QueryParser to restrictive, does not allow hash sign (#) in string literal -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-3888 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3888 Project: Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: Core Affects Versions: 2.1.1.GA Environment: jboss-seam-2.0.2.SP1, hibernate-entitymanager-3.4.0.GA, spring-2.5.6 Reporter: David Rosell The QueryParser are to restrictive when validating a query expression. It is not possible to use a hash sign (#) in a String literal query expression. An IllegalArgumentException are thrown for this query: String ejbql = "SELECT s FROM Service s WHERE s.name = 'DB#CORE' "; Query q = em.createQuery(ejbql); Rather than using: StringTokenizer tokens = new StringTokenizer(ejbql, "#}", true); it would be better to be more precise in selecting what should be processed, use regexp and splitting the ejbql expression for #{...} instead.
