Following up on a question I posted yesterday: How to populate POJO class from custom Hibernate query?
Can someone show me an example of how to code the following SQL in Hibernate, and get the results correctly?
SQL:
select firstName, lastName
from Employee
What I'd like to do, if it's possible in Hibernate, is to put the results in their own base class:
class Results {
private firstName;
private lastName;
// getters and setters
}
I believe it's possible in JPA (using EntityManager), but I haven't figured out how to do it in Hibernate (using SessionFactory and Session).
I'm trying to learn Hibernate better, and even this "simple" query is proving confusing to know what form Hibernate returns the results, and how to map the results into my own (base) class. So at the end of the DAO routine, I'd do:
List<Results> list = query.list();
returning a List of Results (my base class).
select firstName, lastName from Employee
query.setResultTransformer(Transformers.aliasToBean(MyResults.class));
You can't use above code with Hibernate 5 and Hibernate 4 (at least Hibernate 4.3.6.Final), because of an exception
java.lang.ClassCastException: com.github.fluent.hibernate.request.persistent.UserDto cannot be cast to java.util.Map
at org.hibernate.property.access.internal.PropertyAccessMapImpl$SetterImpl.set(PropertyAccessMapImpl.java:102)
The problem is that Hibernate converts aliases for column names to upper case — firstName becomes FIRSTNAME. And it try to find a getter with name getFIRSTNAME(), and setter setFIRSTNAME() in the DTO using such strategies
PropertyAccessStrategyChainedImpl propertyAccessStrategy = new PropertyAccessStrategyChainedImpl(
PropertyAccessStrategyBasicImpl.INSTANCE,
PropertyAccessStrategyFieldImpl.INSTANCE,
PropertyAccessStrategyMapImpl.INSTANCE
);
Only PropertyAccessStrategyMapImpl.INSTANCE suits, in opinion of Hibernate, well. So after that it tries to do conversion (Map)MyResults.
public void set(Object target, Object value, SessionFactoryImplementor factory) {
( (Map) target ).put( propertyName, value );
}
Don't know, it is a bug or feature.
How to solve
Using aliases with quotes
public class Results {
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
}
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
}
}
String sql = "select firstName as \"firstName\",
lastName as \"lastName\" from Employee";
List<Results> employees = session.createSQLQuery(sql).setResultTransformer(
Transformers.aliasToBean(Results.class)).list();
Using a custom result transformer
Another way to solve the problem — using a result transformer that ignores method names case (treat getFirstName() as getFIRSTNAME()). You can write your own or use FluentHibernateResultTransformer. You will not need to use quotes and aliases (if you have column names equal to DTO names).
Just download the library from the project page (it doesn't need additional jars): fluent-hibernate.
String sql = "select firstName, lastName from Employee";
List<Results> employees = session.createSQLQuery(sql)
.setResultTransformer(new FluentHibernateResultTransformer(Results.class))
.list();
This transformer can be used for nested projections too: How to transform a flat result set using Hibernate
See AliasToBeanResultTransformer:
Result transformer that allows to transform a result to a user specified class which will be populated via setter methods or fields matching the alias names.
List resultWithAliasedBean = s.createCriteria(Enrolment.class)
.createAlias("student", "st")
.createAlias("course", "co")
.setProjection( Projections.projectionList()
.add( Projections.property("co.description"), "courseDescription" )
)
.setResultTransformer( new AliasToBeanResultTransformer(StudentDTO.class) )
.list();
StudentDTO dto = (StudentDTO)resultWithAliasedBean.get(0);
Your modified code:
List resultWithAliasedBean = s.createCriteria(Employee.class, "e")
.setProjection(Projections.projectionList()
.add(Projections.property("e.firstName"), "firstName")
.add(Projections.property("e.lastName"), "lastName")
)
.setResultTransformer(new AliasToBeanResultTransformer(Results.class))
.list();
Results dto = (Results) resultWithAliasedBean.get(0);
For native SQL queries see Hibernate documentation:
13.1.5. Returning non-managed entities
It is possible to apply a ResultTransformer to native SQL queries, allowing it to return non-managed entities.
sess.createSQLQuery("SELECT NAME, BIRTHDATE FROM CATS")
.setResultTransformer(Transformers.aliasToBean(CatDTO.class))
This query specified:
the SQL query string
a result transformer
The above query will return a list of CatDTO which has been instantiated and injected the values of NAME and BIRTHNAME into its corresponding properties or fields.
