when I define a repository as:
Code:
public interface OrganizationRepository extends CrudRepository<Organization, Long> {

	@Query("select o.name from Organization o where o.name like :pattern ")
	List<String> findCompanyName(@Param("pattern") String name);
}
and invoke in controller:

Code:
@Controller
@RequestMapping("/organization")
public class OrganizationController {

	@Autowired
	private OrganizationRepository organizationRepository;

	@RequestMapping(value="/names", method=RequestMethod.GET)
	public @ResponseBody List<String> getCompanyNameList(@RequestParam String term) throws Exception{
		List<String> companyNames=organizationRepository.findCompanyName(term);
		
		return companyNames;
	}

}
at runtime, I get the a debug info like:
Code:
2012-02-18 16:35:40,763 DEBUG: select organizati0_.name as col_0_0_ from Organization organizati0_ where organizati0_.name like ? >>> org.hibernate.engine.jdbc.spi.SqlStatementLogger.logStatement(SqlStatementLogger.java:104)
Hibernate: select organizati0_.name as col_0_0_ from Organization organizati0_ where organizati0_.name like ?
and can't get the expected result?
I suppose the sql should be something like:
Code:
select organizati0_.name as col_0_0_ from Organization organizati0_ where organizati0_.name like 'abc'
where is the problem?
