Thanks for that Will.  We're using C# 3.0 and .NET 3.5.  I'm running the breaking test against the current trunk of NHibernate.

 

I'll try this out and then take the problem to the users list.

 

Thanks so much to those who have replied to this post.  I have been very pleasantly surprised!

 

Chris

Subject: Re: [NHibernate-development] Strange bug when querying a circulargraph with several joins

 

What version of c# and nh are you using?

 

Here's an extension method that I use for these type of of problems

public static ICriteria CriteriaByLongAlias(this ICriteria criteria, string field)
{
 ICriteria byAlias = criteria.GetCriteriaByAlias(criteria.Alias + "_" + field);
 if(byAlias == null)
   byAlias = criteria.CreateCriteria(field, criteria.Alias + "_" + field);
 return byAlias;
}

Use this as follows:

ICriteria criteria = NHsession.CreateCriteria(typeof(Role));
ICriteria primaryLocationCriteria = criteria.CriteriaByLongAlias("PrimaryLocation");
ICriteria addressCriteria = primaryLocationCriteria.CriteriaByLongAlias("Address");
addressCriteria.Add(Expression.Like("Postcode", "BS%"));

 

If you review CriteriaImpl.cs you will note that while CreateAlias returns the original criteria, CreateCritieria returns the subcriteria. I've found it best to ignore CreateAlias.