You need to use a constructor and in the hql use new. I let you the code example taken from this question: hibernate HQL createQuery() list() type cast to model directly
class Result {
private firstName;
private lastName;
public Result (String firstName, String lastName){
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
}
}
then your hql
select new com.yourpackage.Result(employee.firstName,employee.lastName)
from Employee
and your java (using Hibernate)
List<Result> results = session.createQuery("select new com.yourpackage.Result(employee.firstName,employee.lastName) from Employee").list();
YMMV but I've found that the key factor is you must make sure to alias every field in your SELECT clause with the SQL "AS" keyword. I've never had to use quotes around the alias names. Also, in your SELECT clause use the case and punctuation of the actual columns in your database and in the aliases use the case of the fields in your POJO. This has worked for me in Hibernate 4 and 5.
#Autowired
private SessionFactory sessionFactory;
...
String sqlQuery = "SELECT firstName AS firstName," +
"lastName AS lastName from Employee";
List<Results> employeeList = sessionFactory
.getCurrentSession()
.createSQLQuery(sqlQuery)
.setResultTransformer(Transformers.aliasToBean(Results.class))
.list();
If you have multiple tables you can use table aliases in the SQL as well. This contrived example with an additional table named "Department" uses more traditional lower case and underscores in database field names with camel case in the POJO field names.
String sqlQuery = "SELECT e.first_name AS firstName, " +
"e.last_name AS lastName, d.name as departmentName" +
"from Employee e, Department d" +
"WHERE e.department_id - d.id";
List<Results> employeeList = sessionFactory
.getCurrentSession()
.createSQLQuery(sqlQuery)
.setResultTransformer(Transformers.aliasToBean(Results.class))
.list();
java.lang.ClassCastException: "CustomClass" cannot be cast to java.util.Map.
This issue appears when the columns specified in SQL Query doesn't match with the columns of the mapping class.
It may be due to:
Non-matching casing of column name or
The column names are not matching or
column exist in query but missing in class.
JPQL case from hibernate 5.4:
Query<Employee> queryList = session.createQuery("select new xxx.xxx.Employee(e.firstName,e.lastName) from Employee e", Employee.class);
List<Employee> list = queryList.list();
Query<Long> queryCount = session.createQuery("select count(*) from Employee", Long.class);
Long count = queryCount.getSingleResult();
The select statement in JPQL is exactly the same as for HQL except that JPQL requires a select_clause, whereas HQL does not.
setResultTransformer #Deprecated It should not be used
more on Hibernate_User_Guide.html#hql-select
In case you have a native query, all answers here use deprecated methods for newer versions of Hibernate, so if you are using 5.1+ this is the way to go:
// Note this is a org.hibernate.query.NativeQuery NOT Query.
NativeQuery query = getCurrentSession()
.createNativeQuery(
"SELECT {y.*} , {x.*} from TableY y left join TableX x on x.id = y.id");
// This maps the results to entities.
query.addEntity("x", TableXEntity.class);
query.addEntity("y", TableYEntity.class);
query.list()
Below is a result transformer that ignores case:

Writing (exist this type of Challenges working with hibernate)
Custom Queries
Custom Queries with Optional Parameters
Mapping Hibernate Custom query results to Custom class.
I am not saying about custom EntityRepository interface which extends JpaRepository on SpringBoot which you can write custom Query with #Query -> here you can't write query with optional params
e.g. if param is null don't append it in query string. And you can use Criteria api of hibernate but it not recommended in their documentation because of performance issue...
But exist simple and error prone and performance good way...
Write your own QueryService class which are methods will get
string(answer for first and second problem) sql and will map result to
Custom class (third problem) with it's any association #OneToMany, #ManyToOne ....
#Service
#Transactional
public class HibernateQueryService {
private final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(HibernateQueryService.class);
private JpaContext jpaContext;
public HibernateQueryService(JpaContext jpaContext) {
this.jpaContext = jpaContext;
}
public List executeJPANativeQuery(String sql, Class entity){
log.debug("JPANativeQuery executing: "+sql);
EntityManager entityManager = jpaContext.getEntityManagerByManagedType(Article.class);
return entityManager.createNativeQuery(sql, entity).getResultList();
}
/**
* as annotation #Query -> we can construct here hibernate dialect
* supported query and fetch any type of data
* with any association #OneToMany and #ManyToOne.....
