Sorry, no new feature will be added to the 2.1 branch.

We can’t use H3 unfortunately because we do not have enough time to add H3 support to Spring. Is there any way this patch can be applied to H2?

I haven't yet tested with H3. I think there were no change logs related to this.
I will try as soon as I have enough time.


We can live without this "feature" for a few more weeks.

Thank you for your anwser.


Speaking from memory,
Gavin did implement something on the (now dead 2.2 branch). It now has been reporded on H3. Did you test it?
I can remembe, he'd implemented the transparent subclassing (no special keyword).

I'm sorry if I expand the subject a little.  We pulled a patch off the forums some

really uncomfortable using a patched hibernate because there are less eyes on it and 
it makes upgrading harder.  I can submit the patch as we've applied it if you like.  
But also let me know if there is any reason for not allowing this type of 
functionality.  It has been extremely useful to us in our searches as I think it would 
be to others.

Subject: [Hibernate] Polymorphic queries, where and order by



Let's say we have the following (simplified) mapping :



<class name="A" table="T">

   <property name="field1" type="string"/>



   <subclass name="B">

      <property name="field2" type="string"/>

   </subclass>

</class>



Now we can execute any HQL query on the class A using the field1, for

example

"from A a where a.field1 like 'anything%'" or "from A a order by a.field1"



The problems come when we want to use the field2 with the same queries.

Of couse in simple SQL it is possible to do

select * from T order by field2



But in HQL, "from A a order by a.field2" rightly fails because field2 is

not defined

for class A.



This causes problems in sortable or filtered data tables where the user

can sort or filter

by any column he wants.

There is currently only two options :

- allowing to sort only on columns of class A : possible but my users

won't be really happy

- "casting" the query to class B when the user sorts on a column of

class B : that means that the results

   count of the query is not the same when it is sorted than when it is

not ; it completely breaks the

   semantics of sorting/filtering



I understand it does not follow the OO approach of HQL but it would be

really useful to have an additional

syntax to allow using fields of the subclass in HQL queries, something

like "select a from A+ a order by a.field2",

or maybe an option in the Query interface like

query.setUseInheritedProperties(true).



What do you think of this ?



Note : this is an extension of the JIRA HB-792 and could allow to

resolve this case in a better way
