[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1276?page=c... ] Paul Kist commented on HHH-1276: -------------------------------- Has this patch been applied to 3.2.5ga? We're trying to use the following method for left outer joins: Criteria myCriteria = session.createCriteria(Employee.class); LogicalExpression orExp = Expression.or(Expression.like("name", "%"+queryString.trim()+"%"), Expression.like("nickname", "%"+queryString.trim()+"%")); LogicalExpression orExp2 = Expression.or(Expression.like("company.company_name", "%"+queryString.trim()+"%"),Expression.eq("id", id)); myCriteria.setFetchMode("company", FetchMode.JOIN).add(Expression.or(orExp, orExp2)); But running the .list() generates an exception: Time elapse d: 0.05 sec <<< ERROR! org.hibernate.QueryException: could not resolve property: company.company_name of: my.model.Employee at org.hibernate.persister.entity.AbstractPropertyMapping.propertyExcept ion(AbstractPropertyMapping.java:44) -- 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
