iterate array to create hibernate criteria statement

hibernate, java

Solution

Yes, you can use Disjunction in your loop:

Disjunction disjunction = Restrictions.disjunction();
for(Iterator iterator = integerArray.iterator; iterator.hasNext()){
    disjunction.add(yourRestriction); //add your restirction here
}
criteria.add(disjunction );

Problem

let say my array has 3 integer object value= 3,4,5 i would need to create hibernate criteria that look like below ``` criteria.add(Restrictions.and(Restrictions.not(Restrictions.eq( "stepId", new Integer(3))), Restrictions.and(Restrictions .not(Restrictions.eq("stepId", new Integer(4))), Restrictions .not(Restrictions.eq("stepId", new Integer(5)))))); ``` the above criteria is created manually, i wonder can automate this through iteration ``` for(Iterator iterator = integerArray.iterator; iterator.hasNext()){ // create the criteria above } ```
