Just a quick question: When defining @NamedQueries for jboss ejb3 entities, can I use old EJB-QL from our EJB2 Entity Beans e.g @NamedQuery(name="findAllApplications", query="SELECT OBJECT(application) FROM Application application") Seem to be getting a lot of sytax errors reported: No data type for node: org.hibernate.hql.ast.tree.IdentNode \-[ALIAS_REF] IdentNode: 'application' {alias=application, no from element} It looks like it is expecting a HQL statement, however tons of the EJB3 tutorials online show NamedQueries containing the old EJB 2 finder syntax.
