[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-5755) javax.persistence.criteria.Expression.as() is broken

javax.persistence.criteria.Expression.as() is broken ---------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-5755 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-5755 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: entity-manager Affects Versions: 3.6.0 Reporter: Artem Troitskiy Priority: Minor When I try to execute criteria query containing typecast to {{String}} {noformat} CriteriaQuery<Product> criteria = builder.createQuery( Product.class ); Root<Product> from = criteria.from( Product.class ); criteria.where(builder.like(from.get("partNumber").as(String.class), "1%")); List<Product> result = em.createQuery( criteria ).getResultList(); {noformat} I get the following exception {quote} org.hibernate.hql.ast.QuerySyntaxException: expecting CLOSE, found '(' near line 1, column 132 [select generatedAlias0 from org.hibernate.ejb.metamodel.Product as generatedAlias0 where cast(generatedAlias0.partNumber as varchar(255)) like :param0] {quote} As you can see, SQL type is used in HQL {{cast}} clause. It's caused by {{CriteriaQueryCompiler.RenderingContext.getCastType()}} that erroneously return SQL typename instead of Hibernate typename.
