list.add(build.equal(bondRoot.get(Bond_.writingCompanyCode),dtlRoot.get(ArPstdDtl_.companycd ).as(String.class)));
but am getting the following error:
Caused by: org.apache.openjpa.persistence.ArgumentException: No metadata was found for type "class java.lang.String". The class is not enhanced.
Could someone help me out on this ??
Changing type from BigDecimal to String needs conversion, not a cast. Method as cannot convert from type to other - it is purely for typecasting, as documented:
Perform a typecast upon the expression, returning a new expression object. This method does not cause type conversion: the runtime type is not changed. Warning: may result in a runtime failure.
Criteria API does not offer conversion from BigDecimal to String. Database vendor specific functions can be used via CriteriaBuilder.function.
