- Hibernate Core <http://hibernate.jira.com/browse/HHH> - HHH-4581 <http://hibernate.jira.com/browse/HHH-4581> Embedded objects in criteria API does not work<http://hibernate.jira.com/browse/HHH-4581> - *Type:* [image: Bug] Bug - *Status:* [image: Resolved] Resolved - *Priority:* [image: Blocker] Blocker - *Resolution:* Fixed - *Affects Version/s:* 3.5.0-Beta-2 - *Fix Version/s:* 3.5.0-Beta-3<http://hibernate.jira.com/browse/HHH/fixforversion/10981> - *Component/s:* entity-manager<http://hibernate.jira.com/browse/HHH/component/10331>;, query-criteria <http://hibernate.jira.com/browse/HHH/component/10152> Seems to imply that its fixed when using an EM but i cant get it work when using the Hibernate Criteria API. The property inside the embedded component over a join is never resolved and i get a Caused by: org.hibernate.QueryException: could not resolve property: x.x.x.X of: Y at org.hibernate.persister.entity.AbstractPropertyMapping.propertyException(AbstractPropertyMapping.java:81) at org.hibernate.persister.entity.AbstractPropertyMapping.toColumns(AbstractPropertyMapping.java:96). If i recall without the join the embedded component may appear in a built criteria and works fine. My query is recursive, think directory can have another directory as its parent and i wish to query for a directory with a "path". The name portion of the directory is embedded. Should this work ? tya mP
