JPA Method
in jakarta.persistence.criteria.Path

Path<Y> get(
  String attributeName
)


Create a path corresponding to the referenced attribute.

Note: Applications using the string-based API may need to specify the type resulting from the get() operation in order to avoid the use of Path variables.

For example:

 CriteriaQuery<Person> q = cb.createQuery(Person.class);
 Root<Person> p = q.from(Person.class);
 q.select(p)
  .where(cb.isMember("joe",
                     p.<Set<String>>get("nicknames")));

rather than:

 CriteriaQuery<Person> q = cb.createQuery(Person.class);
 Root<Person> p = q.from(Person.class);
 Path<Set<String>> nicknames = p.get("nicknames");
 q.select(p)
  .where(cb.isMember("joe", nicknames));
Parameters:
attributeName - name of the attribute
Return:
path corresponding to the referenced attribute
Throws:
IllegalStateException - if invoked on a path that corresponds to a basic type
IllegalArgumentException - if attribute of the given name does not otherwise exist
