[Hibernate] Are types really needed for queries?

[Chris N. <ch...@si...>]

Just a thought...shouldn't Hibernate be able to infer the Type or Type[]
needed in find/findIdentifiers/iterate calls from the query itself?

e.g.

List moreCats = sess.find(
    "from cat in class eg.Cat where " + 
    "cat.name = 'Fritz' or cat.id = ? or cat.id = ?",
    new Object[] { id1, id2 },
    new Type[] { Hibernate.LONG, Hibernate.LONG }
);

I think Hibernate already knows that these need to be LONGs.

Maybe there are cases where there is some ambiguity, but if so I would
guess it could be resolved by looking at the actual types of the
argument objects (id1, id2).
