I am trying to use named parameter in the where caluse using following
syntax:

int americaElementId = 106;
List invData = session.find("from ENT_ElementINV where element_id = :americaElementId ");

Compilation is ok, when executed I get following error:

Hibernate: select ent_elemen0_.id as id, ent_elemen0_.ELEMENT_ID as ELEMENT_ID,
ent_elemen0_.INV_DATE as INV_DATE, ent_elemen0_.INV_COUNT as INV_COUNT, ent_elem
en0_.LAST_CHANGED_USER as LAST_CHA5_, ent_elemen0_.LAST_CHANGED_DATE as LAST_CHA
6_ from Enterprise_Element_INV_History ent_elemen0_ where (element_id=? )
