Running against openjpa 1.2, I got the same error as you did. Apparently, this problem is fixed
in the trunk code.

Hi,
        I tried the following using openjpa trunk, and it works fine. I will try it using
openjpa 1.2. 

Query q =
            em.createQuery("Select m from Manager m, IN (m.employees) emps where emps = :emp");
        Employee emp = new Employee();
        emp.setId(1);
        q.setParameter("emp", emp);


-Fay

Subject: Unexpected ArgumentException using 'IN' operator

Hi,

I'm having trouble using the IN operator in OpenJPA 1.2.1.

In my application, I have an entity named 'Entry', which has a many to many relationship to
itself on a 'parentEntries' field. Here is the (simplified) code for this entity :

@Entity
public class Entry implements Serializable {

   @Id
   private Long id;

   @ManyToMany
   @JoinTable
   private List<Entry> parentEntries;

   /* ... getters and setters ... */

}


I'm trying to retrieve all entities which parentEntries contains any given entry (passed as
argument to my query). Here is the query:

SELECT entry FROM Entry AS entry, IN (entry.parentEntries) AS parent WHERE parent = :entry


This query fails on execution, with an ArgumentException :
<openjpa-1.2.1-r752877:753278 nonfatal user error> org.apache.openjpa.persistence.ArgumentException:
The parameter "entry" is of type "com.aperigeek.jtentative.entity.Entry", but the declaration
in the query is for type "java.util.List"
       at org.apache.openjpa.persistence.QueryImpl.validateParameter(QueryImpl.java:287)
       at org.apache.openjpa.persistence.QueryImpl.validateParameters(QueryImpl.java:274)
       at org.apache.openjpa.persistence.QueryImpl.execute(QueryImpl.java:248)
       at org.apache.openjpa.persistence.QueryImpl.getResultList(QueryImpl.java:294)
       ...

This query works fine with other persistence provider (the above code has been successfully
tested with Toplink).

Am I missing something here? I saw in an old bug report (#OPENJPA-190) someone having the
same difficulties.
Could this be an OpenJPA bug?

Thanks,
