Bug 318195

Comment 1 Doug Clarke 2010-06-28 13:14:09 EDT

Trying it with SIZE:

SELECT e FROM Employee e WHERE SIZE(e.responsibilities) > 0

gives me a similar NPE

Comment 2 Guy Pelletier 2010-07-28 13:49:26 EDT

Deferring this bug to 2.2.0

In the mean time, the following JPQL can be used as an alternative:

Query query = em.createQuery("select e from Employee e where (SELECT count(e1.responsibilities) from Employee e1) > 0");

Comment 3 Tom Ware 2010-11-08 14:51:16 EST

Correct workaround looks more like this:

"select e from Employee e where (SELECT count(e1.responsibilities) from Employee e1 where e1.id = e.id) > 0"

Comment 6 Tom Ware 2010-11-15 14:46:44 EST

Fixed in trunk.   The fix stores some information about the subquery and builds it when information about the session is available for subqueries involved in COUNT.
