Add outer join support for aliases on DetachedCriteria ------------------------------------------------------ Key: HHH-1696 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1696 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Improvement Components: query-criteria Affects Versions: 3.1.3, 3.2.0 cr1 Environment: Hibernate 3.1, SQLServer2000 Reporter: Mark Brocato Attachments: HHH-1696.patch Recently, support for aliasing via an outer join was added to the Criteria class. The method createAlias(String associationPath, String alias, int joinType) , however, is not defined for DetachedCriteria. Adding this functionality would be extremely helpful for applications that expose detached criteria as their query api, and also for subqueries.
