How to get batching using the old hibernate criteria? - java

I'm still using the old org.hibernate.Criteria and get more and more confused about fetch modes. In various queries, I need all of the following variants, so I can't control it via annotations. I'm just switching everything to #ManyToOne(fetch=FetchType.LAZY), as otherwise, there's no change to change anything in the query.
What I could find so far either concerns HQL or JPA2 or offers just two choices, but I need it for the old criteria and for (at least) the following three cases:
Do a JOIN, and fetch from both tables. This is OK unless the data is too redundant (e.g., the master data is big or repeated many times in the result). In SQL, I'd write
SELECT * FROM item JOIN order on item.order_id = order.id
WHERE ...;
Do a JOIN, fetch from the first table, and the separation from the other. This is usually the more efficient variant of the previous query. In SQL, I'd write
SELECT item.* FROM item JOIN order on item.order_id = order.id
WHERE ...;
SELECT order.* FROM order WHERE ...;
Do a JOIN, but do not fetch the joined table. This is useful e.g., for sorting based on data the other table. In SQL, I'd write
SELECT item.* FROM item JOIN order on item.order_id = order.id
WHERE ...
ORDER BY order.name, item.name;
It looks like without explicitly specifying fetch=FetchType.LAZY, everything gets fetched eagerly as in the first case, which is sometimes too bad. I guess, using Criteria#setFetchMode, I can get the third case. I haven't tried it out yet, as I'm still missing the second case. I know that it's somehow possible, as there's the #BatchSize annotation.
Am I right with the above?
Is there a way how to get the second case with the old criteria?
Update
It looks like using createAlias() leads to fetching everything eagerly. There are some overloads allowing to specify the JoinType, but I'd need to specify the fetch type. Now, I'm confused even more.

Yes you can satisfy all three cases using FetchType.LAZY, BatchSize, the different fetch modes, and projections (note I just made up a 'where' clause with Restrictions.like("name", "%s%") to ensure that I retrieved many rows):
Do a JOIN, and fetch from both tables.
Because the order of an item is FetchType.LAZY, the default fetch mode will be 'SELECT' so it just needs to be set as 'JOIN' to fetch the related entity data from a join rather than separate query:
Session session = entityManager.unwrap(org.hibernate.Session.class);
Criteria cr = session.createCriteria(Item.class);
cr.add(Restrictions.like("name", "%s%"));
cr.setFetchMode("order", FetchMode.JOIN);
List results = cr.list();
results.forEach(r -> System.out.println(((Item)r).getOrder().getName()));
The resulting single SQL query:
select
this_.id as id1_0_1_,
this_.name as name2_0_1_,
this_.order_id as order_id3_0_1_,
order2_.id as id1_1_0_,
order2_.name as name2_1_0_
from
item_table this_
left outer join
order_table order2_
on this_.order_id=order2_.id
where
this_.name like ?
Do a JOIN, fetch from the first table and the separately from the other.
Leave the fetch mode as the default 'SELECT', create an alias for the order to use it's columns in sorting, and use a projection to select the desired subset of columns including the foreign key:
Session session = entityManager.unwrap(org.hibernate.Session.class);
Criteria cr = session.createCriteria(Item.class);
cr.add(Restrictions.like("name", "%s%"));
cr.createAlias("order", "o");
cr.addOrder(org.hibernate.criterion.Order.asc("o.id"));
cr.setProjection(Projections.projectionList()
.add(Projections.property("id"), "id")
.add(Projections.property("name"), "name")
.add(Projections.property("order"), "order"))
.setResultTransformer(org.hibernate.transform.Transformers.aliasToBean(Item.class));
List results = cr.list();
results.forEach(r -> System.out.println(((Item)r).getOrder().getName()));
The resulting first SQL query:
select
this_.id as y0_,
this_.name as y1_,
this_.order_id as y2_
from
item_table this_
inner join
order_table o1_
on this_.order_id=o1_.id
where
this_.name like ?
order by
o1_.id asc
and subsequent batches (note I used #BatchSize(value=5) on the Order class):
select
order0_.id as id1_1_0_,
order0_.name as name2_1_0_
from
order_table order0_
where
order0_.id in (
?, ?, ?, ?, ?
)
Do a JOIN, but do not fetch the joined table.
Same as the previous case, but don't do anything to prompt the loading of the lazy-loaded orders:
Session session = entityManager.unwrap(org.hibernate.Session.class);
Criteria cr = session.createCriteria(Item.class);
cr.add(Restrictions.like("name", "%s%"));
cr.createAlias("order", "o");
cr.addOrder(Order.asc("o.id"));
cr.setProjection(Projections.projectionList()
.add(Projections.property("id"), "id")
.add(Projections.property("name"), "name")
.add(Projections.property("order"), "order"))
.setResultTransformer(org.hibernate.transform.Transformers.aliasToBean(Item.class));
List results = cr.list();
results.forEach(r -> System.out.println(((Item)r).getName()));
The resulting single SQL query:
select
this_.id as y0_,
this_.name as y1_,
this_.order_id as y2_
from
item_table this_
inner join
order_table o1_
on this_.order_id=o1_.id
where
this_.name like ?
order by
o1_.id asc
My entities for all cases remained the same:
#Entity
#Table(name = "item_table")
public class Item {
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Long id;
private String name;
#ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
private Order order;
// getters and setters omitted
}
#Entity
#Table(name = "order_table")
#BatchSize(size = 5)
public class Order {
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Long id;
private String name;
// getters and setters omitted
}

