Recover a list of entities with related entities while omitting some fields using JPQL or criteria API

I have three entities: A, B, C
#Data
#Builder
#NoArgsConstructor
#AllArgsConstructor
#Entity
public class A {
private long id;
private String secret;
#Builder.Default
#Valid
#OneToMany(mappedBy = "a", fetch = FetchType.EAGER, cascade = CascadeType.ALL, orphanRemoval = true)
#Fetch(value = FetchMode.SUBSELECT)
private List<B> bList = new LinkedList<>();
}
#Data
#Builder
#NoArgsConstructor
#AllArgsConstructor
#Entity
public class B {
#JoinColumn
private A a;
private long id;
private String secret;
#Builder.Default
#Valid
#OneToMany(mappedBy = "b", fetch = FetchType.EAGER, cascade = CascadeType.ALL, orphanRemoval = true)
#Fetch(value = FetchMode.SUBSELECT)
private List<C> cList = new LinkedList<>();
}
#Data
#Builder
#NoArgsConstructor
#AllArgsConstructor
#Entity
public class C {
#JoinColumn
private B b;
private long id;
private String secret;
}
I would like to recover the values from the DB EXCEPT the "secret" where the id of A belongs to a List of ids. I do not want the secret of either A, B or C to be requested from the DB. (in reality the data is much more complex, and the fields I don't want take too much time to be fetched from the database).
I've been trying to create such a query using JPQL or the Criteria API, but without success, I am unable to get even a list of B without the secrets.
For example in JPQL:
Query query = entityManager.createQuery
("SELECT a " +
"FROM A a where a.id in :aIds");
query.setParameter("aIds", aIds);
This will work, but unfortunately it also requests the secret of A, B and C.
What I want instead would be something like (this code obviously does not work):
Query query = entityManager.createQuery
("SELECT a.id, a.bList.id, a.bList.cList.id" +
"FROM A a where a.id in :aIds");
query.setParameter("aIds", aIds);
I cannot change the entities (besides adding new constructors or methods) as they are used elsewhere and in other queries.
Is that even possible?

You can create dto class with fields you need and populate it. The problem is that database query is able to return plain result only. Persistence provider can convert it to entities. As for dto you have to solve the problem yourself.
You can get List<Object[]> as query result
select a.id, b.id, c.id
from A a join a.bList b join b.cList c
where a.id in(:aIds)
Then you should convert query result to dto

How to avoid unwanted queries with Hibernate?

I want to make a query against an entity , called Utilisateur :
#Override
#Transactional
public List<Utilisateur> list() {
String hql = "from Utilisateur where deleted is null or deleted <> 1";
Query query = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().createQuery(hql);
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
List<Utilisateur> listUser = (List<Utilisateur>) query.list();
return listUser;
}
#Entity
#Table(name = "utilisateur")
public class Utilisateur {
#Id
#SequenceGenerator(name="s_utilisateur", sequenceName="s_utilisateur", allocationSize=1)
#GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator="s_utilisateur")
#Column(name = "user_code")
private Long code;
#Column(name = "user_nom")
private String nom;
#Column(name = "user_prenom")
private String prenom;
#Column(name = "user_login")
private String login;
#ManyToOne
#JoinColumn(name = "struct_code")
private Structure structure;
...
}
As you can see there is the attribute structure of type Structure. So here is the entity Structure :
#Entity
#Table(name = "structure")
public class Structure {
#Id()
#Column(name="struct_code")
private String code;
#ManyToOne
#JoinColumn(name = "str_struct_code")
private Structure parent;
#ManyToOne
#JoinColumn(name="niv_struct_code")
private NiveauStructure niveauStructure;
#ManyToMany(fetch = FetchType.EAGER, mappedBy = "structures")
#JsonBackReference
private Set<Cdmt> programmes = new HashSet<Cdmt>();
#Column(name="struct_lib")
private String lib;
...
}
Again there is the attribute programmes , here is its code :
#Entity
#Table(name = "cdmt")
public class Cdmt {
#Id
#Column(name = "cdmt_code")
private String code;
#ManyToOne
#JoinColumn(name = "class_cdmt_code")
private ClasseCdmt classeCdmt;
#Column(name="cdmt_design")
#Lob
private String lib;
#ManyToOne
#JoinColumn(name = "prog_code")
private Pmo pmo;
#ManyToMany(fetch = FetchType.EAGER, cascade = CascadeType.MERGE)
#JoinTable(name = "programme_structure" , joinColumns = {#JoinColumn(name = "cdmt_code")} , inverseJoinColumns = {#JoinColumn(name = "struct_code")} )
#JsonManagedReference
private Set<Structure> structures = new HashSet<Structure>();
#ManyToOne
#JoinColumn(name = "cdm_cdmt_code")
private Cdmt cdmtParent;
...
}
At runtime there are many queries involved displayed in the console , among those queries there are queries against the Pmo entity although there is no mention about that entity in the query ! So how to avoid this propagations of queries ?
update :
here is query trace in the console :

