Steve Ebersole commented on HHH-2534:
-------------------------------------

Actually just found out that this code is no longer really working.  Somehow the regression tests (I thought) I had added are no longer there.  So add tests for this as well.

> Currently, when a user dereferences a collection improperly in an HQL query, a sorta cryptic error message is given which is a hold-over from the classic parser days (kept for regression testing in HQLTest).  The error just says "illegal syntax near collection: ${propertyName}".  
> Use a delegate in DotNode to allow a better error message by default, but for HQLTest to plugin a "classic" style error message generator.
