title: com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException in hibernate
body: <p>I am pretty new to hibernate and I am stuck at this exception. As far as my understanding is, this should not happen if my dialect is correct and I am quiet sure I am using the correct dialect i.e org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect, still I tried with org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLInnoDBDialect too but it still gives the same exception. I am using spring 3.1.0 with hibernate 3 and mysql 5. The dao function that is causing this error is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
  protected List&lt;T&gt; findByCriteria(Criterion... criterion) {
  
      Criteria crit = getSession().createCriteria(getPersistentClass())
              .addOrder(Order.asc(getDefaultProperty()));
      for (Criterion c : criterion) {
          crit.add(c);
      }
      List&lt;T&gt; critList=crit.list();
      return critList;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have searched a lot, and have pretty much hit a wall as to possible problems. So any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong>
  Full stacktrace</p>
  
  <p>I have enabled logging and posting the part that I think has the problem</p>
