Hi,
I use JBoss 5.1 that uses Hibernate core 3.3.1 and EntityManager 3.4.0.

I tried to use proguard to obfuscate entity class names. For example,

@Entity(name="Foo")
class Foo --> f

@Entity(name="Bar")
class Bar --> g

NamedQuery:
select a from Foo a, Bar b where ....

org.hibernate.hql.ast.QuerySyntaxException: ??? is not mapped.
From debug, the query string is correctly passed to Hibernate. where the three question marks come from? Thanks for help.

----------

I tried the following again:

package mypackage;

@Entity(name="Student")
@Table(name="Student")
class Student {
age,
name
}

HQL:
select distinct c from Student c where c.age>=20 order by c.name desc

It works fine.

After obfuscation, the Student class name becomes a;
(From the following error message). The entity name and table name is not changed.

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: org.hibernate.hql.ast.QuerySyntaxException: ??? is not mapped [select distinct c from mypackage.a c where c.age>=20 order by c.name desc]

The mesage should let me know which is not mapped, but it shows question marks.

DetachedCriteria works fine before and after obfuscation.

Thanks for help. any ideas are appreciated.
