Hello,

As a workaround to a previous problem:
http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?t=928578

I have created two normal classes instead of a hierarchy, and instead of discriminator-value, I use the "where" parameter in the <class> tag.

So, I have a class hierarchy like this:



The StupidPerson class mapping begins like this:

<class name="StupidPerson" where="intellecutallychallenged='1'"

Now if I have a query which queries on a StupidPerson property

select comp.stupidperson.name from Company as comp

the intellectuallychallenged constraint DO appear in the SQL query.

But if I query on

select comp.stupidperson.address.streetname from Company as comp

The intellectuallychallenged constraint does not appear, even if I clearly(?)
wanted that constraint.

Is this in accordance with Hibernate semantics? If, so how can I guarantee the constraints on parent entities are used when querying on child entitites?

Just to answer myself, the obvious thing is just to select any attribute from StupidPerson as well as Address.. then the constraint is there. So I guess this is something which only happen in a few scenarios when using scalar queries.
