JPQL: navigation through embedded class field does not work
-----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: OPENJPA-461
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-461
             Project: OpenJPA
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: query
    Affects Versions: 0.9.7
         Environment: BEA WebLogic Server 10
            Reporter: Ajay Aggarwal


Hi Ajay Aggarwal,

I think your query is correct and should work. According to the Java Persistence query language BNF the expression following the keyword SET might be a state_field and state_field includes navigation through an
embedded:
state_field ::= {embedded_class_state_field.}*simple_state_field

I propose you file a JIRA issue.
