It's not a feature request. 4.4 changed this behavior. It was working well with 4.3 (and every other versions before that). > Guillaume, I suspect you might be a happier user if you would keep > using a more bleeding edge version, so to catch any such thing earlier > rather than the day before you go in production.

We upgrade our core framework to new versions as soon as they are released (we coded https://www.artifact-listener.org/ for this purpose). That's why we spend a considerable amount of time doing QA on the components we use - you see a part of this work on ORM + Search but we also do it for other components. You might have noticed that we are often the first company out there to catch regressions. When we have the ability to dedicate cycles to it, we also test CR. But... we develop a lot of applications for a lot of customers and they have different lifecycles: we can upgrade some easily and for others we have to wait for the right opportunity to do it. All in all, we have the following policy: - all the applications in development: they use the latest versions of each components, except if we catch a regression when upgrading. If so we try to help fix it for the next version and we upgrade ASAP; - the applications in production are updated regularly for minor changes; If the changes are big, we wait for our customers to ask changes on the app and we do it then. The fact is that we caught this one while upgrading an app which was using 4.3.0.Final (which is not that old) but I think we have other applications already upgraded to 4.4.2 which have that bug, it's just that we haven't caught it when we upgraded. FWIW, we couldn't upgrade to 4.4.x before 4.4.2.Final because of a few regressions we reported and helped getting fixed (I have at least these ones in mind: HSEARCH-1442 and HSEARCH-1462 but IIRC we had others). (Sorry for the noise but I thought it was a good opportunity to explain how we work, considering we're involved in this community for quite a long time now) -- Guillaume _______________________________________________ hibernate-dev mailing list hibernate-dev@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev
