I've seen lots of posts detailing how you can use database reserved words as identifiers using backticks. That's all good and dandy, but how can I use HQL reserved words (like "object") as an identifier?

I have a class with a property named "object", and I simply cannot change this class without an unreasonable amount of effort. How can I reference this property in HQL? I've tried alias.object, alias.'object', alias.`object` and alias.[object], to no avail.

This used to work in Hibernate 3.0, but stopped working in 3.2

Did you try changing the name of the getter/setter. That could help(but I havent tried that)

That would help, of course, but as I said above, I can't change this class without an unreasonable amount of work.
