Input parameters are designated by the question mark followed by a number; for example: ?2. Input parameters are numbered starting at 1 and correspond to the arguments of the finder or select method; therefore, a query must not contain an input parameter that exceeds the number of input arguments.
An input parameter can be a primitive type of byte, short, int, long, float, double, boolean, char or wrapper types of Byte, Short, Integer, Long, Float, Double, BigDecimal, String, Boolean, Char, java.util.Calendar, java.util.Date, java.sql.Date, java.sql.Time, java.sql.Timestamp, an EJBObject, or a binary data string in the form of Java byte[].
An input parameter must not have a NULL value. To search for the occurrence of a NULL value the NULL predicate should be used.
