    Hi again,

    I´ve been doing some debugging and I think I have found the root of the problem. In order to do the following debugs I had to edit the mapping file manually (because the modeler hangs).

    We have to take into account that a query statement for a column "mail.host" of the table "account" like "SELECT t0.mail.host, t0.others FROM account t0" will fail, and it must be queried like "SELECT t0.`mail.host`, t0.others FROM account t0".
        
    I launched a simple test and it failed with this exception:

    INFO QueryLogger: *** error.
    org.apache.cayenne.exp.ExpressionException: [v.2.0.4 October 8 2007] Can't resolve path component: [account.mail].
        at org.apache.cayenne.map.Entity$PathIterator.next(Entity.java:363)
        at org.apache.cayenne.access.trans.SelectTranslator.appendQueryColumns(SelectTranslator.java:377)
        at org.apache.cayenne.access.trans.SelectTranslator.buildResultColumns(SelectTranslator.java:338)
        at org.apache.cayenne.access.trans.SelectTranslator.createSqlString(SelectTranslator.java:113)
        at org.apache.cayenne.dba.mysql.MySQLSelectTranslator.createSqlString(MySQLSelectTranslator.java:31)
        at org.apache.cayenne.access.trans.QueryAssembler.createStatement(QueryAssembler.java:95)
    [...]

    The problem there was a StringTokenizer in org.apache.cayenne.map.Entity (line 331) which in method next() thinks that the dot of "mail.host" is another token so it treats it like two attributes instead of one. Changing manually the variable on debug mode and changing back again after the tokenizer, it finally forms the SQL statement, but the bad one, so again we get an exception:

    com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Unknown column 't0.mail.host' in 'field list'
        at com.mysql.jdbc.SQLError.createSQLException(SQLError.java:1026)
        at com.mysql.jdbc.SQLError.createSQLException(SQLError.java:956)
        at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.checkErrorPacket(MysqlIO.java:3515)
        at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.checkErrorPacket(MysqlIO.java:3447)
        at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.sendCommand(MysqlIO.java:1951)
        at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.sqlQueryDirect(MysqlIO.java:2101)
        at com.mysql.jdbc.ConnectionImpl.execSQL(ConnectionImpl.java:2554)
        at com.mysql.jdbc.PreparedStatement.executeInternal(PreparedStatement.java:1761)
    [..]

    A search for the root of this exception lead me to org.apache.cayenne.access.trans.SelectTranslator, where the ArrayList "colums" gets filled and there it is the ColumnDescriptor for our column, and the qualifiedColumnName is "t0.mail.host", which of course won´t work. Changing it to "t0.`mail.host`" builds the correct SELECT statement and finally works.
        
    Is this a bug or am I missing something?
