How to write Criteria Query that checks for multiple values in same column along with other WHERE conditions?

Please convert the following SQL Query to a Criteria Query——— I have the following table PEOPLE-

ID Name Code
1 Tom A
2 Harry B
3 Tom C
4 John A
5 Sally C
6 Tom B
7 Tom D

The query must return the list of records that satisfies the conditions- Name=’Tom’ AND Code=’A’ or ‘B’ or ‘C’ —-In this Case only two records—–

ID Name Code
1 Tom A
3 Tom C
6 Tom B

The SQL query will be something like this—-

Select * from PEOPLE
where   NAME='TOM' and CODE in ('A' ,'B','C') ;

How do I convert this SQL query to a CriteriaQuery?

I could write the the criteriaQuery till the 1st where condition–

Criteria cr = session.createCriteria(People.class);
         cr.add(Restrictions.eq("name","Tom"));

Answer

You can try this code :

ArrayList<String> values= new ArrayList<String>();
list.add("A");
list.add("B");
list.add("C");

//Your creteria
Criteria cr = session.createCriteria(People.class);

//Array of conditions
List<Criterion> conditions = new ArrayList<Criterion>();

Criterion nameCr= Restrictions.eq("name", "Tom"); 
conditions.add(nameCr);

Criterion codeCr =Restrictions.in("code", values) ;
conditions.add(codeCr);


Conjunction conjunction = Restrictions.conjunction();

for (Criterion criterion : conditions) {
conjunction.add(criterion);
}

cr.add(conjunction);
