EclipseLink throws JPQLException on using SELECT ... AS in a constructor expression [message #1819241]

Hello,

I ported a webapp to EclipseLink and on init of the queries the persistence provider fails on the query:

aused by: Exception [EclipseLink-0] (Eclipse Persistence Services - 2.7.5.v20191016-ea124dd158): org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.JPQLException

Is this expected behavior? I think it is not very clever to disallow `AS` in constructor expressions...

I have also posted a question on SO here:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59677453/eclipselink-throws-jpqlexception-on-using-select-as-in-a-constructor-express

I would very much appreciate if someone could have a look at this and state his/her opinion.

Is this a missing feature? Is it just normal behavior because JPA doesn't specify it?

Thanks
Karsten

No one?

It looks like a missing feature to me.

I'd agree with your line of thinking that this is a missing feature. Other then the potential complexity of the parser, there is no reason I can see support for it couldn't be added, but not truly a bug as it isn't required by the spec or anywhere else for that matter.

Chris,

thanks for your reply.

I'd like to propose two features for the JPA spec then (I have got another one).

Can you tell me where/who to direct these proposals to?

Thanks
Karsten

I've not looked recently, but all JPA specification contact information should be available on the https://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=220 page.

Please feel free to file enhancement requests within EclipseLink - no reason they can't be implemented here if there is interest, which might add weight for their inclusion in future specifications.

Best Regards,
Chris

Hmm. The link you posted is really old.

Nope.

Do you have any current contacts? I already guessed e-mail-addresses of Linda DeMichiel and Mike Keith, who I had contact with in the past, and I know the latter one had an oracle.com e-mail-address.
