Marco Belladelli ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=637b480... ) *commented* on HHH-16951 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16951?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNWUxMj... ) Re: HQL no longer deals with empty collections as bind values for nullness predicates in junction with other predicates ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16951?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNWUxMj... ) This pattern is no longer allowed, you should avoid it and instead use Criteria API for conditional predicates. Please refer to Christian Beikov ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) 's comment in https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-15968 for more information.
