Question

I have a query

select ... from x join y on ..
where ... and :age between y.min and y.max

But when executing the query with hibernate i receive

org.hibernate.QueryParameterException: could not locate named parameter [age]

What is wrong?

Answer 1

Since you haven’t posted the actual query, my inference from your snippet is that you have the :age parameter in the wrong place in the query. The syntax for a query’s where clause is column_name operator value so what you should have in place of :age is the actual column name of one of your tables. What you are probably trying to do is y.min >= :age and y.max <=:age.