*/
public List executeHibernateQuery(String sql, Class entity){
log.debug("HibernateNativeQuery executing: "+sql);
Session session = jpaContext.getEntityManagerByManagedType(Article.class).unwrap(Session.class);
return session.createQuery(sql, entity).getResultList();
}
public <T> List<T> executeGenericHibernateQuery(String sql, Class<T> entity){
log.debug("HibernateNativeQuery executing: "+sql);
Session session = jpaContext.getEntityManagerByManagedType(Article.class).unwrap(Session.class);
return session.createQuery(sql, entity).getResultList();
}
}
Use case - you can write any type condition about query params

public List<ArticleDTO> findWithHibernateWay(SearchFiltersVM filter){
Long[] stores = filter.getStores();
Long[] categories = filter.getCategories();
Long[] brands = filter.getBrands();
Long[] articles = filter.getArticles();
Long[] colors = filter.getColors();

"left join fetch article.stocks stock " +
"left join fetch stock.color " +

Consider the following JAVA model for hibernate:
#Entity
#Table
public class Person {
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
public Long id;
#Column
public String firstName;
#Column
public String lastName;
#Column
public Boolean active;
}
and the following model for API serialization (using spring boot rest controller):
public class PersonVO {
public Long id;
public String fullName;
}
What i want is to:
Have some filtering applied at the Person (statically defined)
Have some filtering applied at the PersonVO (get from #RequestParam)
In C# .NET i could make like:
IQueryable<Person> personsQuery = entityFrameworkDbContext.Persons;
// FIRST POINT - Here i could make some predefined filtering like 'only active', 'from the same city'... at the database model
personsQueryWithPreDefinedFilters = personsQuery.Where(person => person.active == true);
IQueryable<PersonVO> personsProjectedToVO = personsQueryWithPreDefinedFilters.Select(person => new PersonVO()
{
id = person.id,
fullName = person.firstName + " " + person.lastName
});
// SECOND POINT - At this point i could add more filtering based at PersonVO model
if (!String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(fullNameRequestParameter)) {
personsProjectedToVO = personsProjectedToVO.Where(personVO => personVO.FullName == fullNameRequestParameter);
}
// The generated SQL at database is with both where (before and after projection)
List<PersonVO> personsToReturn = personsProjectedToVO.ToList();
What i got in Java is:
CriteriaBuilder cb = this.entityManager.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<PersonVO> cq = cb.createQuery(PersonVO.class);
Root<Person> root = cq.from(Person.class);
// FIRST POINT - Here i could make some predefined filtering like 'only active', 'from the same city'... at the database model
cq.where(cb.equal(root.get(Person_.active), true));
Expression<String> fullName = cb.concat(root.get(Person_.firstName), root.get(Person_.lastName));
cq.select(cb.construct(
PersonVO.class,
root.get(Person_.id),
fullName
));
// SECOND POINT - At this point i could add more filtering based at PersonVO model??? HOW???
if (fullNameRequestParameter != null) {
cq.where(cb.equal(fullName, fullNameRequestParameter));
// i only could use based at the fullName expression used, but could i make a Predicate based only on PersonVO model without knowing or having the expression?
}
I want to have separated the "projection to the VO model" from the "where expression" applied to it, but have it indirectly applied if used a projected column (like fullName).
Is this possible in Java? Using what? Criteria? Querydsl? Stream? (don't get necessarily stick to the java sample)
JPA Criteria API doesn't have such functionality. Also, it is not easy to read 😊
JPA Criteria API
In the Criteria API you need to reuse the Expression.
The working code looks like this:
public List<PersonVO> findActivePersonByFullName(String fullName) {
CriteriaBuilder cb = entityManager.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<PersonVO> cq = cb.createQuery(PersonVO.class);
Root<Person> root = cq.from(Person.class);
List<Predicate> predicates = new ArrayList<>();
predicates.add(cb.equal(root.get("active"), true));
Expression<String> fullNameExp =
cb.concat(cb.concat(root.get("firstName"), " "), root.get("lastName"));
cq.select(cb.construct(
PersonVO.class,
root.get("id"),
fullNameExp
));
if (fullName != null) {
predicates.add(cb.equal(fullNameExp, fullName));
}
cq.where(predicates.toArray(new Predicate[0]));
return entityManager.createQuery(cq).getResultList();
}
The generated SQL code:
select
person0_.id as col_0_0_,
((person0_.first_name||' ')||person0_.last_name) as col_1_0_
from
person person0_
where
person0_.active=?
and (
(
person0_.first_name||?
)||person0_.last_name
)=?
JPA Criteria API and #org.hibernate.annotations.Formula
Hibernate has an annotation org.hibernate.annotations.Formula that can simplify the code a little.
