[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-5727) Collection member declaration not handling optional AS in HQL.

Collection member declaration not handling optional AS in HQL. -------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-5727 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-5727 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 3.2.4.sp1, 3.3.2 Reporter: Dave Stephan Assignee: Strong Liu Fix For: 3.6.1, 4.0.0.Alpha1 HQL: SELECT o FROM EntityBean AS o, IN (o.items) AS l WHERE l.itemValue = '1' The log output gives the following: 2010-11-10 16:03:53,286 DEBUG [org.hibernate.hql.ast.QueryTranslatorImpl] (WorkerThread#0[127.0.0.1:60518]) parse() - HQL: SELECT o FROM EntityBean AS o, IN (o.items) AS l WHERE l.itemValue = '1' 2010-11-10 16:03:53,290 DEBUG [org.hibernate.hql.PARSER] (WorkerThread#0[127.0.0.1:60518]) Keyword 'AS' is being interpreted as an identifier due to: expecting IDENT, found 'AS' 2010-11-10 16:03:53,403 ERROR [org.hibernate.hql.PARSER] (WorkerThread#0[127.0.0.1:60518]) line 1:48: unexpected token: l According to the jpa persistence spec the AS keyword is optional for collection declarations: collection_member_declaration ::= IN (collection_valued_path_expression) [AS] identification_variable In hql.g we have: inCollectionDeclaration! : IN! OPEN! p:path CLOSE! a:alias { #inCollectionDeclaration = #([JOIN, "join"], [INNER, "inner"], #p, #a); } ; Should this be a:asAlias rather than a:alias? Workaround: Do not use option AS, only identifier in the HQL for collection.
