Hi all,

Ran into a strange error recently.
I have a table "Enrollments" with a column "grade" which maps to an enum. I was trying to find all enrollments associated with one or more particular grades. Basic query looks something like:

SelectQuery q = new SelectQuery(Enrollment.class);
q.setQualifier(ExpressionFactory.inExp (Enrollment.GRADE_PROPERTY,Arrays.asList(Grade.FIRST,Grade.SECOND)));

I have a setup where all of my database-facing tests run against an in-memory hsql database. The above worked just fine there. However, when I ran the code via the application, which is backed by a mysql server (5.0.27), it returned no results. Everything looked fine when I turned on query logging... the queries in the test and in the app were identical. So I turned to the mysql query logs and found this (truncated to the relevant portions for clarity):

SELECT t0.grade, t0.id, t0.studentid FROM enrollments t0, students t1 WHERE t0.studentid = t1.dbid AND (t0.grade IN ('??\0~r\0! org.edkey.attendance.domain.Grade\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0xr \0java.lang.Enum\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0xpt\0FIRST', '??\0~r\0! org.edkey.attendance.domain.Grade\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0xr \0java.lang.Enum\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0xpt\0SECOND')))

This is using version 5.0.4 of the mysql-connector driver.

I changed my test for this particular piece of code to connect to the mysql-backed db with the same results as running "live".

Any thoughts? Am I doing something wrong? Seems odd that it works with hsqldb, but not mysql?

Robert
