java - HibernateTemplate query with list -

hibernate beginner here, basic question.

say have 2 hibernate objects: employee , department in one-to-many relationship. 1 department can have many employees.

i have list of department objects , want to retrieve employees in departments. example, in sql it's easy:

select * employee employee.deptid in (1, 2, 6, 19); 

what correct , proper way in hibernatetemplate find? example i've seen seems hopelessly verbose , involves creating list of departmentids , overriding executefind(). can directly using list<department> instead of creating list of object ids?

//verbose example list employees = gethibernatetemplate().executefind(new hibernatecallback<list>() {     @override     public list doinhibernate(session session) throws hibernateexception, sqlexception {         query query = session.createquery(                 "select employee" +                         "from employee e " +                         "where e.deptid in (:ids) "         );         query.setparameterlist("ids", ids);         return query.list();     } }); 

assuming have department property in employee can run query:

list<departement> departments = ...  list employees = gethibernatetemplate().executefind(new hibernatecallback<list>() {     @override     public list doinhibernate(session session) throws hibernateexception, sqlexception {         query query = session.createquery(                 "select employee" +                         "from employee e " +                         "where e.department in (:departments) "         );         query.setparameterlist("departments", departments);         return query.list();     } });
