DetachedCriteria does not create assocation criteria with alias --------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-2653 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2653 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Bug Components: query-criteria Affects Versions: 3.2.4.sp1 Reporter: Jörg Heinicke It's known that ordering on association properties in the criteria API only works with aliases (http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?t=972241 and countless other threads, HHH-2629). Unfortunately, you can't even use the aliases with DetachedCriteria since it has a bug: public DetachedCriteria createCriteria(String associationPath, String alias) throws HibernateException { return new DetachedCriteria( impl, criteria.createCriteria(associationPath) ); } public DetachedCriteria createCriteria(String associationPath) throws HibernateException { return new DetachedCriteria( impl, criteria.createCriteria(associationPath) ); } As you can see both implementations are equal, the first one ignores the alias parameter. It has to be public DetachedCriteria createCriteria(String associationPath, String alias) throws HibernateException { return new DetachedCriteria( impl, criteria.createCriteria(associationPath, alias) ); } -- 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
