jpa，使用非法命名查询的风险？

Question

I made a NamedQuery that works but I have multiple error markers in eclipse. Now my query might not be legal, an answer of so (see comments) told me it wasn't possible to do what I intended to do in jpa. So, since I managed to do it anyway and I don't really have a clue why it works: my question is what are the underlying risks of using this :

query = "SELECT t FROM Thethread t LEFT JOIN FETCH t.threadVotes tv ON tv.user1=:currentUser ORDER BY t.datePosted DESC"

Under on:

JOIN FETCH expressions cannot be defined with an identification

Under :currentUser:

Input parameters can only be used in the WHERE clause or HAVING clause of a query.

I didn't manage to get the result I want without it. Which is :

• Get the newest Thethread
• Get only the current user vote in its collection.

If you know how to do that, please, be my guest.

The entities are as such :

public class Thethread implements Serializable {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private long idthread;

    @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
    @Column(name = "date_posted")
    private Date datePosted;

    private int downvotes;

    private int upvotes;

    // bi-directional many-to-one association to ThreadVote
    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "thethread")
    private List<ThreadVote> threadVotes;
    }

public class ThreadVote implements Serializable {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    @Id
    @Column(name = "id_votes_thread")
    private int idVotesThread;

    private int vote;

    // bi-directional many-to-one association to Thethread
    @ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
    @JoinColumn(name = "thread")
    private Thethread thethread;

    // bi-directional many-to-one association to User
    @ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
    @JoinColumn(name = "from_user")
    private User user1;
    }

Your query is correct JPQL according to JPA 2.1 (JavaEE 7). Eclipselink supports it and other providers should too, if they support 2.1 version of JPA. The operator ON with JOIN is new with this latest JPA version, it was not present in neither JPA 2.0 (JavaEE 6) nor in older JPA 1 versions.

Here is more info from EclipseLink wiki . The wiki states that Eclipselink implements ON operator and that it is in draft JPA 2.1. I checked also that it is also in final JPA 2.1 specification - and it is there.

In order to use your query, you just need to ensure that your environment/application server supports JPA 2.1 (eg application server should support Java EE 7, such as Glassfish 4 or WildFly 8+)

It is not a problem that your IDE (Eclipse) gives warnings until your query works. Eclipse probably does not support JPA 2.1 syntax or your project must be somehow configured to support JPA 2.1 and not older versions of JPA. Try to look into project properties, under project facets, and ensure you have JPA in version 2.1
