wrong examples of elements function in HQL Documentation (14.1) --------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-3916 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3916 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: documentation Affects Versions: 3.3.1 Reporter: Jordi Boixadera Planas In the chapter "14.10. Expressions" doesn't mention that the funcions elements, exists, ... don't work with collections unless you explicitly join with that collection. For example, one of the samples provided is: "from Cat cat where exists elements(cat.kittens)" With version 3.2.5ga this example doesn't work, to make it work it should be: "from Cat cat left join cat.kittens where exists elements(cat.kittens)" In the issue HHH-2667 "'illegal attempt to dereference collection' when using auto-join" it is commented that a explicit join has to be used in these cases. -- 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
