>                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-5680
>             Project: Hibernate Core
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 3.6.0
>            Reporter: Azuo Lee

> According to JPA 2.0 spec 4.6.9, the sytax for an IN expression should be:
> in_expression ::=
>     {state_field_path_expression | type_discriminator} [NOT] IN
>         { ( in_item {, in_item}* ) | (subquery) | collection_valued_input_parameter }
> in_item ::= literal | single_valued_input_parameter
> Note that parentheses are required only if a subquery, or one or more listerals or single_valued_input_parameters is used, but should be absent if a collection_valued_input_parameter is used.
> For example, with the following query parameters:
> p1 : String "01";
> p2 : String "02";
> p3 : List containing 2 Strings "01" and "02";
> the following IN expressions should all be legal, per JPA spec:
> IN ("01", "02")
> IN (:p1, :p2)
> IN (:p1)
> IN :p3
> but the following expressions are ILLEGAL:
> IN :p1
> IN (:p3)
> Current Hibernate implementation requires parentheses as mandatory in an IN expression, this is not conform to the JPA spec.
> Using of parentheses in an IN expression provides a strict syntax to distinguish between a single_valued_input_parameter and a collection_valued_input_parameter, which is more reliable than "guessing" the semantics of the parameter by examining its Java type.
