I have a named query in the named-query.xml file:

  <named-query name="Score.STANDINGS_ITEMS_BY_GROUP">
    <query>
      SELECT NEW com.kawoolutions.bbstats.view.StandingsStatLine(
          ro.id
        , ...
        , SUM(CASE WHEN paf.wasWithdrawn = FALSE AND paa.wasWithdrawn = FALSE AND scf.finalScore > sca.finalScore THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
        , SUM(CASE WHEN paf.wasWithdrawn = FALSE AND paa.wasWithdrawn = FALSE AND scf.finalScore < sca.finalScore THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
        , ...

Here the '<' comparison causes a JPQL error saying:

Quote:

The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup.

The '>' comparison causes no error OTOH.
index.php/fa/11024/0/

Note, that I set all JPQL validation to Ignore, like here: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/369011/

Is this a bug or do you really have to escape those characters in the JPQL statement?

Why isn't the "greater than" above showing an error then?

PS: Dali version is the one from the standard Eclipse Indigo Java EE binary release (?)
PPS: We really need an option to completely turn off ALL JPQL validation!

Any character data in XML (unless it is in a CDATA section) must escape both the "less than" (<) and the "ampersand" (&) characters with "<" and "&", respectively. The "greater than" (>), "double quote" ("), and "single quote" (') may optionally be escaped, but are not required.[1]

Re: PPS: This is XML validation, not JPQL validation.

So there's a strict difference between greater than and less than in plain XML...
I didn't know that. Must have been missing in my XML classes years ago. Thanks for the enlightenment.

Karsten

PS: yes, it is XML validation (of course).
