Solutions

1. Fix the property path in the query: the named property must exist on the named entity.
2. Check for typos and for properties renamed in the entity.

When it happens

Trigger: Thrown when property access (e.g. for a filter, fetch profile, or HQL path) names a property not defined on the entity.

Common situations: See trigger scenarios.
