How would I specify a JPA query like:

Query q = 
  em.createQuery(
    "SELECT x FROM org.SomeTable x WHERE x.someString LIKE '%:someSymbol%'"
  );

followed by:

q.setParameter("someSymbol", "someSubstring");

and not triggering a

org.hibernate.QueryParameterException: could not locate named parameter [id]

Much appreciated!

How about

Query q = 
  em.createQuery(
    "SELECT x FROM org.SomeTable x WHERE x.someString LIKE :someSymbol"
);
q.setParameter("someSymbol", "%someSubstring%");

I'm pretty sure I once solved your problem like that.
