Java JPA - Inner Join Query doesn't work

I'm currently having an issue using Java JPA with EclipseLink - this query:

SELECT  VAR_INPUT.*
FROM VAR_INPUT
INNER JOIN TYPE_VAR_INPUT
ON VAR_INPUT.ID_TYPE_VAR_INPUT = TYPE_VAR_INPUT.ID_TYPE_VAR_INPUT
WHERE TYPE_VAR_INPUT.IS_MANDATORY_TYPE_VAR_INPUT=true;

is working fine when run directly on my database, but doesn't work when I use it with JPA.

JPA Query:

@NamedQuery(name = "VarInput.findAVarInputllOfMandatoryType", 
            query = "SELECT v "
                    + "FROM VarInput v "
                    + "INNER JOIN TypeVarInput t "
                    + "ON v.ID_TYPE_VAR_INPUT = t.ID_TYPE_VAR_INPUT "
                    + "WHERE t.isMandatoryTypeVarInput=:isMandatoryTypeVarInput"),

When I execute it in my Java application, I get the following error: "The field [VAR_INPUT.ID_VAR_INPUT] in this expression has an invalid table in this context."

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" Local Exception Stack: 
Exception [EclipseLink-6069] (Eclipse Persistence Services - 2.5.2.v20140319-9ad6abd): org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.QueryException

    at org.eclipse.persistence.internal.expressions.FieldExpression.validateNode(FieldExpression.java:296)

My tables looks like that:

Table VAR_INPUT(ID_VAR_INPUT, NAME_VAR_INPUT, ID_TYPE_VAR_INPUT)
Table TYPE_VAR_INPUT(ID_TYPE_VAR_INPUT, NAME_TYPE_VAR_INPUT, IS_MANDATORY_VAR_INPUT)
"VAR_INPUT ManyToOne TYPE_VAR_INPUT"

Do you have any idea of why this happens?

You don't use inner join in JQPL like that, you join on entity fields. I'm guessing now since you didn't provide entity code, but try this

@NamedQuery(name = "VarInput.findAVarInputllOfMandatoryType", 
            query = "SELECT v "
                    + "FROM VarInput v "
                    + "join v.type t "
                    + "WHERE t.isMandatoryTypeVarInput=:isMandatoryTypeVarInput")

In this case you don't even need to join, you can simplify the query to this (inner join is implicitly used)

@NamedQuery(name = "VarInput.findAVarInputllOfMandatoryType", 
            query = "SELECT v "
                    + "FROM VarInput v "
                    + "WHERE v.type.isMandatoryTypeVarInput=:isMandatoryTypeVarInput")
