Answer 1

The solution with the sqlRestriction from jira http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-869 seemed the best way to go for me since i heavily use criteria api. I had to edit Thierry's code so it worked in my case

Model:

@Entity
public class PlatformData
{
  @Id
  @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
  private long iID;

  private List iPlatformAbilities = new ArrayList();
}

Criteria call:

tCriteria.add(Restrictions.sqlRestriction(
        "{alias}.id in (select e.id from platformData e, platformdata_platformabilities v"
          + " where e.id = v.platformdata_id and v.element = ? )", aPlatformAbility.toString(),
        Hibernate.STRING));
