Issue

While trying to include query hints in hibernate configuration an error message is logged when query is run:

server.log.18:org.hibernate.hql.ast.QuerySyntaxException: unexpected token: * near line 1, column 11 [select m /*+index (PK_COLUMN) */ from QueryHint q where q.id.date1 >= :initialDate and q.id.date2 <= :endDate and q.id.text  >= '' and q.number = :no]

This is the Query Configuration used:

<named-query name="queryWithQueryHints">
  <query>
    <![CDATA[
       select m /*+index (PK_COLUMN) */
       from QueryHint q
       where
          q.id.date1 >= :initialDate   and
          q.id.date2 <= :endDate       and
          q.id.text  >= ''             and
          q.number = :no
    ]]>
  </query>
</named-query>
