My project setting are Spring MVC, Hibernate 3.2.x, on MySQL DB
Getting the following error:
org.hibernate.QueryParameterException: could not locate named parameter email
Approach #1:
@Override public Boolean isExist(String email) {     boolean flag = false;       String hql = "from com.cmgr.beans.UserAccount u where u.email = :email";     List<UserAccount> result = currentSession().createQuery(hql)         .setParameter("email", email)         .list();      UserAccount userAccount = (UserAccount)result.get(0);     if (userAccount!=null && userAccount.getEmail().equalsIgnoreCase(email)) {         flag = true;     }      return flag; } Approach #2:
 @Override     public Boolean isExist(String email) {         boolean flag = false;         String hql = "from com.cmgr.beans.UserAccount u where u.email = :email";         List<UserAccount> result = currentSession().createQuery(hql).setString("email", email).list();          UserAccount userAccount = (UserAccount) result.get(0);         if (userAccount != null && userAccount.getEmail().equalsIgnoreCase(email)) {             flag = true;         }         return flag;     } Error:
