@OrderBy does not work as expected?

[atodorov]

I have an entity bean, which has a @ManyToMany association to itself. But it appears that the @OrderBy annotation is not functioning in this case... (no exceptions - just the result is not sorted at all)

Example:

@Entity
public class Client implements Serializable {

 private List<Client> partners;

 //.....

 @ManyToMany
 @OrderBy("name") // I tried different fields, but no effect...
 // the default should sort by id, but it doesn't work either
 public List<Client> getPartners() {
 return partners;
 }

 public void setPartners(List<Client> partners) {
 this.partners = partners;
 }

}

Any ideas?
Is it a bug or I'm doing something wrong?

[epbernard]

should be fixed in the latest release which one are you using?

That's right... I just moved to the 4.0.4.GA version and it appears to work properly.

Thanks!
