org.hibernate.QueryException: illegal attempt to dereference collection异常。

转自:http://dingshuangxi888.iteye.com/blog/1160817

首先说一句:是版本的问题!
我写的hql为:
from Department as d where d.employees.name='Tom';
运行时出现异常:org.hibernate.QueryException: illegal attempt to dereference collection
是因为:在上面的HQL语句中,Department的关联实体employees是一个集合,而不直接是一个Employee实体。
在Hibernate3.2.2以前的版本,Hibernate会对关联实体自动使用隐式的inner join,
也就是说如下SQL语句不会有任何问题 :from Department as d where d.employees.name='Tom';
从Hibernate3.2.3以后,Hibernate改变了这种隐式的inner join的策略
对于如下这条语句:
from Department as d where d.employees.name='Tom';
如果employees是普通组件属性,或单个的关联实体,则Hibernate会自动生成隐式的inner join
如果myEvents是也一个集合,那么对不起!系统将会出现 org.hibernate.QueryException: illegal attempt to dereference collection异常。
据Hibernate官方说法:
这样可以让这使得隐含关联更具确定性(原文:This makes implicit joins more deterministic )。
推荐这样写:
from Department as d inner join fetch d.employees e where e.name='Tom';
