Hi all,

I am using Hibernate 3, weblogic 8.1

my transaction code is


Session session = instance.sessionFactory.openSession();
Transaction tx = session.beginTransaction();
String newName="Jhon";
String oldName="Peter";

String hqlUpdate = "update Emp set ename = :newName where ename = :oldName and dept_id=8002";
int updatedEntities = session.createQuery( hqlUpdate )
.setString( "newName", newName )
.setString( "oldName", oldName )
.executeUpdate();
tx.commit();
session.close();


When i am using this from main() function it is working fine.

I am throwing an error when i use this code in weblogic server

My error is

Hibernate Exceptionorg.hibernate.QueryException: query must begin with SELECT or FROM:

Sure you don't have an Old version of hibernate on the applications servers classpath.

Also, make sure you are not using the "classic: parser; only the new antlr-based parser supports these statements.
