Using EntityQuery Restrictions in Code

[paradigmza]

Hi,

I would like to know the proper way to use seam restriction in the code.

I used to have a way that worked in Seam 1.1.0 but it stopped working in 1.1.1 (hence must be the incorrect way to use them)

List<String> restrictions = new ArrayList<String>();
restrictions.add("username like #{'" + value + "%'}");
EntityQuery nameList = new MyUserList();
nameList.setRestrictions(restrictions);
Long i = nameList.getResultCount();
log.info("search.searchUserNames() called with count: #0", i);

and

List<String> restrictions = new ArrayList<String>();
restrictions.add("name like #{'" + value + "%'}");
EntityQuery clientList = new MyClientList();
clientList.setRestrictions(restrictions);
Long i = clientList.getResultCount();
log.info("search.searchClients() called with count: #0", i);

With the upgrade to Seam 1.1.1 the resultCount is every row in the table, so the restriction is not being used.

the value comes from

<h:inputText id="value" required="true" value="#{search.value}" />

I thought that it might have been the actual query so I changed it to

restrictions.add("username like concat(#{search.value},'%') ");

Any Help?
Thanks
Sean.

restrictions.add("username like concat(#{search.value},'%')");

should work.

Thanks Gavin,

I found my problem, the new seam gen, generates

@Override
public List<String> getRestrictions() {
 return Arrays.asList(RESTRICTIONS);
}

Which was removing all of my "custom" restrictions.
