Hi

I'm trying use the @Formula to call a MySQL function - but keep getting errors. I have an entity that represents an entry in a catalog and that works fine. Now I would like a column show the path to the entry (the path navigated through the catalog to find the entry), and for that I have a MySQL function. So it would be great if I could have a variable like this:

@Formula(value = "SELECT FIND_PATH_BY_ITEM_ID( id ) FROM DUAL")
private String breadcrumbs;

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong - or is it not possible to use @Formula for this?

The error is listed below.

Thanks in advance. Best regards

Søren Christensen
