I'm getting this error when doing that:

org.hibernate.MappingException: collection was not an association'

I've searched for it in the web and I got this sentence from hibernate.org:

Hibernate currently does not support joining a collection of components or other value types with Criteria. Use HQL or submit a patch that implements this functionality.

Has it been implemented already? Or do we have to continue using hql for doing this kind of queries.

Thanks a lot
