We are using a 3rd party tool for displaying table lists on screen (specifically Vaadin CriteriaContainer though it probably doesn't matter here). It uses CriteriaQueries for filtering data in the table.
One of the use cases is to delete all items that match the filter (which is basically a CriteriaQuery). I'm looking for the cleanest way in OpenJPA to convert a CriteriaQuery (SELECT) to a DELETE. JPA 2.1 introduces this functionality but obviously that is some way off in the future. So one solution I'm thinking about is to get the QueryImpl from the typed query. ie. org.apache.openjpa.persistence.QueryImpl query = typedQuery.unwrap(org.apache.openjpa.persistence.QueryImpl.class); Then to get the Select query and do wrap in a delete and bind the parameters etc to perform the delete. Would this work? Is there a neater way to do this? ie. using QueryImpl, or TypedQuery etc.? Thanks for any advice! -- View this message in context: http://openjpa.208410.n2.nabble.com/Deleting-based-on-CriteriaQuery-tp7582729.html Sent from the OpenJPA Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
