I'm trying to use a dynamic EJBQL/JbossQL expresssion that involves an ORDER BY of a boolean CMP attribute:

SELECT OBJECT(o) FROM UserBean AS o ORDER BY o.active

Where UserBean.active is a CMP2 boolean attribute (extract from UserBean.java, using XDoclet)

/**
* @ejb.persistent-field
* @ejb.interface-method view-type="local"
* @ejb.persistence column-name="B_ACTIVE"
*/
public abstract boolean getActive();
/** @ejb.interface-method view-type="local" */
public abstract void setActive(boolean value);

I'm getting a FinderException when I execute the query:

javax.ejb.FinderException: Error compiling ejbql: org.jboss.ejb.plugins.cmp.ejbql.ParseException: Encountered "o.active" at line 1, column 45.
Was expecting one of:
<NUMERIC_VALUED_PATH> ...
<STRING_VALUED_PATH> ...
<DATETIME_VALUED_PATH> ...

Are booleans supported in ORDER BY? Are there any good workarounds if they are not?

I'm currently using jboss3.2.5 and Oracle10g, but I'm open to migrating to a newer version for this support.

Thanks in advance.
