title: Convert date to string in Hibernate Criteria
body: <p>Is it possible to perform a request that checks the string representation of a Date instance. For example </p>
  
  <pre><code>Restrictions.like("dateField", "%12%") 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to retrieve dates that either have String 12 in day or 12 in month or 12 in year where "dateField" is an instance of java.util.Date
  Thanks</p>
