Is it possible to include a literal value in the select clause of an HQL query? For example, in an hbm file,



The reason that I want to do this is I have a Java method that will execute one of a number of queries and I need the results of all the queries to be structurally equivalent so that the calling code can access the results in an identical fashion. So I need to add a "dummy" column to the results of this query.

I didn't see any discussion of this in Chapter 9 of the Hibernate documentation and it doesn't seem to work. Hibernate gives an error saying that "1" is an undefined alias.

Thanks,

Sarah

no, sorry...
