Build Error - After upgrade to Spring boot 3 Getting Unresolved reference for path in org.hibernate.query.criteria.internal.path.SingularAttributePath

Spring Boot 3.0 which comes with Hibernate 6 by default. In Hibernate 6, the SingularAttributePath is not typically used directly. Instead, you interact with the path expressions through Root, Join, or Path objects. You should use Path or Expression instead when working with a singular attribute (like a simple property on an entity).

For example,

CriteriaBuilder cb = session.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<Person> query = cb.createQuery(Person.class);
Root<Person> root = query.from(Person.class);

// Correct approach for getting a singular attribute path in Hibernate 6
Path<String> namePath = root.get("name");

query.select(root).where(cb.equal(namePath, "John Doe"));

List<Person> resultList = session.createQuery(query).getResultList();
