Copy the needed relation-property to your entity. Mark as readonly with insertable = false, updatable = false.

@ManyToOne
@JoinColumn(name = "column_name", insertable = false, updatable = false)
private EntityX entityX;

now you can directy create the alias, instead of using the composite id property.

criteria.createCriteria("entity.entityX", "entityX")
