Using size() for collection associations in where-queries or detached criteria leads to exception

[Mihael Koep]

We are using Grails 5.2.5 annd GORM 7.3.2 with Hibernate5.

We have a domain object with a collection/list of other domain object and would like to do something like:

    Container.where {
        parts.size() == 1
        parts{ id == 123 }
    }.deleteAll()

As per documentation (section 7.4.5) this is supported by both where-queries and detached criteria: http://gorm.grails.org/latest/hibernate/manual/index.html#whereQueries

Doing so leads to the exception:

Caused by: org.springframework.dao.InvalidDataAccessResourceUsageException: Queries of type SizeEquals are not supported by this implementation
