I have a situation where in my where clause I have single predicate and expression. And both needs to be ANDed in where clause:
Expression<String> col1 = tableEntity.get("col1");
Expression<String> regExpr = criteriaBuilder.literal("\\.\\d+$");
Expression<Boolean> regExprLike = criteriaBuilder.function("regexp_like", Boolean.class, col, regExpr);
Expression<TableEntity> col2= tableEntity.get("col2");
Predicate predicateNull = criteriaBuilder.isNull(col2);
createQuery.where(cb.and(predicateNull));
createQuery.where(regExprLike);
In this case I am not able to do something like: createQuery.where(predicateNull, regExprLike);
I tried using CriteriaBuilder's isTrue() method:
Predicate predicateNull = criteriaBuilder.isNull(col2);
Predicate predicateTrue = criteriaBuilder.isTrue(regExprLike);
createQuery.where(predicateNull, predicateTrue);
But it didnt help.
CriteriaQuery either allows predicates or expressions, but not both, in where clause. any idea how can I use both, predicates and expression in QueryCriteria's where clause?
Update 10 Oct 2014: As suggested by Chris, I tried to use:
createQuery.where(predicateNull, regExprLike);
But my query fails with exception:
Caused by: org.jboss.arquillian.test.spi.ArquillianProxyException: org.hibernate.hql.internal.ast.QuerySyntaxException : unexpected AST node: ( near line 1, column 311 [select coalesce(substring(generatedAlias0.col1,0,(locate(regexp_substr(generatedAlias0.col1, :param0),
generatedAlias0.col1)-1)), generatedAlias0.col1), generatedAlias0.col1
from com.temp.TableEntity as generatedAlias0
where (generatedAlias0.col2 is null ) and ( regexp_like(generatedAlias0.col1, :param1))] [Proxied because : Original exception not deserilizable, ClassNotFoundException]
My code looks like:
CriteriaBuilder criteriaBuilder = entityManager.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<Object[]> createQuery = criteriaBuilder.createQuery(Object[].class);
Root<TableEntity> tableEntity = createQuery.from(TableEntity.class);
Expression<String> path = tableEntity.get("col1");
Expression<String> regExpr = criteriaBuilder.literal("\\.\\d+$");
Expression<String> regExprSubStr = criteriaBuilder.function("regexp_substr", String.class, path, regExpr);
Expression<Boolean> regExprLike = criteriaBuilder.function("regexp_like", Boolean.class, path, regExpr);
Expression<Integer> l3 = criteriaBuilder.locate(path, regExprSubStr);
Expression<Integer> minusOne = criteriaBuilder.literal(1);
Expression<Integer> l3Sub1 = criteriaBuilder.diff(l3, minusOne);
Expression<Integer> zeroIndex = criteriaBuilder.literal(0);
Expression<String> s3 = criteriaBuilder.substring(path, zeroIndex, l3Sub1);
Expression<TableEntity> col1 = tableEntity.get("col1");
Expression<TableEntity> col2 = tableEntity.get("col2");
Expression<String> coalesceExpr = criteriaBuilder.coalesce(s3, path);
createQuery.multiselect(coalesceExpr, col1);
Predicate predicateNull = criteriaBuilder.isNull(col2);
createQuery.where(criteriaBuilder.and(predicateNull, regExprLike));
String query = entityManager.createQuery(createQuery).unwrap(org.hibernate.Query.class).getQueryString();
I think your problem is oracle does not classify 'regexp_like' as a function. To make it work, you have to extend Oracle dialect with new registered function:
public class Oracle12cExtendedDialect extends Oracle12cDialect {
public Oracle12cExtendedDialect() {
super();
registerFunction(
"regexp_like", new SQLFunctionTemplate(StandardBasicTypes.BOOLEAN,
"(case when (regexp_like(?1, ?2)) then 1 else 0 end)")
);
}
}
and then you can change your where clause:
createQuery.where(criteriaBuilder.and(predicateNull, criteriaBuilder.equal(regExprLike, 1)));
Of course, your have to register your new dialect in persistence.xml
<property name="hibernate.dialect" value="path.to.your.dialect.class.Oracle12cExtendedDialect" />
