tracker issue : CF-3042251

Problem:

If you do HQL against a column that does not exist, or use the wrong case, you get a NPE error. The error should be more clear.  Here is my blog entry with some examples: http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2010/9/24/Null-Pointer-Error-with-HQL-Check-for-this
Method:


Result:
