Remarks

This method allows you to evaluate a specific expression against the current instance of the persistent object.

In the expression parameter, you can use numerous functions and arithmetic and logic operators. These are the same functions and operators that are encapsulated by the CriteriaOperator class’ descendants. For instance, if a persistent object contains fields ‘A’ and ‘B’ you can use the “(A+B)*(A+B)” expression to calculate the sum of these fields squared.
