[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Closed: (HHH-4590) CASTs from CriteriaBuilder.toXXX methods still need to be fleshed out

CASTs from CriteriaBuilder.toXXX methods still need to be fleshed out --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-4590 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-4590 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: entity-manager, query-criteria, query-hql Reporter: Steve Ebersole Assignee: Steve Ebersole Fix For: 3.5.0-Beta-3 Time Spent: 30 minutes Remaining Estimate: 0 minutes The difficulty here is in terms of SELECT clause. If the casts are to be allowed in the SELECT clause then we need to dynamically account for the underlying org.hibernate.type.Type to use to read the results. Problematic because criteria is supposed to mirror the capabilities of the "query language", but there is no mention of any such functionality in the "query language" section.
