JPQL: Syntax error parsing the query, unexpected token


Maybe I'm not seeing it, but what's wrong with specifying the group?

Difficulty querying the database (currently empty):

public void persist(Msg message) {
    LOG.info("\t" + message);
    LOG.info("isOpen?" + em.isOpen());
    em.getTransaction().begin();
    int id = message.getId();
    TypedQuery<Notes> q = em.createQuery("SELECT  n "
            + "FROM Notes n WHERE n.messageId = :messageId "
            + "AND n.group = :group", Notes.class);
    q.setParameter("messageId", message.getId()).setParameter("group", message.getGroup());
    List<Notes> results = q.getResultList();
    em.getTransaction().commit();
    for (Notes o : results) {
        LOG.info("object is \n\n" + o);
    }
}

Should this class be Note or Notes? Similarly should the table be Note or Notes? Maybe it doesn't matter.

Entity:

package net.bounceme.dur.usenet.controller;

import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.Date;
import javax.persistence.*;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;

@Entity
@Table(name = "notes", catalog = "nntp", schema = "")
@XmlRootElement
@NamedQueries({
    @NamedQuery(name = "Notes.findAll", query = "SELECT n FROM Notes n"),
    @NamedQuery(name = "Notes.findById", query = "SELECT n FROM Notes n WHERE n.id = :id"),
    @NamedQuery(name = "Notes.findByGroupId", query = "SELECT n FROM Notes n WHERE n.groupId = :groupId"),
    @NamedQuery(name = "Notes.findByStamp", query = "SELECT n FROM Notes n WHERE n.stamp = :stamp"),
    @NamedQuery(name = "Notes.findByMessageId", query = "SELECT n FROM Notes n WHERE n.messageId = :messageId"),
    @NamedQuery(name = "Notes.getByIdAndGroup", query = "SELECT DISTINCT n FROM Notes n WHERE n.messageId = :messageId AND n.group=group"),
})
public class Notes implements Serializable {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    @Id
    @Basic(optional = false)

    @Temporal(TemporalType.DATE)
    private Date stamp;

    private String note;

    private int messageId;
    @Basic(optional = false)

    public Notes() {
    }

    public Notes(Long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public Notes(Long id, int groupId, Date stamp, int messageId, String group) {
        this.id = id;
        this.groupId = groupId;

    public void setId(Long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public int getGroupId() {
        return groupId;
    }

    public void setGroupId(int groupId) {
        this.groupId = groupId;
    }

    public Date getStamp() {
        return stamp;
    }

    public void setStamp(Date stamp) {
        this.stamp = stamp;
    }

    public String getNote() {
        return note;
    }

    public void setNote(String note) {
        this.note = note;
    }

    public int getMessageId() {
        return messageId;
    }

    public void setMessageId(int messageId) {
        this.messageId = messageId;
    }

    public String getGroup() {
        return group;
    }

    public void setGroup(String group) {
        this.group = group;
    }

    @Override
    public int hashCode() {
        int hash = 0;
        hash += (id != null ? id.hashCode() : 0);
        return hash;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean equals(Object object) {
        // TODO: Warning - this method won't work in the case the id fields are not set
        if (!(object instanceof Notes)) {
            return false;
        }
        Notes other = (Notes) object;
        if ((this.id == null && other.id != null) || (this.id != null && !this.id.equals(other.id))) {
            return false;
        }
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "net.bounceme.dur.usenet.controller.Notes[ id=" + id + " ]";
    }

}

Right now I'm just using the one table, but can't seem to get a working query.


Solution

  • Syntax error parsing the query [Notes.getByIdAndGroup: SELECT DISTINCT n FROM Notes n WHERE n.messageId = :messageId AND n.group=group], line 1, column 74: unexpected token [group].

    In SQL, GROUP is a reserved word, which is probably the reason for this error message. In JPA2 it should be possible to quote the column name in the query by changing the annotation to

    @Column(name="\"GROUP\"")
    

    If that does not work in your case, your best bet would be to change the database column and annotation to something like GROUP_NAME.
