Get record with max id, using Hibernate Criteria

You can use a DetachedCriteria to express a subquery, something like this:

DetachedCriteria maxId = DetachedCriteria.forClass(Foo.class)
    .setProjection( Projections.max("id") );
session.createCriteria(Foo.class)
    .add( Property.forName("id").eq(maxId) )
    .list();