I had the same problem. I'm using SqlResultSetMapping.
The point of SqlResultSetMapping is to defined custom mapping for NamedNativeQuery.
With SqlResultSetMapping, you can either use :
EntityResult to map the result of a query to an Entity object
ConstructorResult to map the result of a query to "non-entity" object with the contructor
ColumnResult
Example with ConstructorResult
Let's say we have a very complex entity ComplexObject with many relations to other objects.
#Entity
#Table(name = "complex_object")
public class ComplexObject {
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
#Basic(optional = false)
#Column(name = "id_complex_object")
private Integer id;
#Column(name = "label")
private String label;
// More relations...
}
I want a query to retrieve only the id and the label of this entity.
In ComplexObject, I define a new NamedNativeQuery as following.
#NamedNativeQueries({
#NamedNativeQuery(name = "ComplexObject.getIdAndLabel", query = "SELECT co.id_complex_object, co.label FROM complex_object", resultSetMapping = "SimpleObject")
})
The important part of this NamedNativeQuery is the resultSetMapping = "SimpleObject".
Then I can define a SimpleObject that is not a entity and match my query as following :
public class SimpleObject {
private Integer id;
private String label;
/**
* This constructor is very important !
* Its signature has to match the SqlResultSetMapping defined in the entity class.
* Otherwise, an exception will occur.
*/
public SimpleObject(Integer id, String label) {
this.id = id;
this.label = label;
}
// Getters and setters...
}
Then I can define the SqlResultSetMapping in ComplexObject as following :
#SqlResultSetMappings({
#SqlResultSetMapping(name = "SimpleObject", classes = {
#ConstructorResult(targetClass = SimpleObject.class, columns = {
#ColumnResult(name = "id_complex_object", type = Integer.class),
#ColumnResult(name = "label", type = String.class)
})
})
})
It's done.
The NamedNativeQuery will use SimpleObject SqlResultSetMapping to construct a SimpleObject (throught the constructor) so your query returns a SimpleObject instead of ComplexObject.

Try adding attribute fetch=FetchType.LAZY to the #ManyToOne on Structure object of Utilisateur entity class.
Since ManyToOne relations are eagerly loaded. I think it is trying to load Structure entity in a new SELECT statement. And this is causing entities with in Structure to be loaded further.
So adding fetch=FetchType.LAZY on Structure should prevent the initial SELECT query of Structure and thus the subsequent entities mapped in the Structure entity.
UPDATE
In the above statements, the assumption you don't want to populate Structure object as you fetch Utilisateur object. If that is not the case, then you can move the FetchType.LAZY further down the association chain. Say you want to fetch Structure but not its related entities like parent etc, then you can move FetchType.LAZY to those annotation (ManyToOne etc).
Note that with the HQL you are using from Utilisateur where deleted is null or deleted <> 1 with no joins it will by default fire a new SELECT query to fetch those LAZY associations by default. And if you want to fetch with single (or lesser number of) query that with joins you need to update your HQL to use JOIN FETCH queries.
One common issue we usually encounter is a scenario where we don't want to fetch an association, but somewhere in the toString method we navigate the associations start printing them and resulting in the LazyInitializationException.

