hibernate subquery throwing Null Pointer Exception

Question

I am trying to fire a subquery from hibernate, but it is showing NPE:-(Anyone know how to resolve it? Below is the code:

DetachedCriteria criteria = DetachedCriteria.forClass(My.class,"A");
        criteria.createAlias("A.a", "a");
        criteria.createAlias("A.b", "b");
        if(cValue !=null && cValue.size()>0){
            criteria.add(Restrictions.in("b.c", cValue));
        }
        if(StringUtils.isNotEmpty(commodityList)){
            DetachedCriteria commCriteria  = DetachedCriteria.forClass(My.class,"A1");
            commCriteria.createAlias("A1.a", "a1");
            commCriteria.add(Restrictions.in("a1.name", commodityList.split(",")));
            criteria.add(Subqueries.propertyIn("b.c", commCriteria));
        }
        criteria.addOrder(Order.asc("b.c"));

        return getHibernateTemplate().findByCriteria(criteria);

Stack Trace:

The issue was resoled by adding projection to inner query.

commCriteria.createAlias("A1.b", "b1");
commCriteria.setProjection(Projections.projectionList().add(Projections.property("b1.c")));

Answer 1

It is a bug in Hibernate https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-993

As @Renjith said, it is solved by adding a projection to the DetachedCriteria.
