Sorry, you are right of course. I misconstructed the example.
The correct code to produce the join would then be
Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
criteria.addJoin(BookPeer.AUTHOR_ID, AuthorPeer.AUTHOR_ID);
String columnName = AuthorPeer.AUTHOR_ID;
// column name contains now "AUTHOR.AUTHOR_ID"
columnName = columnName.substring(AuthorPeer.TABLE_NAME.length() + 1,
columnName.length());
// column name contains now "AUTHOR_ID"
criteria.addJoin("a." + columnName, BookPeer.SECOND_AUTHOR_ID);
criteria.addAlias("a", AuthorPeer.TABLE_NAME);
But the question remains whether there is a shorter way to construct the
alias column name than the lines
String columnName = AuthorPeer.AUTHOR_ID;
columnName = columnName.substring(AuthorPeer.TABLE_NAME.length() + 1,
columnName.length());
other than using the explicit String "AUTHOR_ID"
