Philipp Wandl ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=712020%... ) *commented* on HHH-16864 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16864?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiYjQ4YW... ) Re: JPA Criteria queries do not conform to JPA spec when distinct=false ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16864?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiYjQ4YW... ) Well, then let’s not discuss use cases - I know that I can workaround the issue by querying differently and i do not have a real use case at the moment where the bug is limiting me. But could you please explain, how hibernate conforms to the following quote of the JPA spec? Because I think it does not conform - I just do not get the possibility to use distinct(false) properly, even if I want to, for whatever reason.
