JPQL /* ... */ comments in @Query fail to parse when migrating from Spring Boot 3.3.5 to Spring Boot 3.5.5 / Spring Data JPA (HQL parser mismatch on /) #3997
Description
Affected versions: Spring Boot 3.5.5 (Spring Data JPA aligned), Hibernate 6.6.26.Final
Last known good: Spring Boot 3.3.5 (same code works)
Summary
Repository methods annotated with @Query that include JPQL-style /* ... */ comments no longer parse in 3.5.x. Startup fails with a Hibernate HQL grammar error at the first / token. In 3.3.5 the same query worked.
Sample repository
Minimal repro: https://github.com/Rapirys/spring-data-jpa-issue
Steps to reproduce
- Clone repo.
- Run with Boot 3.5.5:
./gradlew clean run→ fails during repository initialization. - Change Boot to 3.3.5 in
build.gradle, re-run → starts OK.
Code causing the issue
