Hi, Although I've gotten feedback that this won't necessarily be included as-is, or against current versions etc., since I have to update it as I track newer Hibernate core versions (we use this modification internally), I figure it might be of use or interest to the dev. community. This is the updated patch, against 3.3.1GA Changes from last time include: * rediffed against 3.3.1 * change to slf4j for logging * fix the crude hack in CriteriaJoinWalker to what seems to be the correct implementation. The issue here is complicated and not-at-all understood by me completely. The method in question, generateTableAlias, seems to do (at least) two things in the CriteriaJoinWalker, one of which is to update the internal 'userAlias' list based on whether the Joinable 'consumesEntityAlias'. This behavior needed to remain completely unmodified, which my previous patch did not do. However, the reason I needed to modify this is that some Joinables which DO NOT 'conumeEntityAlias' still need to provide an SQL alias for the table. Deciding which ones, exactly, need to do this was complicated, and I'm not sure this is currently correct. However, it now passes the test suite, which it didn't before.
