Gavin King ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) *commented* on HHH-16715 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16715?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNWQyN2... ) Re: accept value() or element() in place of elements() and key() or index() in place of indices() ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16715?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNWQyN2... ) Conclusion: I did not make the suggested change discussed above, but I did a lot of work to explain this stuff in the documentation, and I hope it’s now clear. I also, for consistency, let you write keys() and values() which it’s a Map. This issue can be closed.
