I'm getting the duplicate association path on the following search query:

...
rootCriteria = session.createCriteria(Entity.class);

rootCriteria.add(Restrictions.eq("entityTypeId", entityTypeId));
Criteria criteria2 = rootCriteria.createCriteria
("attributes","Attribute1");
criteria2.add(Restrictions.eq("entityAttributeTypeId",160004));
criteria2.add(Restrictions.eq("booleanValue",1));
matchedEntities = updateMatchedEntities(matchedEntities,
rootCriteria.list());

the call to list() results in the QueryException being thrown.

I don't see any relevant docs on the web, what am I likely doing wrong?

I took the option of creating alias for attributes collection and assume entityAttributeTypeId, booleanValue are attributes in the collection element. Also I have placed wrappers Long, Integer for 160004 and 1 because without that you will get compile errors.
