[hibernate-dev] DTO Projection support for native queries?

Hi all, I'm particularly interested in the usecase when you want to have a DTO projection from a native query. Currently as far as I know this is not supported through the JPA API. If I say entityManager.createNativeQuery("...", SomeDTO.class) Hibernate says SomeDTO is not an entity, at least that's what I remember. Now I implemented the support for the Tuple type for native queries, so implementing the support for DTO projections shouldn't be an issue. Is there any reason why this is not supported yet? Thanks in advance! Best, Arnold
