- In .Net, you can't compare two types that are different. This is not quite true. You can compare 2 objects, and every object inherits from an object. If you want to match .NET behavior, I think it should work because in objects, there is a default Equals implementation which compares the handles and in HQL default is id, where default means that if it is not overriden it should be the behavior.
How is it done in other parts of HQL, is there any other situation that's already decided in somewhere else in HQL ?
