[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-2802) Support HQL style order by (JPA @OrderBy)

[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2802?page=c... ] Steve Ebersole commented on HHH-2802: ------------------------------------- According to section 9.1.35 OrderBy Annotation of the 2.0 edr spec: <quote> A property or field name specified as an orderby_item must correspond to a basic persistent property or field of the associated class or embedded class within it. The properties or fields used in the ordering must correspond to columns for which comparison operators are supported. The dot (".") notation is used to refer to an attribute within an embedded attribute. The value of each identifier used with the dot notation is the name of the respective embedded field or property. </quote> So basically only need to be concerned with references to value-type properties. If a property is named with DOT syntax, that dereference should be dereferencing a component to a value-type property of the component. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
