Hibernate hql error with sets

Hibernate error

If anyone gets an error similar to this:

java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.hibernate.hql.ast.tree.DotNode.getColumns(DotNode.java:97)
at org.hibernate.hql.ast.tree.DotNode.initText(DotNode.java:212)
at org.hibernate.hql.ast.tree.DotNode.resolve(DotNode.java:206)



if your hql query looks similar to: where user.addresses.state.abbreviation = 'WI';

try joining and creating an alias for the set of addresses: join user.addresses as adrs ... where ... adrs.state.abbreviation = 'WI';

My favorite quotations..


“A man should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”  by Robert A. Heinlein
