Inproper separator for nested unregistered sql function ------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-4963 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-4963 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 3.2.4.sp1 Environment: Java version: 1.6.0_16,Sun Microsystems Inc. Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 14.2-b01,Sun Microsystems Inc. OS-System: Linux 2.6.25.14-69.fc8,amd64 Hibernate 3.2.4.sp1 JBosss-4.2.3.GA DB2 v8 / JDBC Driver v4.7.85 Reporter: Jürgen HQL query clauses: {{column1 LIKE CONCAT(CONCAT('%', REPLACE(:matchString, '%', '%%')), '%')}} {{column1 LIKE '%' || REPLACE(:matchString, '%', '%%') || '%'}} translate to: {{t0_.column1 like '%'||REPLACE(?||'%'||'%%')||'%'}} Investigation results: * used dialect {{org.hibernate.dialect.DB2Dialect}} does not have "{{replace}}" as a registered function. * "{{concat}}" is registered as a {{org.hibernate.dialect.function.VarArgsSQLFunction}} with "{{||}}" separator. * invoked render method {{org.hibernate.hql.ast.SqlGenerator.beginFunctionTemplate(AST, AST)}} does put {{org.hibernate.hql.ast.SqlGenerator.FunctionArguments}} writer on stack for outer {{concat}} method * 2. invocation of render method {{org.hibernate.hql.ast.SqlGenerator.beginFunctionTemplate(AST, AST)}} does *NOT* put a new FunctionsArgments writer on stack, *NOR* does it put the {{org.hibernate.hql.ast.SqlGenerator.DefaultWriter}} back on the stack --> outer {{concat}} method FunctionArguments writer captures replace method call output parts as its arguments: "replace(?", "'%'", "'%%')" suggestion: in case of {{template == null}}, let {{org.hibernate.hql.ast.SqlGenerator.beginFunctionTemplate(AST, AST)}} put a new DefaultWriter on the stack, and {{org.hibernate.hql.ast.SqlGenerator.endFunctionTemplate(AST)}} remove it again. workaround by subclassing dialect and registering "{{replace}}" function template, but still, other unregistered functions would be treated improperly. eclipse vardump of {{functionArgments}} on {{org.hibernate.hql.ast.SqlGenerator.endFunctionTemplate(AST)}} for {{concat}} {code} functionArguments org.hibernate.hql.ast.SqlGenerator$FunctionArguments (id=322) argInd 3 args java.util.ArrayList<E> (id=336) elementData java.lang.Object[5] (id=342) [0] "'%'" (id=346) [1] "REPLACE(?"