Query using specifications gives error when ordering on joined column that is not in SELECT DISTINCT

I get following error when doing a rather complicated query: for SELECT DISTINCT, ORDER BY expressions must appear in select list
In the query I need to find all distinct Requests that have an ExploitationSite that contains a search term in their dutch or french name. The result has to be ordered by the Activity's dutch name and limited to the first 10 for pagination.
To do this query I use the Page <T> findAll(Specification<T> spec, Pageable pageable) method of JpaSpecificationExecutor.
This will result in a SELECT DISTINCT query which has to be ORDERed BY a property that is not in SELECT. (details below)
I tried to fetch the activities eagerly in the hope it would place those differently in the SELECT. I did my best trying to get the DISTINCT in a subquery and then have the ORDER BY + LIMIT around that, but I did not succeed in that.
Has someone an idea how I can get this query to work?
The (simplified) Request entity
#Entity
#Table(name = "request_requests")
#History("Request")
public class Request extends EqualByStateObject {
#GeneratedValue
#Id
private int id;
#Embedded
private RequestNumber requestNumber;
#OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, orphanRemoval = true)
#JoinColumn(name = "fk_request")
private List<ExploitationSite> exploitationSites = new ArrayList<>();
#OneToOne(cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
#JoinColumn(unique = true, name = "fk_activity")
private Activity activity;
...
}
The Specification (I have to use distinct here because since a Request contains a List of ExploitationSites it was possible I got the same request multiple times back if multiple ExploitationSites contained the search term)
public class ExploitationSiteSpecification extends EqualByStateObject implements Specification<Request> {
private final String exploitationSiteName;
protected ExploitationSiteSpecification(String exploitationSiteName) {
this.exploitationSiteName = exploitationSiteName;
}
#Override
public Predicate toPredicate(Root<Request> root, CriteriaQuery<?> query, CriteriaBuilder criteriaBuilder) {
query.distinct(true);
ListJoin<Object, Object> exploitationSites = root.joinList("exploitationSites");
return criteriaBuilder.or(
criteriaBuilder.like(
criteriaBuilder.lower(exploitationSites.get("name").get("dutchName")), "%" + exploitationSiteName.toLowerCase() + "%"),
criteriaBuilder.like(
criteriaBuilder.lower(exploitationSites.get("name").get("frenchName")), "%" + exploitationSiteName.toLowerCase() + "%")
);
}
}
The Pageable
public Pageable getPageable() {
Sort sort = Sort.by(Sort.Order.asc("activity.name.dutchName"));
PageRequest.of(0, 10, sort);
}
This results in a generated query like this one
select distinct request0_.id as id1_23_,
request0_.fk_activity as fk_acti15_23_,
request0_.request_number as request12_23_
from request_requests request0_
inner join request_exploitation_sites exploitati1_ on request0_.id=exploitati1_.fk_request
left outer join request_activity activity2_ on request0_.fk_activity=activity2_.id
where lower(exploitati1_.dutch_name) like $1
or lower(exploitati1_.french_name) like $2
order by activity2_.dutch_name asc limit $3
which then gives the for SELECT DISTINCT, ORDER BY expressions must appear in select list error
Assuming you put the distinct because the join with exploitationSites would return multiple rows, the following two options would work without using distinct.
right after the join you could do an additional fetch
ListJoin<Object, Object> exploitationSites = root.joinList("exploitationSites");
root.fetch("exploitationSites")
this would result in hibernate to create an additional join of ExploitationSites as well as selecting additional columns
select request0_.id as id1_23_,
request0_.fk_activity as fk_acti15_23_,
request0_.request_number as request12_23_,
exploitati3_.id as exploitati3_id,
exploitati3_.name as exploitati3_name,
...
from request_requests request0_
inner join request_exploitation_sites exploitati1_ on request0_.id=exploitati1_.fk_request
left outer join request_activity activity2_ on request0_.fk_activity=activity2_.id
inner join request_exploitation_sites exploitati3_ on request0_.id=exploitati3_.fk_request
where lower(exploitati1_.dutch_name) like $1
or lower(exploitati1_.french_name) like $2
order by activity2_.dutch_name asc limit $3
use fetch in the first place and cast it to Join
Join<Object, Object> exploitationSites = (Join<Object, Object>) root.fetch("exploitationSites");
By casting the Fetch to a Join you can still use where clauses.
Note that this will also select additional columns, but won't do an additional join in the resulting query.
In both cases the fetch will result in a join fetch which hibernate internally will remove duplicates from the parent entity (see https://stackoverflow.com/a/51177569)

