When I try to cache a Criteria Query that is using a ResultTransformer, it causes an ClassCastException.

Sample Code:

Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria(User.class);
criteria.setProjection(Projections.projectionList().add(Projections.property("firstName")).add(Projections.property("lastName")));
criteria.setResultTransformer(Criteria.ALIAS_TO_ENTITY_MAP);
criteria.setCacheable(true);
criteria.list();

Exception:

java.lang.ClassCastException: java.util.HashMap cannot be cast to [Ljava.lang.Object;

I did some research into the problem and found this bug report: http://opensource.atlassian.com/project ... e/HHH-2463. The last comment says that it should be fixed, but I am still seeing the bug in Hibernate 3.5. Does anyone know what the status of this bug is, or know what I can do to fix it? I know transforming the results after calling criteria.list() will avoid the exception, but I would rather not do that unless I have to.
