Querying with embeddable objects

Question

Hi,
I have an entity made of a couple of embeddable objects. Let's say a Customer has an Address.
@Entity
public class Customer implements Serializable {
private long id;
@Embedded
private Address address;
//getters and setters
@Embeddable
public class Address implements Serializable {
private String street;
private String number;
//getters and setters
When I query the entity using the embeddable object, the resulting sql is made with an AND condition like
select * from CUSTOMER WHERE (STREET=? AND NUMBER=?)
How do I change this, so the query uses and OR condition?

Think about it logically. It just doesn't make sense what you are asking. Let me translate the query to human language.
select c from Customer c where c.address = :addressTranslated:
select all customers with exactly this address.
That is not what you want, you want to ask this:
select all customers where either the street is X or the housenumber is Y
Completely different query.
