How to join 2 tables based on passing a parameter for search operation?

Question

I have 2 entities Addemp and Job.I want to join these 2 tables based on empid .empid is foreign key in job table and primary key in addemp table

here i am doing a search operation based on employee id .i am using criteria builder for search operation

the relationship here is manytoone

 public List<Object[]> findEmployeeList(Integer id)
{
    EntityManager em=null;
    try
    {

        em=getEntityManager();
          CriteriaBuilder cb=em.getCriteriaBuilder();
        CriteriaQuery cq=cb.createQuery(Addemp.class);
        Root<Addemp>rt= cq.from(Addemp.class);
        Join<Addemp,Job> job=rt.join(Addemp_.jobCollection);
        Predicate predicate=cb.equal(rt.get("empId"),id);
        cq.where(predicate);



       /* cq.select(rt.get("firstName"));
        cq.where (cb.equal(rt.<String>get("empId"),id));*/
         Query qry= em.createQuery(cq);
    return qry.getResultList();

Based on the question and JPQL query from the above comments here is the criteria query proposal:

public List<Tuple> findEmployeeList(Integer id)
{
    em = getEntityManager();
    CriteriaBuilder cb = em.getCriteriaBuilder();
    CriteriaQuery<Tuple> cq = cb.createTupleQuery();
    Root<Addemp> empRoot = cq.from(Addemp.class);
    Root<Job> jobRoot = cq.from(Job.class);
    cq.multiselect(empRoot.get("empId").alias("id"), 
                   empRoot.get("firstName").alias("first"),
                   empRoot.get("lastName").alias("last"),
                   jobRoot.get("jobTitle").alias("title"),
                   jobRoot.get("empStatus").alias("status"),
                   jobRoot.get("subUnit").alias("subunit"));
    cq.where(cb.equal(empRoot.get("empId"), id));

    TypedQuery<Tuple> q = em.createQuery(cq);
    return q.getResultList();
}

Next you may want to extract a tuple result:

List<Tuple> tuples = service.findEmployeeList(2);
for (Tuple t : tuples) {
    StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(64)
        .append(t.get("id")).append(", ")
        .append(t.get("first")).append(", ")
        .append(t.get("last")).append(", ")
        .append(t.get("title")).append(", ")
        .append(t.get("status")).append(", ")
        .append(t.get("subunit"));
    System.out.println(builder.toString());
}

I hope it helps.
