions: The Hibernate Criteria API supports a rich set of comparison operators. Some standard SQL operators are =, <, ?, >, ?. That supports ge() method in Expression class.

In this tutorial, "ge" is used with the Long object (ID). It takes two parameters e.g. ge("property_name",Object val).

Table Name: insurance

ID	insurance_name	invested_amount	investement_date
2	Life Insurance	25000	0000-00-00 00:00:00
1	Givan Dhara	20000	2007-07-30 17:29:05
3	Life Insurance	500	2005-10-15 00:00:00
4	Car Insurance	2500	2005-01-01 00:00:00
5	Dental Insurance	500	2004-01-01 00:00:00
6	Life Insurance	900	2003-01-01 00:00:00
7	Travel Insurance	2000	2005-02-02 00:00:00

Here is the code of the class using "ge" Expression :


package roseindia.tutorial.hibernate;



import java.util.Iterator;

import java.util.List;



import org.hibernate.Criteria;

import org.hibernate.Session;

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;

import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;

import org.hibernate.criterion.Expression;



public class HibernateCriteriaQueryExpressionGe {



  /**

   * @param args

   */

  public static void main(String[] args) {

    // TODO Auto-generated method stub



    Session sess = null;

    try{

      SessionFactory fact = new 

Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();

      sess = fact.openSession();

      Criteria crit = 

sess.createCriteria(Insurance.class);

        crit.add(Expression.ge

("lngInsuranceId",new Long(3)));

        List list = crit.list();

        for(Iterator it = 

list.iterator();it.hasNext();){

          Insurance ins = 

(Insurance)it.next();

          System.out.println(

"Id: " + ins.getLngInsuranceId());

          System.out.println(

"Insurance Name: " + ins.getInsuranceName());

          System.out.println(

"Insurance Amount: " + ins.getInvestementAmount());

          System.out.println(

"Investement Date: " + ins.getInvestementDate());

        }

        sess.clear();

    }

    catch(Exception e){

      System.out.println(e.getMessage());

    }

  }

}
