I attached a simple example project, extract it and run mvnw test. It is a minimal Spring Boot project that recreates the data model from Vlad’s blog post https://vladmihalcea.com/exists-subqueries-jpa-hibernate/ ( https://vladmihalcea.com/exists-subqueries-jpa-hibernate/ ) and issues his example queries in both JPQL and Criteria variants. The JPQL variant succeeds, the Criteria variant throws the aforementioned exception. I encountered this issue while trying to migrate our applications to Hibernate 6, where we make tons of criteria subqueries.
