LIKE and ESCAPING in JDBC Select Statement

Hello;

I am trying to use the JDBC LIKE escape clause with PG 8.4 and the PG 8.4 JDBC driver.

So far I have tried;

SELECT ... WHERE ... AND (t0.MESSAGE ILIKE ? {escape '|'}) LIMIT 50
SELECT ... WHERE ... AND (t0.MESSAGE ILIKE ?) {escape '|'} LIMIT 50
SELECT ... WHERE ... AND (t0.MESSAGE ILIKE ?) LIMIT 50 {escape '|'}

It seems that there is a problem with all of them.  If anybody has used this before and could give me some guidance,
thatwould be great. 

Regards;
