I agree but this used to work before. We so far could not update to a newer version of hibernate. Now we figured other bugs such HHH-11133 Closed that force us to update. Finally we are locked out by hibernate as there is no constellation left that works for our app. Changing things in an incompatible manner is always a tricky impact. I am happy that Hibernate is actively doing cleanups and refactorings to remain future proof. However, such problems can turn out as blockers for your users and if they then are lowest prio as this is unspecified it gets tricky to proceed. Any hints or workarounds are highly appreciated.
