Hi,

from time to time I get screwed because I create a criteria for a class which is not persistable at all (= not mapped in hibernate configuration file).

The criteria creation works fine and Criteria#list just returns silently an empty list.

Example: java.lang.Integer not mapped ...

Criteria crit = session.createCriteria(Integer.class);
crit.list();

will work without exception (returning an empty list).

Is that the intended behaviour ? At least the javadoc for SessonImpl and CriteriaImpl do not seem to indicate this.

To me it seems that searching for persisted instances of a class which has not been mapped at all is an error in the application logic.
