[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Issue Comment Edited: (HHH-2374) setFetchMode() ignore incorect path

setFetchMode() ignore incorect path ----------------------------------- Key: HHH-2374 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2374 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.2.0.ga Environment: All DB I guess Reporter: Baptiste MATHUS This bug report is in fact a copy of the one that was already present in H2 : http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HB-763 . It does not seem to have changed in H3. When calling setFetchMode("path", FetchMode.JOIN) on a criteria, even if the path is not correct, Hibernate does not complain. Its behaviour seems to be to simply ignore this bad path. I guess this should throw an exception. In fact, the bad thing of ignoring bad path is that if the developer was wrong specifying the path (typo, for example), then the join simply won't happen :-/. I wrote a very simple testcase : public void testFindClients() { Session session = HibernateUtil.currentSession(); session.beginTransaction(); Client c = (Client)session.createCriteria(Client.class).setFetchMode("foo", FetchMode.JOIN) .setFetchMode("foo.bar", FetchMode.JOIN).uniqueResult(); session.getTransaction().commit(); } My Client class has some relationships with other classes, but obviously none named "foo". The code above just issue the following select : select this_.ID as ID0_0_, this_.nom as nom0_0_, this_.prenom as prenom0_0_, this_.age as age0_0_ from Client this_ Thanks again for your great work, guys!
