Criteria Api Vs QueryDsl Vs JPA metamodel










2















I am a bit confused about these three concepts.



  • Criteria API

  • Query Dsl

  • Jpa 2.0 meta model

From what I have read, One of the major benifits of using QueryDsl or JPA metamodel is type safety.

But I can achieve type safety even with Criteria API's. (I am using JPA with eclipselink)



javax.persistence.EntityManager has two variants



public Query createQuery(String sqlString); 
public <T> TypedQuery<T> createQuery(CriteriaQuery<T> criteriaQuery);


I agree with first version where I pass sql as string I don't get type safety. But with the second version I get type safety. Or am I missing something here? Can someone explain with an example how using criteria is not type safe.



What is the difference between QueryDsl and JPA static meta model ?

          You can use JPA meta model in Criteria API for type safety, but criteria api is quite complicated comparing to QueryDSL
