I'm trying to write an HQL query to grab a list of users that belong to a particular organisation, or any franchisee from a list of franchisees, however hibernate isn't able to parse it. I can't figure out why. Here is the HQL:
from User u where
(u.parentOrganisation = :topLevelOrganisation or u.parentOrganisation in :franchisees)
and u.parentOrganisation.deleted = false
and u.active = true
This is the error that hibernate spits out:
unexpected AST node: {vector} [from com.myapp.User u where (u.parentOrganisation = :topLevelOrganisation or u.parentOrganisation in :franchisees0_, :franchisees
1_, :franchisees2_) and u.parentOrganisation.deleted = false and u.active = true]. Stacktrace follows:
Message: unexpected AST node: {vector} [from com.myapp.User u where (u.parentOrganisation = :topLevelOrganisation or u.parentOrganisation in :franchisees0_, :fr
anchisees1_, :franchisees2_) and u.parentOrganisation.deleted = false and u.active = true]
If I take out the or u.parentOrganisation in :franchisees
bit, so my query looks like this:
from User u where
(u.parentOrganisation = :topLevelOrganisation)
and u.parentOrganisation.deleted = false
and u.active = true
Then it works fine. What's wrong with my syntax? Why is hibernate complaining about that extra clause?
Oh, it turns out that I needed to enclose :franchisees
in parentheses:
from User u where
(u.parentOrganisation = :topLevelOrganisation or u.parentOrganisation in (:franchisees))
and u.parentOrganisation.deleted = false
and u.active = true
