JPA 2 Remote Criteria?

Question

Is there any way that criteria for queries can be built on a remote (Swing/SWT etc) client? We've been using the DetachedCriteria functionality in Hibernate for quite some time, but would like to use standard JPA 2.

If not, could the code from hibernate be re-factored to create the remote API? Or is this something that might come along in JPA 2.1?

"is this something that might come along in JPA 2.1?" - this is better asked to the persons involved in working on the relevant JSR. I'm afraid, you might not get an answer to that part of the question. – Zilpah

Even as of today, I still can't bet an answer. I might have to resort to praying. – Birch
