Interface CriteriaUpdate<T>

  • Type Parameters:
    T - the entity type that is the target of the update
    All Superinterfaces:
    CommonAbstractCriteria
    public interface CriteriaUpdate<T>
extends CommonAbstractCriteria
    The CriteriaUpdate interface defines functionality for performing bulk update operations using the Criteria API.

    Criteria API bulk update operations map directly to database update operations, bypassing any optimistic locking checks. Portable applications using bulk update operations must manually update the value of the version column, if desired, and/or manually validate the value of the version column. The persistence context is not synchronized with the result of the bulk update.

    A CriteriaUpdate object must have a single root.

    • Method Detail

      • from

        Root<T> from​(java.lang.Class<T> entityClass)
        Create and add a query root corresponding to the entity that is the target of the update. A CriteriaUpdate object has a single root, the entity that is being updated.
        Parameters:
        entityClass - the entity class
        Returns:
        query root corresponding to the given entity

      • from

        Root<T> from​(EntityType<T> entity)
        Create and add a query root corresponding to the entity that is the target of the update. A CriteriaUpdate object has a single root, the entity that is being updated.
        Parameters:
        entity - metamodel entity representing the entity of type X
        Returns:
        query root corresponding to the given entity

      • getRoot

        Root<T> getRoot()
        Return the query root.
        Returns:
        the query root

      • where

        CriteriaUpdate<T> where​(Expression<java.lang.Boolean> restriction)
        Modify the update query to restrict the target of the update according to the specified boolean expression. Replaces the previously added restriction(s), if any.
        Parameters:
        restriction - a simple or compound boolean expression
        Returns:
        the modified update query

      • where

        CriteriaUpdate<T> where​(Predicate... restrictions)
        Modify the update query to restrict the target of the update according to the conjunction of the specified restriction predicates. Replaces the previously added restriction(s), if any. If no restrictions are specified, any previously added restrictions are simply removed.
        Parameters:
        restrictions - zero or more restriction predicates
