title: Mix HQL and Criteria API in Hibernate
body: <p>Is it possible to mix HQL and the Criteria API?</p>
  
  <p>I have a <code>String</code> that contains a where condition in HQL and a <code>Criteria</code> that is already built and got from somewhere else. I wonder if I can add the where condition <code>String</code> to <code>Criteria.add()</code>. The where condition could be multiple conditions "and-ed"/"or-ed" together.</p>
  
  <p>Can I do this without parsing the where condition <code>String</code>?</p>