Workaround for HHH-2772 (hibernate querydsl)

I'm trying to perform a query to find cars by their foo property. The properties are stored in a different table.
I have two classes
#Embeddable
#Table(name = "PROPERTY")
public class Property {
#Column(name = "type", nullable = false)
private String type;
#Column(name = "string_value", nullable = true)
private String stringValue;
...
}
#Entity
#Table(name = "CAR")
public class Car {
#Id
...
private String id;
#ElementCollection(fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
#Fetch(FetchMode.SUBSELECT)
#CollectionTable(name = "PROPERTY", joinColumns = #JoinColumn(name = "car_ID") )
private Set<Property> properties = new HashSet<Property>();
...
}
I'm trying to perform a query
QueryDsl:
.from(car)
.leftJoin(car.properties, foo)
.on(foo.type.eq("foo"))
.where(predicate)
Resulting HQL:
select
car
from
com....Car car
left join
car.properties as foo with foo.type = :a1
where
...
This doesn't work because of: https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-2772
Before that, it was possible to write HQL:
SELECT cat FROM Cat cat LEFT JOIN cat.kittens as kitten WITH kitten.owner=:owner
Now the HQL is raising an exception:
org.hibernate.hql.ast.InvalidWithClauseException: with clause can only reference columns in the driving table
Workaround is to explicitly use primary key (ownerId):
SELECT cat FROM Cat cat LEFT JOIN cat.kittens as kitten WITH kitten.owner.ownerId=:ownerId
The problem is that I don't have the ownerId, or an owner, since it's an element collection.
If I were to turn the element collection into a #oneToMany #manyToOne, the property could not longer be embeddable and would require an id. This is not an option. (I can't define a composite ID (this is a requirement), and I don't want to add a new column )
What do you recommend?
Is it possible to add the Car or Car Id as a field into an embaddable class?
Can I create the criteria in a different way?
I'm interested in any workaround that doesn't require database changes. (Hibernate changes or ok)
Thank you

hibernate createAlias with clause generates wrong query

I have the following tables:
A: id
B: id, text
AB: aID, bID
I want to joib A and B where B.text contains the word 'cat'.
This is the hibernate query I do:
Criteria c = session.createCriteria(TableA.class, "A");
c.createAlias("A.bs", "B", JoinType.INNER_JOIN, Restrictions.like("b.text", "%cat%"));
c.setProjection(Projections.property("id"));
The generated query is:
Select id
FROM A a
INNER JOIN AB ab ON a.id=ab.aID AND (b.text like ?)
INNER JOIN B b ON b.id=ab.bID AND (b.text like ?)
For some reason AND (b.text like ?) appears in both inner joins. I far as I understand its supposed to be only in the second on.
This causes the following exception:
java.sql.SQLException: No value specified for parameter 2
I guess it's happening because it has only one parameters and two '?'.
What am I missing?
EDIT:
Adding the persistent classes:
#Entity
#Table(name="A")
Class A {
#Id
#Column(name="id", length=255)
protected String id;
#OneToMany
#JoinTable(name="AB", joinColumns = #JoinColumn( name="aID"), inverseJoinColumns = #JoinColumn( name="bID"))
#LazyCollection(LazyCollectionOption.FALSE)
protected List<B> bs;
}
#Entity
#Table(name="B")
Class B {
#Id
#Column(name="id", length=255)
protected String id;
#Column(name="text", length=255)
protected String text;
}

I think you need to create an alias
c.createAlias("A.bs", "b", JoinType.INNER_JOIN, Restrictions.like("b.text", "%cat%"));
Updated
I think It is a Hibernate bug. You can fix it by using a restriction in the where clause
c.createAlias("A.bs", "b", JoinType.INNER_JOIN);
c.add(Restrictions.like("b.text", "%cat%"));
or don't use join table and do association by foreign key in B.

Hibernate Criteria Left Excluding JOIN

I have no ideas how to do it using Hibernate Criteria
SELECT *
FROM Table_A A
LEFT JOIN Table_B B
ON A.Key = B.Key
WHERE B.Key IS NULL
there is Hibernate mapping like
#Entity
class A{
#Id
#Column(name = "ID")
private String ID;
... // fields
}
#Entity
class B{
... // fields
#OneToOne(fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
#JoinColumn(name = "A_ID", referencedColumnName = "ID")
#Cascade(CascadeType.DETACH)
private A a;
... // fields
}
So I need to get list of all A which are not referred by B

Not tried it before, but something like this should work:
select * from Table_A a
where a not in (
select b.a from Table_B b )
This is of course in HQL
Criteria might look like this:
DetachedCriteria subquery = DetachedCriteria.forClass(B.class)
.setProjection( Property.forName("a.ID") )
.add(Restrictions.isNotNull("a.ID"));
session.createCriteria(A.class)
.add ( Property.forName("ID").notIn(subquery) )
.list();
