5,799 PointsCan't pass the challenge. When I modify code from Treehouse's github it cannot find symbol for .getCriteriaBuilder.
I've spent a lot of time on this, looked at other's questions about it. Tried having it return null. I'm pretty lost.
package com.teamtreehouse.contactmgr.dao;
import com.teamtreehouse.contactmgr.model.Contact;
import java.util.List;
public interface ContactDao {
List<Contact> findAll();
}
package com.teamtreehouse.contactmgr.dao;
import com.teamtreehouse.contactmgr.model.Contact;
import org.hibernate.Hibernate;
import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;
import javax.persistence.criteria.CriteriaBuilder;
import javax.persistence.criteria.CriteriaQuery;
import java.util.List;
@Repository
public class ContactDaoImpl implements ContactDao {
@Autowired
private SessionFactory sessionFactory;
@Override
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public List<Contact> findAll() {
// Open a session
Session session = sessionFactory.openSession();
// DEPRECATED as of Hibernate 5.2.0
List<Contact> contactss = session.createCriteria(Contact.class).list();
// Create CriteriaBuilder
CriteriaBuilder builder = session.getCriteriaBuilder();
// Create CriteriaQuery
CriteriaQuery<Contact> criteria = builder.createQuery(Contact.class);
// Specify criteria root
criteria.from(Contact.class);
// Execute query
List<Contact> contacts = session.createQuery(criteria).getResultList();
// Close session
session.close();
return contacts;
}
}

I struggled with this challenge as well, it turns out to be a little simpler than you think
package com.teamtreehouse.contactmgr.dao;
import com.teamtreehouse.contactmgr.model.Contact;
import java.util.List;
public interface ContactDao {
List<Contact> findAll();
}
And in the ContactDaoImpl you just had to annotate the class and implement the method, but you didn't need to add a behavior:
package com.teamtreehouse.contactmgr.dao;
import com.teamtreehouse.contactmgr.model.Contact;
import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;
import java.util.List;
@Repository
public class ContactDaoImpl implements ContactDao {
@Override
public List<Contact> findAll(){
return null;
}
}
