Hello All, I have a requirement such that the finder method in an CMP entity bean should return 10 Entities from the specified starting position from the specified topic. How write ejb-ql query to retrive the required information? I have used the following statement as my ejb-ql query <ejb-ql>select object(o) from post as o where o.topicId = ?1 order by o.topicId desc offset ?2 limit 10</ejb-ql> But using that resulted in following error. 10:06:05,639 ERROR [postEntity#findByTopicId] Encountered "offset" at line 1, column 78. | Was expecting one of: | <EOF> | "," ... | | org.jboss.ejb.plugins.cmp.ejbql.ParseException: Encountered "offset" at line 1, column 78. | Was expecting one of: | <EOF> | "," ... | | 10:06:05,639 WARN [ServiceController] Problem starting service jboss.j2ee:service=EjbModule,module=forum.jar | org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: Error compiling EJB-QL statement for EJB 'postEntity': select object(o) from post as o where o.topicId = ?1 order by o.topicId desc offset ?2 limit 10; - nested throwable: (org.jboss.ejb.plugins.cmp.ejbql.ParseException: Encountered "offset" at line 1, column 78. | Was expecting one of: | <EOF> | "," ... | ) | Caused by: org.jboss.ejb.plugins.cmp.ejbql.ParseException: Encountered "offset" at line 1, column 78. | Was expecting one of: | <EOF> | "," ...
