when i use outer join am getting the following exception

org.hibernate.QueryException: outer or full join must be followed by path expression

any idea ???

How should we ever answer such stuff if you don't even give us the query you try to execute?

hi

example query for the above problem :

select dept0_.deptid as deptid0_, emps1_.empid as empid1_, dept0_.deptname as deptname0_, emps1_.empname as empname1_, emps1_.dept_deptid as dept_dep3_1_, emps1_.dept_deptid as dept_dep3___, emps1_.empid as empid__ from dept dept0_ left outer join emp emps1_ on dept0_.deptid=emps1_.dept_deptid where (dept0_.deptid=? )

here emp table contains dept_deptid as fk

i m also getting the same error as

net.sf.hibernate.QueryException: outer or full join must be followed by path expression [select dept0.deptid as deptid, emps.empid as empid, dept0.deptname as deptname, emps.empname as empname, emps.dept_deptid as emp_dept_depid, emps.dept_deptid as dept_dep3, emps1_.empid as empid from Dept dept0 left outer join Emp emps on dept0.deptid=emps.dept_deptid where (dept0.deptid='9')]

plz urgent reply to this
thnks
