Hi ,

Here is the cause of the issue:

getSelectSubclasses() of ValueMappingImpl.java is checking for criteria.

"return (_criteria) ? Select.SUBS_JOINABLE
                    : Select.SUBS_ANY_JOINABLE;"

If criteria is selected then "Select.SUBS_JOINABLE" is returned which will
generate a select statement that has subclass criteria ( in my E.g:
t0.ITEM_TYPE = ? )

If criteria is not selected then "Select.SUBS_ANY_JOINABLE" is returned
which will not generate the above condition.

So the question is if we have to make Select.SUBS_JOINABLE the default
behavior.

I think throwing class cast exception is bad and hence the default behavior
need to be changed to Select.SUBS_JOINABLE.

Thanks in advance,
Ravi.
