[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-3872) Criteria on alias causes partial collection materialization

Criteria on alias causes partial collection materialization ----------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-3872 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3872 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: query-criteria Affects Versions: 3.3.0.CR1 Reporter: Adrian Moos I have a parent entity with a one-to-many assocation to a child entity: <hibernate-mapping package="ch.bedag.a11.ccinfo.business.entity" default-lazy="false"> <class name="Parent" table="PARENT"> <id name="id" type="long" column="ID" unsaved-value="null"> <generator class="sequence"> <param name="sequence">SEQ_T_PARENT</param> </generator> </id> <set name="children" cascade="all-delete-orphan" inverse="true"> <key column="PARENT_ID" foreign-key="CHILD_FK1"/> <one-to-many class="Child"/> </set> </class> <class name="Child" <id name="id" type="long" column="ID" unsaved-value="null"> <generator class="sequence"> <param name="sequence">SEQ_T_CHILD</param> </generator> </id> <property name="businessKey" column="BUSINESSKEY" not-null="true"/> </class> </hibernate-mapping> I then do: Criteria parentCriteria = aSession.createCriteria(Parent.class); parentCriteria.createAlias("children", "c", CriteriaSpecification.LEFT_JOIN); parentCriteria.setResultTransformer(CriteriaSpecification.DISTINCT_ROOT_ENTITY); parentCriteria.add(Restrictions.eq("c.businessKey", 123456789)); List parents = parentCriteria.list(); Expected behaviour: Since each parent in parents is a materialized entity, I'd expect its children set to contain all its children. Observed behaviour: It contains only children with matching business key. Is my expectation correct?
