Conversion of SQL Left Outer Join Query to JPA Criteria - java

I have the following native SQL query that I am trying to convert to JPA criteria:
select et.* from t_empl_tx et, t_dept d
where et.assigned_dept = d.dept (+)
and et.employee_id = :employee_id
and (et.start_date >= d.dept_est_date and
et.start_date <= d.dept_close_date or
et.start_date is null or
d.dept is null)
(Note that (+) is roughly equivalent to a left outer join in this case. Yes, I know it denotes the OPTIONAL table, etc, etc).
Here is my attempt at the code:
EntityManager entityManager = getEntityManager();
CriteriaBuilder criteriaBuilder = entityManager.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<EmployeeTransaction> criteriaQuery = criteriaBuilder.createQuery(EmployeeTransaction.class);
Root<EmployeeTransaction> root = criteriaQuery.from(EmployeeTransaction.class);
// this line bombs!
Join<EmployeeTransaction, Department> join =
root.join(EmployeeTransaction_.assignedDepartment).join(Department_.id).join(DepartmentCompositeId_.department, JoinType.LEFT);
List<Predicate> predicates = new ArrayList<>();
predicates.add(criteriaBuilder.equal(root.get(EmployeeTransaction_.id).get(EmployeeTransactionCompositeId_.employeeId), employeeId));
predicates.add(criteriaBuilder.or(
criteriaBuilder.and(
criteriaBuilder.greaterThanOrEqualTo(root.<Date>get(EmployeeTransaction_.requestedStartDate), join.get(Department_.id).<Date>get(DepartmentCompositeId_.departmentCreationDate)),
criteriaBuilder.lessThanOrEqualTo(root.<Date>get(EmployeeTransaction_.requestedStartDate), join.<Date>get(Department_.departmentCloseDate))
),
criteriaBuilder.isNull(root.get(EmployeeTransaction_.requestedStartDate)),
criteriaBuilder.isNull(join.get(Department_.id).get(DepartmentCompositeId_.departmentCreationDate))
));
criteriaQuery.select(root).where(predicates.toArray(new Predicate[]{}));
TypedQuery<EmployeeTransaction> query = entityManager.createQuery(criteriaQuery);
List<EmployeeTransaction> result = query.getResultList();
This issue seems to be that I'm trying to join a string column, assigedDepartment, to a single field of a composite ID. This is perfectly legal in SQL, but not so easy in the code.
One option is to convert to a number of subqueries, which seems to kill the point of the left outer join entirely.
Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong?

You should post your entities so that the answers can be more specific.
However, I'll give a try.
If I am right, you can rewrite the query:
select et.*
from t_empl_tx et
left join t_dept d on et.assigned_dept = d.dept
where
et.employee_id = :employee_id
and (
et.start_date >= d.dept_est_date
and et.start_date <= d.dept_close_date
or et.start_date is null
or d.dept is null)
So, shortly, you have to move the JoinType.LEFT to assignedDepartment join:
EntityManager entityManager = getEntityManager();
CriteriaBuilder criteriaBuilder = entityManager.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<EmployeeTransaction> criteriaQuery = criteriaBuilder.createQuery(EmployeeTransaction.class);
Root<EmployeeTransaction> root = criteriaQuery.from(EmployeeTransaction.class);
Join<EmployeeTransaction, Department> department = root.join(EmployeeTransaction_.assignedDepartment, JoinType.LEFT);
Path<Date> employeeTransactionRequestedStartDate = root.get(EmployeeTransaction_.requestedStartDate);
Path<DepartmentCompositeId> departmentId = department.get(Department_.id);
Path<Date> departmentCreationDate = departmentId.get(DepartmentCompositeId_.departmentCreationDate)
Path<Date> departmentCloseDate = departmentId.get(DepartmentCompositeId_.departmentCloseDate)
criteriaQuery.select(root).where(
criteriaBuilder.equal(root.get(EmployeeTransaction_.id).get(EmployeeTransactionCompositeId_.employeeId), employeeId),
criteriaBuilder.or(
criteriaBuilder.and(
criteriaBuilder.greaterThanOrEqualTo(employeeTransactionRequestedStartDate, departmentCreationDate)),
criteriaBuilder.lessThanOrEqualTo(employeeTransactionRequestedStartDate, departmentCloseDate)
),
criteriaBuilder.isNull(employeeTransactionRequestedStartDate),
criteriaBuilder.isNull(departmentCreationDate)
)
);
TypedQuery<EmployeeTransaction> query = entityManager.createQuery(criteriaQuery);
List<EmployeeTransaction> result = query.getResultList();

How to join an entity with custom select using CriteriaBuilder

I have a scenario where I need to get the row with maximum date. The SQL query for this would be
SELECT c.*
FROM course c
INNER JOIN
(SELECT moduleId ,MAX(endDate) AS max_date
FROM course
WHERE moduleId = 12345
GROUP BY moduleId
) customSelect
ON customSelect.moduleId = c.moduleId AND c.endDate = customSelect.max_date
WHERE c.moduleId = 12345
I need to convert this query to JPA using CriteriaBuilder.Since this isn't a direct entity join, rather a selection join to root entity, I'm having trouble to figure out how to join the custom select part to the root entity Course with below syntax:
CriteriaBuilder builder = session.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<Course> criteriaQuery = builder.createQuery(Course.class);
Root<Course> root = criteriaQuery.from(Course.class);
And then how to root.join(JoinType.INNER) to join customSelect part?
If someone can show some pointers to the syntax of of joining the root to a custom selection, that would be great.
Try this
CriteriaBuilder builder = session.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<Course> criteriaQuery = builder.createQuery(Course.class);
Root<Course> root = criteriaQuery.from(Course.class);
criteriaQuery.select(root).where(cb.equal(root.get(Course_.moduleId), 12345));
criteriaQuery.orderBy(cb.desc(r.get(Course_.endDate)));
TypedQuery<Course> query = em.createQuery(criteriaQuery);
query.setMaxResult(1);
Course result = query.getSingleResult();

