The query being attempted is from Item I where I.age > 10

There can't be an issue with the database connection, I am able to commit data to it with a problem.

What could be the cause of this issue and how could I solve it ?

Answer 1

I know this is an old one, nevertheless it comes out for several google searches. As per this question you are probably missing the corresponding ANTLR library jar file. I had the same problem as you, I downloaded the antlr-3.5.2-complete.jar from here and put it in my classpath. This version has both the antlr2 and antlr3 in it.
