Hi

When I execute this jpa query: select count(gr.members) from Group gr where gr.key = :key
then the following sql statement is executed: select count(.) as col_0_0_ from model_group group0_, AbstractParty members1_ where group0_.id=members1_.group_id and group0_.key=?

The Group object has a one-to-many relationship to Member

Does anybody know why there is a dot between the brackets in the count function from the sql statement?

Thanks
