The following is a query that isn't particularly useful, but it demonstrates what we perceive to be HQL failing. The actual query we want to run is a bit more complex, but when we whittled it down to something very basic it still fails.
The following fails:
Code:
session.createQuery(
"select P from Product P where 4 > (" +
"select (" +
"select count(U) from User U" +
")" +
" + count(PE) from Person PE" +
")"
).list()
The following works:
Code:
session.createQuery(
"select P from Product P where 4 > (" +
"select (" +
"1" +
")" +
" + count(PE) from Person PE" +
")"
).list()
By themselves these queries return the following:
Code:
session.createQuery("select count(U) from User U").uniqueResult()
returns 1
Code:
session.createQuery("select count(PE) from Person PE").uniqueResult()
returns 1
Our failing query above shows the following in console:
Code:

SEVERE: <AST>:0:0: unexpected AST node: query

Is this an issue in HQL or are we misunderstanding something about HQL? Has anyone seen a similar problem before?