Add to the entity a computed field annotated with #Formula("first_name || ' ' || last_name"):
#Entity
public class Person {
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
public Long id;
#Column
public String firstName;
#Column
public String lastName;
#Column
public boolean active;
#Formula("first_name || ' ' || last_name")
private String fullName;
//...getters and setters
}
And in the JPA Criteria API query reference the field fullName:
public List<PersonVO> findActivePersonByFullName(String fullName) {
CriteriaBuilder cb = entityManager.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<PersonVO> cq = cb.createQuery(PersonVO.class);
Root<Person> root = cq.from(Person.class);
List<Predicate> predicates = new ArrayList<>();
predicates.add(cb.equal(root.get("active"), true));
cq.select(cb.construct(
PersonVO.class,
root.get("id"),
root.get("fullName")
));
if (fullName != null) {
predicates.add(cb.equal(root.get("fullName"), fullName));
}
cq.where(predicates.toArray(new Predicate[0]));
return entityManager.createQuery(cq).getResultList();
}
And the generated SQL:
select
person0_.id as col_0_0_,
person0_.first_name || ' ' || person0_.last_name as col_1_0_
from
person person0_
where
person0_.active=?
and person0_.first_name || ' ' || person0_.last_name=?
Hibernate Criteria API
Hibernate Criteria API (deprecated since Hibernate 5.2 in favour of JPA Criteria API) allows to use aliases. But not all databases allows to use aliases (e.g. (full_name || ' ' || last_name) as full_name) in a where clause.
According to the PostgreSQL docs:
An output column's name can be used to refer to the column's value in
ORDER BY and GROUP BY clauses, but not in the WHERE or HAVING clauses;
there you must write out the expression instead.
It means the SQL query
select p.id,
(p.first_name || ' ' || p.last_name) as full_name
from person p
where p.active = true
and full_name = 'John Doe'
doesn't work in PostgreSQL.
So, using an alias in a where clause is not an option.
public interface PersonVO{
String getFirstName();
String getLastName();
}
public interface PersonFullNameView{
PersonVO getFullName();
}
public interface PersonRepository<Person, Long>{
#Query("SELECT first_name lastName || ' ' || last_name lastName as fullName" +
"FROM Person p" +
"WHERE p.active = :active AND p.first_name=:firstName AND" +
"p.last_name=:lastname"), nativeQuery = true)
PersonFullNameView methodName(
#Param("active" boolean active,
#Param("firstName") String firstName,
#Param("lastName") String lastNam
);
}
Notice that you must call your column names equal to "getters"
in interfaces(getFirstName = firstName)
It calls interface-based projection. Then you can create instance of PersonVO:
PersonFullNameView pfnv = repository.methodName(args...);
PersonVo personVO = pfnv.getFullName();
Is that what you needed?
Using this http://www.jinq.org/ library i could do it and get applied to the hibernate (and consequently database).
JinqJPAStreamProvider jinqJPAStreamProvider = new JinqJPAStreamProvider(this.entityManager.getMetamodel());
JPAJinqStream<Person> personStream = jinqJPAStreamProvider.streamAll(this.entityManager, Person.class);
personStream = personStream.where(person -> person.getFirstName().equals("Joao"));
// The only trouble is that we have to register the Model we want to project to (i believe it could be solved with reflection)
jinqJPAStreamProvider.registerCustomTupleConstructor(PersonVO.class.getConstructor(Long.class, String.class), PersonVO.class.getMethod("getId"), PersonVO.class.getMethod("getFullName"));
JPAJinqStream<PersonVO> personVOStream = personStream.select(person -> new PersonVO(person.getId(), person.getFirstName() + person.getLastName()));
personVOStream = personVOStream.where(person -> person.getFullName().equals("JoaoCarmo"));
List<PersonVO> resultList = personVOStream.toList();
Thanks all for the help!
I am trying to do "sql interpreter" in my web-app, only for CRUD. Everything work fine, I am using method prepareStatement() to execute query. But I have problem with operation select :
When I use the select operation only for 1 field, then parsing to a string gives a fairly good result:
for(String x: resultList){
System.out.println(x);
}
Is there any way to execute:
SELECT field_1, field_2, field_3 FROM table;
and print result in console, with some neat form without use Entites?
Well if it isn't possible, is there any way to generate entity "on the fly"? I mean generate Entities using java code.
