Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

If EntityManager.createNativeQuery() is used with a parameter
like "SELECT * FROM USERS WHERE NAME LIKE 'x\y%'", then the
JDBC query will be created using expression "SELECT * FROM
USERS WHERE NAME LIKE 'xy%'", i.e. all slashes will be thrown
away from the query text.

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server V8.0.0, V8.5.0, and V8.5.5 who make  *
*                  use of of JPQL queries which contain        *
*                  slashes and parameters.                     *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Slashes (escpate charater) contained    *
*                      in JPQL queries will be removed from    *
*                      generated SQL.                          *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
Escape character in JPQL with parameter substitution generates
incorrect SQL.  For example, take the following JPQL strings:
"SELECT 'TRUE' AS VAL FROM DUAL WHERE '\\' = ?"
or
"SELECT * FROM USERS WHERE NAME LIKE 'x\y%'"
The '\\' will be transformed to '', and the 'x\y%' will
be transformed to 'xy%'.  Both wil cause an SQLException.

Problem conclusion

With this fix, code has been added to OpenJPA to properly
handle slashes and parameters.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for
inclusion in Service Levels (Fix Packs) 8.0.0.7 and
8.5.5.2 of WebSphere Application Server versions 8.0.0 and
8.5.5.
