Can you post the mappings?
See also in the Hibernate documentation, in particular that, to be joinable, the entities need to be associated.

Thanks, Edvins, I already read this reference, but the question remains.

Mapping for table News
News.hbm.xml



Mapping for table Users
Users.hbm.xml

To use the join syntax, you need a relationship defined (I guess it is a many-to-one in this case) in the mappings. Without it, one can use a query like this:

Thanks, this query works fine.
But I want to understand how use association mappings.
Mapping files should looks like this?
News.hbm.xml



Users.hbm.xml


If it`s right then what query will return required result?

But is it not possible to use something equivalent to a left outer join if the entities don't contain each other as a set?

This is my Category:


and this is my Organization:


Similar to the linking in Category I have linking for 2-3 other entities.
I actually needed to retrieve them using an HQL query equivalent to this in MYSQL:


The code you posted is equivalent to a basic join, right? and doesn't retrieve the data I need...

Well...there is no 'straightforward' way in hibernate to do a "Left Outer Join" when your entities do not have a relationship...

but there are hacks...

Like the following set of SQL demonstrate..



So, if it is hibernate, the above query will work....so you can get the desired result for a join even without using join .. :-)
But such a thing is not recommended, because of the performance impact that it may have if the number of joins on the table are more...and the query becomes complex...etc
