annotation to filter results of a @OneToMany association

It is not supported by JPA but if you are using hibernate as JPA provider then you can use annotation @FilterDef and @Filter.

Hibernate Core Reference Documentation

Hibernate3 has the ability to pre-define filter criteria and attach those filters at both a class level and a collection level. A filter criteria allows you to define a restriction clause similar to the existing "where" attribute available on the class and various collection elements. These filter conditions, however, can be parameterized. The application can then decide at runtime whether certain filters should be enabled and what their parameter values should be. Filters can be used like database views, but they are parameterized inside the application.

Exemple

@Entity
public class A implements Serializable{
    @Id
    @Column(name = "REF")
    private int ref;

    @OneToMany
    @JoinColumn(name = "A_REF", referencedColumnName = "REF")   
    @Filter(name="test")
    private Set<B> bs;
}

@Entity
@FilterDef(name="test", defaultCondition="other = 123")
public class B implements Serializable{
    @Id
    @Column(name = "A_REF")
    private int aRef;

    @Id
    @Column(name = "OTHER")
    private int other;
}

Session session = entityManager.unwrap(Session.class);
session.enableFilter("test");
A a = entityManager.find(A.class, new Integer(0))
a.getb().size() //Only contains b that are equals to 123

with JPA 1 you can use the provided solution but change unwrap to getDelegate to be like that

Session session = (Session)entityManager.getDelegate();

and it's going to work.

If I am understanding the question right, there is a way to do this with javax.persistence annotations (I used this on a ManyToOne myself, and tailored the answer from here):

@JoinColumns({
    @JoinColumn(name = "A_REF", referencedColumnName = "REF"),
    @JoinColumn(name = "B_TABLE_NAME.OTHER", referencedColumnName = "'123'")})
@OneToMany
private Set<B> bs;

Note the single quotes in the referencedColumnName, this is the value you are looking for.

Another solution is to use Hibernate's @Where: https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/5.4/userguide/html_single/Hibernate_User_Guide.html#pc-where

    @OneToMany
    @JoinColumn(name = "A_REF", referencedName = "REF")
    @Where(clause = "other = 123")
    private Set<B> bs;
