Joined collection expressions not properly "rendered" in JPA Criteria queries

Description

The situation is as follow:
I have an User class which has a collection of elements which is a Set of Role enum values and I want to search for users which have one of more roles. I want to use the CriteriaBuilder, because I have a search form with a lot of fields which are optional.

The User class:
@Entity
@Table(name = "USERS")
@Access(AccessType.FIELD)
public class User implements Serializable {

@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
@Column(name = "ID")
private Long id;

@Column(name = "USERNAME", unique = true, nullable = false, length = 128)
private String username;

@ElementCollection
@Enumerated(EnumType.STRING)
@Column(name = "ROLE")
@CollectionTable(name = "USER_ROLES", joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "USER_ID"))
private Set<Role> roles = new HashSet<Role>();

...
}

The enum Role:
public enum Role {
ROLE_1, ROLE_2, ROLE_3;
}

Creating the query with the CriteriaBuilder
Set<Role> roles = new HashSet<Role>();
roles.add(Role.ROLE_1);
roles.add(Role.ROLE_2);

CriteriaBuilder criteriaBuilder = entityManager.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<User> criteriaQuery = criteriaBuilder.createQuery(User.class);

Root<User> root = criteriaQuery.from(User.class);

criteriaQuery.where(root.join("roles").in(roles));

TypedQuery<User> query = entityManager.createQuery(criteriaQuery);
query.getResultList();

This is the exception:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Parameter value [ROLE_2] was not matching type [java.util.Set]
at org.hibernate.ejb.AbstractQueryImpl.registerParameterBinding(AbstractQueryImpl.java:360)
at org.hibernate.ejb.QueryImpl.setParameter(QueryImpl.java:359)
at org.hibernate.ejb.criteria.CriteriaQueryCompiler$1$1.bind(CriteriaQueryCompiler.java:194)
at org.hibernate.ejb.criteria.CriteriaQueryCompiler.compile(CriteriaQueryCompiler.java:247)
at org.hibernate.ejb.AbstractEntityManagerImpl.createQuery(AbstractEntityManagerImpl.java:437)
...

This all works with OpenJPA 2.0.0

Environment

hibernate-core 3.5.4, hibernate-entitymanager 3.5.4, hsqldb 2.0.0, mac os x 10.6, java 1.6.0_20

This is a maven project with the situation I described.

After numerous failed attempts at using your test case, I got a test case running that shows this behavior

Hi,

I still have this kind of problem.
I have 2 Entites (Employee/Projects, m:n) and so both of them have a Set of each other: Employee has Set<Project> and Project has Set<Employee>.

Now I want to get all Employees they belong to given Projects:

Set<Project> projects = new HashSet<Project>();

projects.add(...);

List<Predicate> predicates = new ArrayList<Predicate>();

CriteriaBuilder criteriaBuilder = em.getCriteriaBuilder();

CriteriaQuery<Employee> query = criteriaBuilder.createQuery(Employee.class);

Root<Employee> root = queryfrom(Employee.class);

predicates.add(cb.in(root.get("projects")).value(values));

return em.createQuery(query.where(cb.and(predicates.toArray(new Predicate[0]))).distinct(true)).getResultList()

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Parameter value [hibernate.test.Project@7f8062] was not matching type [java.util.Set]

Enviroment:
java version 1.6.0_16
