Follwing the example from http:// wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Release/2.1.0/JPAQueryEnhanceme nts I am casting the query to a subclass using the criteria API Expression.as(type). When casting the result to a Path as per the the example I get a class cast exception.

Root<Employee> empRoot = cq1.from(getEntityManagerFactory().getMetamodel().entity(Employee.class));
Join<Employee, Project> join = empRoot.join("projects");
Path exp = ((Path)join.as(LargeProject.class)).get("budget");

exception thrown..

ClassCastException: Cannot cast org.hibernate.ejb.criteria.expression.function.CastFunction (id=113) to java.persistence.criteria.Path

Can anybody help? Many thanks.

Hello,

The error states you are using Hibernate as your JPA provider.
You need to use EclipseLink as the provider to get EclipseLink features. ie
<provider>org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.PersistenceProvider</provider >
in your persistence.xml with the EclipseLink jar on your classpath. see
http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Examples

Regards,
Chris
