Convert JPA query.getResultList() to MY Objects

I'm performing a Query to my DB in JPA. The Query "queries" 4 tables, and the result aggregates columns from that different tables.

My Query is something like:

Query query = em.createQuery("SELECT o.A, o.B, o.C, e.D, c.E FROM Table1 o, 
Table2 i, Table3 e, Table4 c WHERE o.X = i.X AND i.Y = e.Y AND i.Z = c.Z");

How can I get the query result and extract the different fields?

I created a class (MyObject) that represents each item of the result list, and I want to convert the query.getResultList() into a List< MyObject>.

How can I do it?

Solution

  • This kind of query returns a List<Object[]>. So you just need a loop to convert each array into an instance of your class:

    List<Object[]> rows = query.getResultList();
List<MyObject> result = new ArrayList<>(rows.size());
for (Object[] row : rows) {
    result.add(new MyObject((String) row[0],
                            (Long) row[1],
                            ...));
}
