[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBSEAM-3550) EntityQuery and ordering issue

EntityQuery and ordering issue ------------------------------ Key: JBSEAM-3550 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3550 Project: Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: Core Affects Versions: 2.1.0.CR1 Reporter: Jarek Gilewski Assignee: Norman Richards Fix For: 2.1.0.GA I cannot call setOrderColumn("pi.payment.name"); // for joined tables for EntityQuery. I got java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: invalid order column at org.jboss.seam.framework.Query.sanitizeOrderColumn(Query.java:445) at org.jboss.seam.framework.Query.setOrderColumn(Query.java:436) I can see at Query.java that the column name is checked with pattern "\\w*$" (ORDER_COLUMN_PATTERN) wich i guess don't allowe the dot in the order column name. Can we chcenge the ORDER_COLUMN_PATTERN to allow ordering by related columns? I think it should be something like this '^(\w+)(\.\w+)*$'.