You could use a native query and explicitly specify which columns you want to select:
String sql = "SELECT field_1, field_2, field_3 FROM table";
Query q = em.createNativeQuery(sql);
List<Object[]> results = q.getResultList();
for (Object[] r : results) {
System.out.println("(field_1, field_2, field_3) = (" + r[0] + ", " + r[1] + ", " + r[2] + ")");
}
With Spring Data JPA Projections
If you already use some entities and Spring Repository then you can add this code to one of them. Thanks Spring Data JPA Projections.
public interface SomeEntityRepository extends Repository<SomeEntity, Long> {
#Query(value = "SELECT field_1, field_2, field_3 FROM table", nativeQuery = true)
List<TableDto> getFromTable();
}
Where TableDto:
public interface TableDto{
Long getField_1();
String getField_2();
String getField_3();
}
With Spring JdbcTemplate
Or use Spring JdbcTemplate:
String query = "SELECT field_1, field_2, field_3 FROM table where id = ?";
List<TableDto> resluts = jdbcTemplate.queryForObject(
query, new Object[] { id }, new TableDtoRowMapper());
public class TableDtoRowMapper implements RowMapper<TableDto> {
#Override
public TableDtomapRow(ResultSet rs, int rowNum) throws SQLException {
TableDto dto = new TableDto();
dto.setField_1(rs.getString("field_1"));
dto.setField_2(rs.getString("field_2"));
dto.setField_3(rs.getString("field_3"));
return dto;
}
}
In this example TableDto is real class with getters and setters.
Did someone knows how to use hibernate ResultTransformer? I want to convert entity to dto. This is my code
Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria(Person.class)
criteria.add(Restrictions.eq("id",id));
PersonDto personDto = criteria.uniqueResult();
It throws a classCastException saying cannot cast Person to PersonDto.
Additional question:
This code works fine but why not the above code?
Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria(Person.class);
List<PersonDto> personDtos = criteria.list();
If you just want to convert entities maybe you should use tool like dozer
http://dozer.sourceforge.net/documentation/usage.html
Example of using transformList
Query query = session.createQuery(""
+ "Select DISTINCT VP.versionId as parent from VersionData VP "
+ "INNER JOIN VP.zvitId ZP "
+ "INNER JOIN ZP.childrens CH "
+ "INNER JOIN CH.versions CP "
+ "where CP.zvitId.zvitId = :idList and VP.dend IS NULL"
)
.setParameter("idList", id)
.setResultTransformer(Transformers.aliasToBean(ParentIdList.class));
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
List<ParentIdList> result = query.list();
Parent IdList has the same property name as returning values of query
public class ParentIdList
{
private String parent;
/**
* #return the parents
*/
public String getParent()
{
return parent;
}
/**
* #param parents the parents to set
*/
public void setParent(String parents)
{
this.parent = parents;
}
//getters, setters, hashcode, equals
}
Is there any way to get this query with QueryDSL?
select
person.name,
count(neighbors.*)
from person as neighbors
where person.address = neighbor.address
group by person.name
where address is not a FK.
The key to the first problem is to use aliases to be able to make the self-join:
// static instance uses default alias "person"
QPerson person = QPerson.person;
QPerson neighbor = new QPerson("neighbor");
JPAQuery query = new JPAQuery(em)
.from(person, neighbor)
.where(person.adress.eq(neighbor.adress))
.groupBy(person.name);
To get the results you can simply use the Tuple class:
List<Tuple> results = query.list(person.name, neighbor.count());
for (Tuple row : result) {
System.out.println("name: " + row.get(person.name));
System.out.println("count: " + row.get(neighbor.count()));
}
Or you can use a ConstructorExpression to do something like this:
List<MyResult> results = query.list(ConstructorExpression.create(
MyResult.class, person.name, neighbor.count()));
public class MyResult {
private String name;
private long count;
public MyResult(String name, long count) {
this.name = name;
this.count = count;
}
}
I get a ClassCastException when trying to query my JPA entity class. I only want json to show two columns. That is name and address. How do I only show selected columns in JPA? From debugging it has to be the for loop. So List is the object and I need to make the right side an object instead of a list correct?

System.out.println( "Records (" + event.getName + ") );
}
return records;
}
Update
This is my attempt to declare the result object as List. Does the method have to be an object instead of ?
public List<User> getRecords(User ent){
String sql = "select "
+ " usr.name, usr.address "
+ " from User usr"
+ " where usr.id = '1' ";
Map<String, String> results = new HashMap<String, String>();
List<Object[]> resultList = this.getSession().createQuery(sql).list();
// Place results in map
for (Object[] items: resultList) {
results.put((String)items[0], (String)items[1]);
results.toString();
}
return (List<User>) results;
You can pass a DTO class to the SELECT clause like this:
List<UserDTO> resultList = this.getSession().createQuery("""
select
new my.package.UserDTO(usr.name, usr.address)
from User usr
where usr.id = :userId
""")
.setParameter("userId", userId)
.getResultList();
You should read the complete object:
String sql = " from User usr"
+ " where usr.id = '1' ";
Or declare the result object as List<Object[]>
You can use generic(I assure you are using java 1.5 and above) and and one you get result, you do type check and downcast to desired type.
If You don't want to read the complete object you have to use Criteria and Projection on specific properties.
