Solutions

1. The domain path is illegal. Check that each path step exists on the previous type and that the root is a valid entity or identification variable.

When it happens

Trigger: A runtime precondition of the Hibernate query API is violated: Illegal domain path '" + ctx.getText() + "'

Common situations: Application code or configuration calls the query API in a way that violates its documented contract; the interpolated values in the message identify the offending input.
