Add outer join support to Criteria API -------------------------------------- Key: HHH-1276 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1276 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Patch Components: core Affects Versions: 3.1 Reporter: Jeremy Haile Attachments: patch.txt Here's a patch that allows users to specify a joinType when calling createCriteria and createAlias on the Criteria interface. This allows you to specify outer joins when creating Criteria. If you have any questions or see anything I missed - let me know. I have tested and am currently using the patch with no problems.
