    • select

      public CriteriaQuery<T> select(Selection<? extends T> selection)
      Specify the item that is to be returned in the query result. Replaces the previously specified selection, if any.
      Specified by:
      select in interface CriteriaQuery<T>
      Parameters:
      selection - selection specifying the item that is to be returned in the query result
      Returns:
      the modified query

    • multiselect

      public CriteriaQuery<T> multiselect(Selection<?>... selections)
      Specify the items that are to be returned in the query result. Replaces the previously specified selection(s), if any. The type of the result of the query execution depends on the specification of the criteria query object as well as the arguments to the multiselect method as follows: If the type of the criteria query is CriteriaQuery<Tuple>, a Tuple object corresponding to the arguments of the multiselect method will be instantiated and returned for each row that results from the query execution. If the type of the criteria query is CriteriaQuery<X> for some user-defined class X, then the arguments to the multiselect method will be passed to the X constructor and an instance of type X will be returned for each row. The IllegalStateException will be thrown if a constructor for the given argument types does not exist. If the type of the criteria query is CriteriaQuery<X[]> for some class X, an instance of type X[] will be returned for each row. The elements of the array will correspond to the arguments of the multiselect method. The IllegalStateException will be thrown if the arguments to the multiselect method are not of type X. If the type of the criteria query is CriteriaQuery<Object>, and only a single argument is passed to the multiselect method, an instance of type Object will be returned for each row. If the type of the criteria query is CriteriaQuery<Object>, and more than one argument is passed to the multiselect method, an instance of type Object[] will be instantiated and returned for each row. The elements of the array will correspond to the arguments to the multiselect method.
      Specified by:
      multiselect in interface CriteriaQuery<T>
      Parameters:
      selections - expressions specifying the items that are to be returned in the query result
      Returns:
      the modified query

    • multiselect

      public CriteriaQuery<T> multiselect(List<Selection<?>> selectionList)
      Specify the items that are to be returned in the query result. Replaces the previously specified selection(s), if any. The type of the result of the query execution depends on the specification of the criteria query object as well as the arguments to the multiselect method as follows: If the type of the criteria query is CriteriaQuery<Tuple>, a Tuple object corresponding to the items in the selection list passed to the multiselect method will be instantiated and returned for each row that results from the query execution. If the type of the criteria query is CriteriaQuery<X> for some user-defined class X, then the items in the selection list passed to the multiselect method will be passed to the X constructor and an instance of type X will be returned for each row. The IllegalStateException will be thrown if a constructor for the given argument types does not exist. If the type of the criteria query is CriteriaQuery<X[]> for some class X, an instance of type X[] will be returned for each row. The elements of the array will correspond to the items in the selection list passed to the multiselect method. The IllegalStateException will be thrown if the elements in the selection list passed to the multiselect method are not of type X. If the type of the criteria query is CriteriaQuery<Object>, and the selection list passed to the multiselect method contains only a single item, an instance of type Object will be returned for each row. If the type of the criteria query is CriteriaQuery<Object>, and the selection list passed to the multiselect method contains more than one item, an instance of type Object[] will be instantiated and returned for each row. The elements of the array will correspond to the items in the selection list passed to the multiselect method.

      Parameters:
      selectionList - list of expressions specifying the items that to be are returned in the query result
