How to use Criteria in JPA in Spring boot?

I am using JPA and spring boot. I am new to JPA. I want to retrieve an object by passing the value of the function. But in example, it is done through hibernate config. I have not config sessionFactory bean in my classpath. I want to use JPA to retrieve the object. Here in the example, it is:

// Transactional for Hibernate
@Transactional
public class AccountDAOImpl implements AccountDAO {

  @Autowired
private EntityManager entityManager;
    
    @Override
    public Account findAccount(String userName) {
        Session session = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
        Criteria crit = session.createCriteria(Account.class);
        crit.add(Restrictions.eq("userName", userName));
        return (Account) crit.uniqueResult();
    }
}

But I tried in JPA like this:

// Transactional for Hibernate
@Transactional
public class AccountDAOImpl implements AccountDAO {

    @Autowired
    private EntityManager em;

    @Override
    public Account findAccount(String userName) {
      CriteriaBuilder cm= em.getCriteriaBuilder();
      cm.createQuery(Account.class);
        cm.add(Restrictions.eq("userName", userName));
        return (Account) crit.uniqueResult();
    }
}

But it is showing me error,How can i pass the username using JPA?

I also tried as follows:

    TypedQuery<Account> query=em.createQuery("Select a from Account a where a.userName = :userName",Account.class);
      query.setParameter(1,userName);
    Account acc=query.getResultList().get(0);
    return acc;

But how to set username here?

Answer

You can use JPQL like this

@Override
public Account findAccount(String userName) {
  return em.createQuery("select account from Account account where account.username = :username", Account.class)
        .setParameter("username", userName).getSingleResult();
}
