Hi Alen,

OJB will handle joins for you.  Try something like the following.

crt.addEqualTo("id", new Integer(3));
crt.addEqualTo("allProductsForCategory.activate", new Boolean(true));
Query query = new QueryByCriteria(query, crt, true); //DISTINCT
Collection results = broker.getCollectionByQuery(queryByCriteria);

Subject: Need JOIN

Hi All

I have a single Category object.
This Category object contains a collection of Products of type Vector.

Product objects contain a boolean field named 'activate'.

I have a method that returns a single category with all products in it's
category by category PK.
Everything is fine as is but as soon as I try to specify a product
specific
criteria, I get an exception that such column does not exist. Column I
wish
to use as my criteria (WHERE clause) is 'activate'.

I was thinking that the category would be joining onto all applicable
products but that doesn't seem to be the case. It must be executing
separate
sql statements.

I which to use criteria:
query = "<cat-specific-field>.id = 3 AND <prod-specific-field>.activate
= 1"

as follows:
...
crt.addSql(query);
QueryByCriteria queryByCriteria =
    QueryFactory.newQuery(Category.class, crt, true);
Collection results = broker.getCollectionByQuery(queryByCriteria);



my repository <class-descriptor/>'s:
