Hi,
Thanks for the valuable workaround tip.
I'm afraid that we won't be putting the Hibernate CR into 1.4. If it goes final before we release our final, then there is a chance. We could patch our version of Hibernate, but then we'd have to trust that the problem has been fix as opposed to just not raised its ugly head.
It's going to be a pain to support, but I'd rather support a fully tested Hibernate release with a workaround than a patched version fixed this late in the release cycle.
Regards
