Search.count() does not work with composite id's

[GoogleCodeExporter]

If using Entities with composite Id's, e.g. like

@Entity
@Table(name = "Products", catalog = "Utility")
public class Products implements java.io.Serializable {

    private ProductsId id;
    private String productGroupName;

..... }

and the corresponding Id class:

@Embeddable
public class ProductsId implements java.io.Serializable {

    private String  facility;
    private String  productGroup;
    private String  product;

.... }

and a DAO like this 

@Repository
public class ProductsHome extends GenericDAOImpl<Products, ProductsId> {
}

Now using search function "count()" will fail because the root alias "_it" will 
be expanded leading to invalid sql.

It will create invalid SQL like:

select count( (produ0_.Facility, produ0_.ProductGroup, produ0_.Product) as 
col_0_0_ from Utility.Products produ0_

this fails on mysql with error 1241.
/* SQL Error (1241): Operand should contain 1 column(s) */

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected is sql like:
select count((produ0_.Facility))
or 
select count (*) ....

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.0.0
Hibernate 3.6.5.Final

I hope to look into this. There might be a different problem if we just use 
count(*); I seem to recall some issue.

In the mean time, the workaround might be to call searchUnique with a Search 
object that specifies a specific count column.

Was this ever looked into?
