Description Neil Hauge CLA 2010-10-14 13:29:52 EDT 
EclipseLink could benefit from a utility that would provide static validation of JPQL queries.  This could provide query validation at build time or other times when it is desirable to avoid the overhead associated with creating an EntityManager.

EclipseLink adopters could also use this type of utility in a design-time setting for query validation.
Comment 1 Neil Hauge CLA 2010-10-14 13:50:17 EDT 
The utils component seems like a good fit for this functionality.  We need to determine the package root for this code.

One option would be:

org.eclipse.persistence.tools.* 

since that is what the workbench uses. Another option would be

org.eclipse.persistence.utils.* 

which is more in line with the standard component based naming.
Comment 2 Neil Hauge CLA 2010-10-19 16:49:03 EDT 
It has been suggested by Doug that this contribution be made to the Incubator, where it would be worked on for a period of time before transitioning to Utils.  As a result I am changing the component field.

Another question that needs to be answered is whether this functionality should be targeted to 2.2 or a future release.

JPQL parser API

The parser has approximately 26 754 lines of code, ~434 classes (including interfaces and enums).

Pascal, please verify that you authored 100% of this code.  Thanks.
