@OrderBy fails if order by property is in inherited superclass -------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-7231 URL: https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HHH-7231 Project: Hibernate ORM Issue Type: Bug Components: entity-manager Affects Versions: 4.1.1 Environment: Java 1.6 Windows XP SP3 Eclipse 3.6 Spring 3.1.1 MySQL (Same error in oracle and HSQLDB) Reporter: Roberto Ruiz Attachments: hibernate-inherited-orderby-test.zip I try to order a Set or List mapped by @ManyToOne using a property that is in the inherited superclass of the child side. When I try to recover the Set, the query fails because generated SQL is wrong Next I write a simplified example (getters an setter ommited): @Entity @Table(name="PLACE") @Inheritance(strategy=InheritanceType.JOINED) public abstract class Place { @Id @Column(name="PLACE_ID") private Long id; @Column(name="PLACE_NAME") private String name; } @Entity @Table(name="LOCALITY") @PrimaryKeyJoinColumn(name="PLACE_ID", referencedColumnName="PLACE_ID") public class Locality extends Place { @Column(name="LOCALITY_MAJOR") private String major; @OneToMany(mappedBy="locality") @OrderBy("historyCount") private Set<LocalityHistorical> history; } @Entity @Table(name="PLACE_HIST") @Inheritance(strategy=InheritanceType.JOINED) public abstract class PlaceHistorical { @Id @Column(name="HIST_PLACE_ID") private Long id; @Column(name="HIST_PLACE_NAME") private String name; @Column(name="HIST_COUNT") private Long historyCount; } @Entity @Table(name="LOCALITY_HIST") @PrimaryKeyJoinColumn(name="HIST_PLACE_ID", referencedColumnName="HIST_PLACE_ID") public class LocalityHistorical extends PlaceHistorical { @ManyToOne(optional=false) @JoinColumn(name="PLACE_ID") private Locality locality; @Column(name="LOCALITY_MAJOR") private String major; } As you may see in the example, the entity "Locality" has a Set called histiry of "LocalityHistorical". The set is ordered by historyCount which is a field of the superentity "PlaceHistorical". The generated SQL is: select history0_.PLACE_ID as PLACE3_0_1_, history0_.HIST_PLACE_ID as HIST2_1_, history0_.HIST_PLACE_ID as HIST1_2_0_, history0_1_.HIST_COUNT as HIST2_2_0_, history0_1_.HIST_PLACE_NAME as HIST3_2_0_, history0_.PLACE_ID as PLACE3_3_0_, history0_.LOCALITY_MAJOR as LOCALITY1_3_0_ from LOCALITY_HIST history0_ inner join PLACE_HIST history0_1_ on history0_.HIST_PLACE_ID=history0_1_.HIST_PLACE_ID where history0_.PLACE_ID=? order by history0_.PLACE_HIST.HIST_COUNT asc The error is in the order by clause which should be "history0_1_.HIST_COUNT" instead of "history0_.PLACE_HIST.HIST_COUNT"
