Hello,
When you form a Hibernate Disjunction criteria, but don't add
any
clauses to it, you get a criteria that matches everything.
Generally, when you perform a reduction over an empty list, the
expected result is the identity element for the reduction. For
example, the sum of the empty list is 0, the product of the empty list
is 1, the conjunction of the empty list is true, and the disjunction
of the empty list is false.
You're right of course, Hibernate shouldn't
stray away from ordinary
logic :) I would qualify it as a bug.
(that's only my opinion of course)
In fact, I have to fix this in Envers too, as after changing the
versions-query implementation not to use criteria, this will cause a
run-time exception - so thanks :).
