Hibernate criteria join table issue

I have 3 entities as you can see below. I want to write a query that fetches products. In this query the parameter is a list of optionValues id.

now my question is how to join these entities?

Product:

 public class Product{
   //other col

    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "product")
    private Set<Attribute> attributeSet = new HashSet<>();
 }

Attribute:

public class Attribute{
  @OneToOne
  @JoinColumn(name = "OPTION_VALUE_ID")
  private OptionValue optionValue;

  @ManyToOne
  @JoinColumn(name="PRODUCT_ID",referencedColumnName="id")
  private Product product;
}

optionValue:

 public class OptionValue{
     @Column(name = "id")
     private Long id;

    @Column(name = "value",updatable = true)
    private String value;
 }

I wrote a query but I think my code is not a good solution.

 Criteria aCriteria = null;
    if (!optionValueList.isEmpty()) {
        aCriteria = currentSession().createCriteria(Attribute.class, "attribute");
        aCriteria.createAlias("attribute.optionValue", "optionValue");
        aCriteria.add(Restrictions.in("optionValue.id", optionValueList));
        attributes = aCriteria.list();
    }
    PagingData<Product> pagingData = new PagingData<>();
    Criteria criteria = currentSession().createCriteria(Product.class, "product");
    if (!attributes.isEmpty()) {
        for (Attribute attribute:attributes){
            longList.add(attribute.getId());
        }
        criteria.createAlias("product.attributeSet", "attribute");
        criteria.add(Restrictions.in("attribute.id", longList));
        criteria.setResultTransformer(Criteria.DISTINCT_ROOT_ENTITY);

    }

an even easier solution would be to use a CriteriaQuery. i did not test the following code, but i think it should work correctly. it requires hibernate 5, but also works with some modifications in hibernate 4:

CriteriaBuilder cb = sessionFactory.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<Product> query = cb.createQuery(Product.class);
Root<Product> r = query.from(Product.class);

In<Object> in = cb.in(r.join("attributeSet ").join("optionValue").get("id"));
for(Object optionValue : optionValueList){
    in.value(optionValue);
}
query.select(r).where(in);

return sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().createQuery(query).getResultList();

i am assuming, that you can access the optionValueList since you posted it in your question.

For the solution with EntityManager i am assuming you already were able to instantiate one.

CriteriaBuilder cb = entityManager.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<Product> query = cb.createQuery(Product.class);
Root<Product> r = query.from(Product.class);

In<Object> in = cb.in(r.join("attributeSet ").join("optionValue").get("id"));
for(Object optionValue : optionValueList){
    in.value(optionValue);
}
query.select(r).where(in);

return entityManager.createQuery(query).getResultList();

if you have an EntityManagerFactory, replace the first entityManager with it and the second one with entityManagerFactory.createEntityManager()

The general idea is to start with creating criteria of objects you want to return, and travel further by adding criteria which is joined. So I start with Parent class, add qualifiers and end up with most nested element, OptionValue.

Code below is untested, but you should get the idea:

Criteria criteria = currentSession()
  .createCriteria(Product.class)
  .createCriteria("attributeSet", "join_between_product_and_attribute");

if (!attributes.isEmpty()) {
  Set<String> attributeIds = new HashSet<>();
  for (Attribute attribute : attributeList) {
    attributeIds.add(attribute.getId());
  }
  criteria.add(Restrictions.in("id", attributeIds));
}

criteria = criteria.createCriteria("optionValue", "join_between_attribute_optionvalue");
if (!optionValueList.isEmpty()) {
  criteria.add(Restrictions.in("id", optionValueList));
}