Map the latest child of a collection with JPA and Hibernate (NotNull)

I need get last entity element from collection. I am using #JoinFormula:
#Entity
public class Book {
#ManyToOne
#JoinFormula("(select * from
(SELECT r.id FROM review r WHERE r.book_id = id ORDER BY r.postedAt DESC)
where rownum = 1)")
private Review
...
}
And it works fantastic, but only if Book has some Review. Otherwise book isn't found. Because hibernate convert this to cross join and use condition in WHERE statement:
review_entity.id =
(select * from (SELECT r.id FROM review r WHERE r.book_id = id ORDER BY r.postedAt DESC) where rownum = 1)
Is any option here to convert JoinFormula to left join or something like this?
select
book0_.id as id1_0_0_,
book0_.title as title2_0_0_,
book0_.version as version3_0_0_,
(SELECT
r.id
FROM
review r
where
r.book_id = book0_.id
ORDER BY
r.postedAt DESC LIMIT 1) as formula1_0_,
review1_.id as id1_1_1_,
review1_.book_id as book_id4_1_1_,
review1_.comment as comment2_1_1_,
review1_.postedAt as postedAt3_1_1_
from
Book book0_
left outer join
Review review1_
on (
SELECT
r.id
FROM
review r
where
r.book_id = book0_.id
ORDER BY
r.postedAt DESC LIMIT 1
)=review1_.id
where
book0_.id=?
I am not sure what you are going is a good idea. Your domain model does not match the reality that a book has many reviews. I understand that you want to only access the latest review but that is probably better done as an individual query. Otherwise, you could update your domain model to reflect the reality but still fetch the last review in a performant manner by means of Hibernate's extra-lazy property.
"Extra-lazy" collection fetching - individual elements of the
collection are accessed from the database as needed. Hibernate tries
not to fetch the whole collection into memory unless absolutely needed
(suitable for very large collections)
#Entity
public class Book {
#OneToMany
#LazyCollection(LazyCollectionOption.EXTRA)
#OrderBy("...")
private List<Review> reviews; //needn't be exposed via public API
public Review getLatestReview(){
return reviews.get(reviews.size() - 1); //or first if ordered desc
}
}
Hibernate's #Where clause could also be used as an alternative to limit collection to only one element.

Hibernate doesn't return proper objects in inner join

I'm working on Spring MVC application that uses Hibernate. One of my requests in SQL looks like this:
SELECT work_order.* FROM work_order
inner join user
on
work_order.user_id = user.id
and
user.user_name = 'Jenna'
and I do get a result as a row of workorders. When I'm trying to do the same with Hibernate I get five objects(which is correct) but can't convert into WorkoOrder objects.
Here's my Hibernate request:
List<WorkOrder> workorders = (List<WorkOrder>)currentSession.createQuery(
"from WorkOrder w inner join w.user as u where user_name=:tempName")
.setParameter("tempName", tempName).getResultList();
Where tempName is a parameter. I do get objects, but can't cast them to Workorder, probably because Hibernate returns Workorders and Users combined. How to fix this so only Workorders will be returned?
Update: User is mapped in WorkOrder
#ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
#JoinColumn(name="user_id", nullable = true)
private User user;
Your HQL does not have a select clause. If you want only the WorkOrder entities from the join you form, then you'll need to tell Hibernate so:
currentSession.createQuery(
"select w from WorkOrder w inner join w.user as u where u.user_name=:tempName")

