Turning from NPE to a more "user friendly" exception in case of a specific mistake in a query --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-2194 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2194 Project: Hibernate3 Type: Improvement Components: query-hql Versions: 3.2.0.ga Reporter: Regis Pires Magalhaes Priority: Minor Attachments: QueryCacheTest.java The following query with an aditional parenthesis (after '%') causes a NullPointerException in Hibernate. We think the exception could be more specific to be easily detected by the developer. Obviously we are sendind a very simplified query version that reproduces the "problem": select item from Item item where upper(item.description) like upper(:name) || '%') and item.id >= :index We are also attaching a modified hibernate test to ilustrate the NPE. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
