Java CriteriaBuilder Join - cannot be solved or is not a field

I'm trying to do a select using a join in CriteriaBuilder, but I'm getting this error in Eclipse. How can I fix it?

Hibernate version: hibernate-jpa-2.0-api<br />

Well, on Metamodels there are basically three approaches to use:

Using IDE based metamodel generation tools
Using Static Canonical Metamodel Classes
Using em.getMetamodel() API i.e. the one you are using.

The solution I am proposing for you to use which is closer to what you were doing is on Point 3.

Point 3 Solution : Replace the below code :

    Metamodel m = em.getMetamodel();
    EntityType<Notificacao> Notificacao_ = m.entity(Notificacao.class);
    Root<Notificacao> myObj = cq.from(Notificacao_);
    Join<Notificacao, Fonte> fontes = myObj.join(Notificacao_.fonte); // HERE I'M GETTING THE ERROR

With new code :

    Metamodel m = em.getMetamodel();
    EntityType<Notificacao> notificacao_ = m.entity(Notificacao.class);
    Root<Notificacao> myObj = cq.from(notificacao_);
    Join<Notificacao, Fonte> fontes = myObj.join(notificacao_.getSingularAttribute("fonte",Fonte.class));

Points 1 & 2 Solutions Please note the Notificacao_ must be a class either static or generated and must never be an instance of em.getMetamodel(). Also note in your case before Notificacao_ was a variable instead of a class as shown:

EntityType<Notificacao> Notificacao_ = m.entity(Notificacao.class);

If you need more info, let me know please.
