    ejbql query-path of derived entity

    gnulp

      I tried to drill down the problem to following simple example:

      Address has a simple relation to Person which is derived from Employee ...

      @javax.persistence.Entity
      public class Address {
       String street;
       Long id;
       Person person;
       public String getStreet() {
       return street;
       }
       public void setStreet(String value) {
       street = value;
       }
       @javax.persistence.Id
       public Long getId() {
       return id;
       }
       @javax.persistence.ManyToOne
       public Person getPerson() {
       return this.person;
       }
       public void setPerson(Person person) {
       this.person = person;
       }
      }
      


      @javax.persistence.Entity
      @javax.persistence.Inheritance(strategy = javax.persistence.InheritanceType.JOINED)
      public class Person {
       String name;
       Long id;
       private java.util.Set<Address> address;
       public String getName() {
       return name;
       }
       public void setName(String value) {
       name = value;
       }
       @javax.persistence.Id
       public Long getId() {
       return id;
       }
       public void setId(Long value) {
       id = value;
       }
       @javax.persistence.OneToMany(mappedBy = "person")
       public java.util.Set<Address> getAddress() {
       return this.address;
       }
       public void setAddress(java.util.Set<Address> address) {
       this.address = address;
       }
      }
      


      @javax.persistence.Entity
      public class Employee extends Person {
       Double salary;
       public Double getSalary() {
       return salary;
       }
       public void setSalary(java.lang.Double value) {
       salary = value;
       }
      }
      


      Now I would like to write a simple EJBQL to query for addresses named "streetName" and employees that earn more then "2000" ...

      SELECT A FROM Address A WHERE (A.street=streetName) AND (A.employee.salary>2000)
      



      ==> now to my question:

      As we can see, the bean path A.employee.salary is wrong and i will get a
      could not resolve property: employee


      but writing

      SELECT A FROM Address A WHERE (A.street=streetName) AND (A.person.salary>2000)
      


      is also wrong, because there is no salary attribute in the person entity ...

      So how can I select in EJBQL using the path notation ?

      Thx for any help
