oracle hints are treated as comments

[Guido García Bernardo]

Hi,

I'm using ibatis sql maps 2.1.5 + Oracle 8, defining the following query
statement:

<statement ...>
   SELECT --+RULE
      id, name, email
      from ...
</statement>

The SQL that follows the hint is interpreted as a comment. Thus I get:

Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00936: missing expression

It works fine when I remove the hint.
Is ibatis removing line breaks? I think this is a bug or at least an
undesired behaviour in my case. Is there any workaround or idea?

Thank you very much,
