Thanks, I will try with the NamedQuery example. It sounds like exactly what I was looking for.
I don't know if the constant for a the fetch query is a regular specification. I can also remember exactly the problem you describe with a constants of type Boolean which actually really seems to be impossible (at least in the past). In later versions of Hibernate they have implemented some extend to the official JPA Annotations where you can use something like a @Where-Annotation targeting my described use-case scenario.
