Что случилось с этим HQL? "Нет типа данных для node"

session.createQuery("Select attribute from GoodsSection tgs " +
    "join gs.ascendants ags join ags.attributes attribute " +
    "where attribute.outerId = :outerId and tgs = :section ")
.setString("outerId", pOuterId)
.setEntity("section", section)
.setMaxResults(1)
.uniqueResult();

Выглядит хорошо, но результат

java.lang.IllegalStateException: No data type for node: org.hibernate.hql.ast.tree.IdentNode 
 \-[IDENT] IdentNode: 'attribute' {originalText=attribute}

Почему? Что не так?
