Answer 1

Try changing the mapping annotations. Remove the @JoinColumn annotation from ratingList and add mappedBy attribute:

@OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.EAGER, mappedBy = "user") 
private List<Rating> ratingList = new ArrayList<Rating>();

where user is the property name in the Rating entity that has a @ManyToOne association with User .

Another thing that can cause this is if you don't quite do your criteria correctly.

For example if you put "rating" in the criteria, but you actually need "rating.id" . That will cause this same error message to come up.

So if you've checked your Entity definitions check to make sure you don't have a simply mistake like this in the actual query that is failing. That was the issue when I was getting a similar error.
