FROM clause of query has class XXX but no alias

Question

In my GAE project I started with JPA 1.0 and this code worked great:

    Query query = em.createQuery("SELECT FROM MyImage " +
                                 "WHERE m_Email = :email " +
                                 "And m_Password = :password ", MyImage.class);
    query.setParameter("email", email);
    query.setParameter("password", password);

But now that I working with JPA 2.0 I get:

FROM clause of query has class util.MyImage but no alias
org.datanucleus.store.query.QueryCompilerSyntaxException: FROM clause of query has class util.MyImage but no alias

I manged to get it work with CriteriaQuery but the code is not readable and a little bit messy.

Any idea how to fix this exception?

I think you need to define an alias for your class like this:

Query query = em.createQuery("SELECT i FROM MyImage i " + 
                             "WHERE i.m_Email = :email " + 
                             "And i.m_Password = :password ", MyImage.class);
