HANA query with dynamic placeholder executed using jdbcTemplate in Spring Boot - spring-boot

Question

I have a few HANA queries that rely on PLACEHOLDER input. The input to this is currently hardcoded which is leading to SQL injection vulnerability being detected by Veracode.
In order to fix that, I am trying to parameterize the value given to PLACEHOLDER using PreparedStatement, but getting the below error :
PreparedStatementCallback; uncategorized SQLException for SQL [SELECT * FROM some_table (PLACEHOLDER.\"$$<IP_SOME_COLUMN>$$\" => ?) WHERE some_flag = ?; ]; SQL state [HY000]; error code [2048]; SAP DBTech JDBC: [2048]: column store error: search table error: [34023] Instantiation of calculation model failed;exception 306002: An internal error occurred\n; nested exception is com.sap.db.jdbc.exceptions.JDBCDriverException: SAP DBTech JDBC: [2048]: column store error: search table error: [34023] Instantiation of calculation model failed;exception 306002: An internal error occurred
I have already checked this solution and gone through the documentation for input parameters in SAP HANA. Below is my code :
String sqlQuery = SELECT * FROM some_table ( PLACEHOLDER.\"$$<IP_SOME_COLUMN>$$\" => ? ) WHERE some_flag = ? ;
PreparedStatementSetter preparedStatementSetter = (PreparedStatement ps) -> {
ps.setString(1, firstInput);
ps.setString(2, secondInput);
}
ResultSetExtractor<T> rse = new DataResultSetExtractor();
getJdbcTemplate().query(sqlQuery, preparedStatementSetter, rse);
The same works well with the hardcoded way (prone to SQL injection) :
StringBuffer sql = new StringBuffer();
sql.append("SELECT * FROM some_table ").append("( 'PLACEHOLDER' = ('$$IP_SOME_COLUMN$$',").append(firstColumnValue).append("))");
//Map<String,Object> paramMap = new HashMap<String,Object>();
//getNamedParameterJdbcTemplate().query(sql.toString(), paramMap, rse);
How do I fix this error?

Figured the issue out. It seems, in the new syntax you need to provide the input parameter in single quotes and not in triple single quotes
Works : 'foo'
Doesn't work : '''bar'''
