Hi there, I attached a Spring/Hibernate demo application hibernate-many-to-many-subselect.zip. Unfortunately, the hibernate-test-case-templates-master.zip did not feel suitable for me, because it does not use Spring at all. I am also not able to show a JUnit testcase atm, but honestly I did not scan the existing tests for Spring/Hibernate to check how it's done there. Please check the example provided by me, and let me know if this works for you, otherwise I am happy to modify the example to whatever if comfortable for you. Thank you! Thomas
