Solutions

1. LockModeType cannot be applied to native queries.
2. Remove the lock mode hint, or use HQL/criteria queries, or express locking in SQL (e.g. FOR UPDATE).

When it happens

Trigger: An API operation is invoked on a query object that does not support it.

Common situations: Calling query hint, locking, pagination, conversion, or mutation APIs on a query kind (native vs HQL, select vs mutation) that does not implement them.
