[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-879?page=co... ] Aleksei Valikov commented on HHH-879: ------------------------------------- Yes, I do understand why it's uneasy to fix. I have tried hacking in myself but found out that the task is much more complex that I initially thought. I'd leave this issue registered in order to let other people know about the limitations. A small not in the documentation would also be nice. Anyway, with Criteria or not, there's clearly a need for a programmatic query formulation facility. So I finally end up writing an own programmatic API. My API is XQuery FLWR (for let where return) like and translates into the HQL at the end. If you provide anything similar in future versions, I'd surely switch. -- 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
