Query by example returns wrong entities --------------------------------------- Key: HHH-945 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-945 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.0.5 Environment: MySql 4.1 Reporter: Mike Attachments: Customer.hbm.xml, Order.hbm.xml When querying for orders, the collection returned is a collection of customers, even though when the criteria is created it it is told that we want Orders. This worked under hibernate 2, and stopped working after upgrading. Example exampleOrd = Example.create(ord).excludeZeroes().enableLike(MatchMode.ANYWHERE)..ignoreCase(); Example exampleCust = exampleCust = Example.create(cust).excludeZeroes().enableLike(MatchMode.ANYWHERE).ignoreCase(); Criteria x = session.createCriteria(Order.class); x.add(exampleOrd); x.createCriteria("customer").add(exampleCust); List<Order> orders = x.list(); This returns a List<Customer> when it should return a List<Order>. If I remove the example customer from the criteria, it returns a List<Order> as it should..
