Limit resultset in Hibernate

To limit the number of records/results returned by the search criteria(notice we are not using DetachedCriteria): 

Criteria criteria = getSession().createCriteria(MyClass.class);

criteria.setMaxResults(100);

List< MyClass > list = criteria.list();

if (list != null && list.size() > 0)

{

    log.warn("Found " + list.size() + " Impressions");

}

return list;
