Hardy, This one is really a blocker for us as we have to put something into production really soon with 4.4.2 and we can't do it atm. I take the liberty to open a JIRA issue so that I can start working on a PR with a test showing what we do and a fix.
While it looks like it was not an intented feature at the time, it's a very useful one so it would be nice to make it work again. I don't think it has any drawbacks to come back to the preexisting behavior. I understand there probably won't be a release of 4.4.x soon (if any) to fix this but, once we agree on the fix, I can deploy something on our internal repo. -- Guillaume On Thu, Mar 27, 2014 at 2:46 PM, Guillaume Smet <guillaume.s...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Hardy, > > On Thu, Mar 27, 2014 at 12:52 PM, Hardy Ferentschik <ha...@hibernate.org> > wrote: >> I think an example/test would be awesome.
