Seam, EntityManager and Criteria

[ccanning]

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but here it is. I have noticed that with 1.1 B1 documentation, you can combine some hibernate specific features (filters) with the EntityManager. I was wondering if it is possible to use Hibernate Criteria based queries with the EJB3 paradigm? If so, how would one go about doing it. I have a need to dynamically build queries and this would be very beneficial.

Yes. Just get the Hibernate Session from the EntityManager.

....
@In(create=true) EntityManager em;
...
public void find() {
 Session s = (Session) smsDatabase.getDelegate();
...
}
...
}

Sorry, I didn't proof that well.

...
@In(create=true) EntityManager em;
...
public void find() {
 Session s = (Session) em.getDelegate();
...
}
...
