    IN Operator Giving Me Fits

    mahaffey

      Using jboss-3 alpha, I can't seem to get the IN operator to give me what I want.

      I have a one to many bidirectional relationship where a country can have many cities. I'm trying to use EJB-QL in an ejbSelect method:



      Find a city by name.

      <query-method>
      <method-name>
      ejbSelectCityByName
      </method-name>
      <method-params>
      <method-param>
      myapp.location.CountryLocal
      </method-param>
      <method-param>
      java.lang.String
      </method-param>
      </method-params>
      </query-method>
      <ejb-ql>
      SELECT OBJECT(cty)
      FROM country AS cnt, IN(cnt.cities) AS cty
      WHERE cnt = ?1 AND
      cty.name = ?2
      </ejb-ql>



      Where country is my abstract-schema-name for a CountryEJB and cities is the cmr-field-name in the ejb-relation.

      Whenever I try to deploy my jar, I get:

      [20:26:18,042,ContainerFactory] Could not deploy file:/opt/nautilus/jboss/deploy/Default/nautilus.jar
      java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Path element with identifier is not an instance of AbstractSchema: identifier=cty, pathElement=[CMRField: name=cities]

      My biggest problem right now is that I don't understand what "Path element with identifier is not an instance of AbstractSchema" means. I'm trying to select a CityLocal object from the CountryLocal it belongs to and its name. On the other hand, I can deploy a finder method from the CityEJB side:



      Find a city by name.
      <query-method>
      <method-name>findByName</method-name>
      <method-params>
      <method-param>
      myapp.location.CountryLocal
      </method-param>
      <method-param>
      java.lang.String
      </method-param>
      </method-params>
      </query-method>
      <ejb-ql>
      SELECT OBJECT(c)
      FROM city c
      WHERE c.countryLocal = ?1 AND
      c.name = ?2
      </ejb-ql>



      This works just fine and accomplishes what I want, but my first attempt was using the IN operator...it fails and it seems like I should be able to do this based on EJB-QL examples I've seen.

      Any help or insight much appreciated.
