How to change this function to return list base on username col

[JohnTheDroider]

I had the following code sample that returns a list of friends from my database use Hibernate and it works get but I know change the function to pass in String which is the user. How can I change the following code to return all friends that username match the String i pass in?

    public List<Friend> listFriends() 
    {
        return (List<Friend>) sessionFactory.getCurrentSession()
        .createCriteria(Friend.class).list();
    }

I suggest a read of the hibernate reference guide and googling a tutorial... You want to find something on criteria queries.
