T - the type of the resultpublic interface AbstractQuery<T> extends CommonAbstractCriteria
AbstractQuery interface defines functionality that is common
 to both top-level queries and subqueries.
 It is not intended to be used directly in query construction.
 All queries must have: a set of root entities (which may in turn own joins).
All queries may have: a conjunction of restrictions.
| Modifier and Type | Method and Description | 
|---|---|
AbstractQuery<T> | 
distinct(boolean distinct)
Specify whether duplicate query results will be eliminated. 
 | 
<X> Root<X> | 
from(Class<X> entityClass)
Create and add a query root corresponding to the given entity,
 forming a cartesian product with any existing roots. 
 | 
<X> Root<X> | 
from(EntityType<X> entity)
Create and add a query root corresponding to the given entity,
 forming a cartesian product with any existing roots. 
 | 
List<Expression<?>> | 
getGroupList()
Return a list of the grouping expressions. 
 | 
Predicate | 
getGroupRestriction()
Return the predicate that corresponds to the restriction(s)
 over the grouping items, or null if no restrictions have 
 been specified. 
 | 
Class<T> | 
getResultType()
Return the result type of the query or subquery. 
 | 
Set<Root<?>> | 
getRoots()
Return the query roots. 
 | 
Selection<T> | 
getSelection()
Return the selection of the query, or null if no selection
  has been set. 
 | 
AbstractQuery<T> | 
groupBy(Expression<?>... grouping)
Specify the expressions that are used to form groups over
 the query results. 
 | 
AbstractQuery<T> | 
groupBy(List<Expression<?>> grouping)
Specify the expressions that are used to form groups over
 the query results. 
 | 
AbstractQuery<T> | 
having(Expression<Boolean> restriction)
Specify a restriction over the groups of the query. 
 | 
AbstractQuery<T> | 
having(Predicate... restrictions)
Specify restrictions over the groups of the query
 according the conjunction of the specified restriction 
 predicates. 
 | 
boolean | 
isDistinct()
Return whether duplicate query results must be eliminated or
 retained. 
 | 
AbstractQuery<T> | 
where(Expression<Boolean> restriction)
Modify the query to restrict the query results according
 to the specified boolean expression. 
 | 
AbstractQuery<T> | 
where(Predicate... restrictions)
Modify the query to restrict the query results according 
 to the conjunction of the specified restriction predicates.

getRestriction, subquery<X> Root<X> from(Class<X> entityClass)
entityClass - the entity class<X> Root<X> from(EntityType<X> entity)
entity - metamodel entity representing the entity
                of type XAbstractQuery<T> where(Expression<Boolean> restriction)
restriction - a simple or compound boolean expressionAbstractQuery<T> where(Predicate... restrictions)
restrictions - zero or more restriction predicatesAbstractQuery<T> groupBy(Expression<?>... grouping)
grouping - zero or more grouping expressionsAbstractQuery<T> groupBy(List<Expression<?>> grouping)
grouping - list of zero or more grouping expressionsAbstractQuery<T> having(Expression<Boolean> restriction)
restriction - a simple or compound boolean expressionAbstractQuery<T> having(Predicate... restrictions)
restrictions - zero or more restriction predicatesAbstractQuery<T> distinct(boolean distinct)
distinct - boolean value specifying whether duplicate
        results must be eliminated from the query result or
        whether they must be retainedSet<Root<?>> getRoots()
CriteriaQuery or Subquery itself,
 including any subquery roots defined as a result of
 correlation. Returns empty set if no roots have been defined.
 Modifications to the set do not affect the query.Selection<T> getSelection()
List<Expression<?>> getGroupList()
Predicate getGroupRestriction()
boolean isDistinct()
Class<T> getResultType()
createQuery or subquery method, that
 type will be returned.  If the query was created using the
 createTupleQuery method, the result type is
 Tuple.  Otherwise, the result type is
