Could you tell me is possible to search by hibernate criteria on bidirectional direction with only unidirectional associations? For examle: I have two class:
Box {
Long id;
Set parcels;
Integer status;
// other properites
}
Parcel {
Long id;
// other properties
}
I've got associations one-to-many in class Box to class Parcel and I search Boxes with parameters from Parcel and very often use parcels in Box, so I use eager loading.
But one time I need (to complicated criteria) many-to-one associations Box class in Parcel class (I have to search Parcel by status in box), but only in search, every other cases I don't need pointer to Box when I get Parcel from database.
Can I search in that situations without many-to-one associations in Parcel to Box?
