Lack of JPQL support for boolean literals
-----------------------------------------

                 Key: EJB-323
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/EJB-323
             Project: Hibernate Entity Manager
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.3.1.GA
         Environment: Hibernate 3.3.1.GA / Oracle 10g
            Reporter: Bob Tiernay
            Priority: Minor


 
It appears as though Hibernate 3 does not support boolean literals in the select list as required by the JPA spec: 

http://e-docs.bea.com/kodo/docs41/full/html/ejb3_langref.html#ejb3_langref_lit 

"The boolean literals are TRUE and FALSE. Although predefined reserved literals appear in upper case, they are case insensitive" 

Thus, JPQL queries such as: 

"SELECT TRUE FROM Entity e" 

Will not parse. A more realistic example is the following: 

"SELECT NEW ValueClass(e.x, e.y, TRUE) FROM Entity e" 

Which also does not parse.
