Hi,

I have query defined as follows:

ReadAllQuery query = new ReadAllQuery(User.class);
ExpressionBuilder eb = new ExpressionBuilder(User.class);
query.addOrdering(eb.getAllowingNull("aggregateUser").get("aggregateName"));

Attribute aggregateUser is defined as aggregate object of the object User.This query throws following QueryException:

Exception Description: An outer join (getAllowingNull or anyOfAllowingNone) is only valid for OneToOne, OneToMany, ManyToMany, AggregateCollection and DirectCollection Mappings, and cannot be used for the mapping [org.eclipse.persistence.mappings.AggregateObjectMapping].

Should I prevent using getAllowingNull() on agreggate attibutes? Or is there any another solution?