How to add filter on second table parameter while doing left join using criteriaquery

I am stuck in a situation where I am not able to create a filter on left join between two table.
My query is something like this.
select count(*)
from orders o
left
join payments p
on o.id = p.o_id
where o.uid_id = 1
and p.name = "abc"
I am trying to do left join using criteria query. In criteria query.
CriteriaBuilder cb = entityManager.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<Orders> query = cb.createQuery(Orders.class);
Root<Orders> ordersRoot = query.from(Orders.class);
Join<Orders, Payments> join = ordersRoot.join(JOIN_COLUMN, JoinType.LEFT);
List<Predicate> predicates = new ArrayList<>();
predicates.addAll(getPredicates(cb, ordersRoot)); //this method gives other predicates on order table
query.where(predicates.toArray(new Predicate[predicates.size()]));
query.select(ordersRoot).distinct(true);
TypedQuery<Orders> query = entityManager.createQuery(criteriaQuery);
List<Orders> list = query.getResultList();
This is my criteria Java code.
In this I have not added for this check.
orders and payments table has one to many relationship.

Build criteria query with joins and custom parameters

I need to build following query using JPA and criteria query but I stuck on join conditions. The query is:
SELECT p.*
FROM output cu
JOIN user ur ON cu.id = ur.id AND cu.key = ur.key
JOIN product p ON cu.id = p.id AND cu.key = p.key
WHERE p.refreshtimestamp IS NOT NULL AND cu.active = true
So far I have following, but how to apply join conditions:
CriteriaBuilder cb = entityManager.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<Output> cq = cb.createQuery(Output.class);
Root<Output> output= cq.from(Output.class);
Join<Output, User> user = output.join("user", JoinType.INNER);
Join<User, Product> product = user.join("product", JoinType.INNER);
Any help will be appreciated
Following should help.
CriteriaBuilder builder = entityManager.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<Product> criteria = builder.createQuery(Product.class);
Root<Output> outputRoot = criteria.from(Output.class);
Root<User> userRoot = criteria.from(User.class);
Root<Product> productRoot = criteria.from(Product.class);
Predicate[] predictes = {
builder.equal(outputRoot.get("id"), userRoot.get("key")),
builder.equal(productRoot.get("id"), userRoot.get("key")),
builder.notEqual(productRoot.get("refreshtimestamp"), null), // not sure about null
builder.equal(outputRoot.get("active"), true)
};
criteria.select(productRoot);
criteria.where(builder.and(predicates));
Although this would produce cross joins query, it will work because of where clause making it work like inner join as you require.

Criteria API count from grouped count

I have a problem with Criteria API (JPA 2.0). I want to write code which returns the same result as query (select count from (select count from ... group by ...)):
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM (
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM a
LEFT JOIN p ON a.id = p.a_id
LEFT JOIN s ON a.id = s.a_id
WHERE ... GROUP BY s.r_id
)
I wrote something like this:
CriteriaBuilder builder = slave.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<Long> query = builder.createQuery(Long.class);
Subquery<Long> subquery = query.subquery(Long.class);
Root<A> entity = subquery.from(A.class);
Join<A, P> pJoin = entity.join("p", JoinType.LEFT);
Join<A, S> sJoin = entity.join("s", JoinType.LEFT);
subquery.select(builder.count(entity));
subquery.where(/*where predicate*/);
subquery.groupBy(sJoin.get("r"));
query.select(builder.count(subquery));
Long result = slave.createQuery(query).getSingleResult();
But I get the exception:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: No criteria query roots were specified
What am I doing wrong here?

JPA 2 + Criteria API

Employee (table)
id - int
ctd_id - int
message - char
SELECT a.*
FROM Employee a left outer join
( select * from Employee where message = 23 ) b
on a.ctd_id = b.ctd_id
where a.message = 22 and b.id is null;
This is what i tried
CriteriaBuilder cb = entityManager.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<Employee> criteria = cb.createQuery(Employee.class);
Root<Employee> emp = criteria.from(Employee.class);
CriteriaQuery<Employee> sq = c.select(emp);
Subquery<Employee> sq2 = criteria.subquery(Employee.class);
Root<Employee> emp2 = sq2.from(Employee.class);
Join<Employee,Employee> sqEmp = emp2.join("ctd_id", JoinType.LEFT);
sq.select(sqemp).where(cb.equal(emp2.get("message"), cb.parameter(String.class, "23")));
sq.where(cb.in(path).value(sq2));
TypedQuery<Employee> q = em.createQuery(criteria);
List<Employee> employeess = q.getResultList()
But, i am not able to understand as to how i should apply a join on a subquery with where clause.
please help .
JPA does not support sub-queries in the FROM clause.
Either use SQL for your query, or rewrite it not to have a sub-query in the from clause, it doesn't look like you need it.
