I also like the look of it. > List l = s.createSQLQuery("select {org.*}, {emp.*}, emp.regionCode from > organization org left outer join employment emp on org.id = emp.employer") > .addEntity("org", Organization.class) > .addJoin("emp", "org.employments") > .addScalar("regionCode", Hibernate.STRING) > .list(); Looks okay to me. Shouldn't this be "select {org.*}, {emp.*}, emp.regionCode {regionCode} from ...", or did you remove aliasing for the scalars? > addScalar - ok, any thoughts on how this "scales" up to handling > compositeusertypes ? > > The suggested xml version is something like: > <return-scalar type="MonetaryAmount"> > <column-alias name="c1"/> > <column-alias name="c2"/> > </return-scalar> > > in the API that would be something like: > .addScalar(new String[] { "c1", "c2" }, > Hibernate.custom(MonetaryAmmount.class)) or ? Can't we reuse the "names" from the CustomType?

I would rather go for some user-defined ordering, e.g. the order of the addXXX() method calls. Enforcing something like "entities always first" sounds a bit confusing to me, what if I return multiple entities, scalars, how do I know which one comes first then?