HQL left join with condition

This may seem basic but it's late and I'm having trouble with the following.
class Group {
#Id
String id;
}
class Participation {
#Id
String id;
#ManyToOne
#JoinColumn(name = "GROUP_ID")
Group group;
#ManyToOne
#JoinColumn(name = "USER_ID")
User user;
}
class User {
#Id
String id;
#OneToMany(mappedBy = "user", cascade = CascadeType.ALL, fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
Set<Participation> participations;
}
Class diagram
So
Participation -->1 Group
and User 1<-->N Participation
How can I retrieve all Groups with, for a given User, the associated Participation (or null is there is none)? I've been playing with join fetches but to no avail so far...
Many thanks,
CN
PS. I can do this in SQL thus :
select g.d, p.id
from group as g
left join participation as p
on p.group_id = g.id and p.user_id = 2;
(Probably some typo in the HQL itself but the idea should be correct)
What you are asking, based on your SQL and description, is find out all Participation (and its corresponding Group) based on User, which is simply
select p.id, p.group.id from Participation p where p.user.id = :userId
To make it better, you should fetch the entities instead:
from Participation p left join fetch p.group where p.user.id = :userId
There were some confusions in understanding what you were trying to do:
You want all groups (regardless of condition). And, for a given user, you want to find all groups and participations that user is involved.
Though it should be possible using Right-outer-join:
select g, p from Participation p
right outer join p.group g
where p.user.id=:userId
Or, in later version of Hibernate (>= 5.1 ?), it allow explicit join (haven't tried before, you may give it a try) (Replace with with on if you are using JPQL):
select g, p from Group g
left outer join Participation p
with p.group = g
left outer join p.user u
where u.id = :userId
Or you may use other techniques such as subquery etc. However I would rather separate them into simpler queries in your case and do a simple aggregation in your code.
The basic idea is to have
Query for all groups: from Groups
Query for all participations for a user: from Participation p join fetch p.group where p.user.id=:userId
Then you can aggregate them easily to the form you want, e.g. Map<Group, List<Participation>>, or even more meaningful value object.
The benefit is the data access query is simpler and more reusable (esp if you are wrapping them in DAO/Repository finder method). One more round trip to DB shouldn't cause any obvious performance impact here.
You need to map the participation relationship in the Group entity. If the relationship between Participation and Group is 1..N:
class Group {
String id
List<Participation> participations
}
The JPQL can be:
SELECT g.id, p.id FROM Group g
JOIN g.participations p
JOIN p.user user
WHERE user.id = :idUser
You can receive this information as List<Object[]> (Object[0] is group id and Object[1] is participation id) or use SELECT NEW.
Without map the Group/Participation relationship, you can do:
SELECT g.id, p.id FROM Group g, Participation p
JOIN p.user user
JOIN p.group groupp
WHERE g.id = groupp.id
AND user.id = :idUser
But you can't do a LEFT JOIN using this strategy. The query above behaviours like a JOIN.
It's normal with Hibernate you map the side of a relationship that you would like to make a query. So, I recommend the first approach, mapping the relationship.

HQL. Intersection of two lists

Update: look my answer below on how to check if 2 list intersects (both for #ElementCollection with string/enums and usual entities list mapped like #OneToMany)
I have an entity which contains #ElementCollectionfield with enums.
public enum StatusType {
NEW, PENDING, CLOSED;
}
#Entity
public class MyEntity {
#ElementCollection
#CollectionTable(name = "status_type", joinColumns = {#JoinColumn(name = "my_entity_id")})
#Column(name = "status_type", nullable = false)
private Set<StatusType > statusTypes = new HashSet<StatusType >();
...
}
Now I want to get all entities which contains status NEW or PENDING (or both).
I'm trying to use this query:
SELECT DISTINCT u FROM MyEntity u WHERE u.statusTypes in :statusTypes
But I'm getting exception: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: No value specified for parameter 9.
How to properly query on collections and filter by intersections?
Problem solved by adding JOIN clause to HQL. Hibernate couldn't implicitly recognize that query needs JOIN clause. May be it will help someone:
SELECT DISTINCT u FROM MyEntity u
LEFT JOIN u.statusTypes statusTypes
WHERE statusTypes in :statusTypes
I set the query params like this:
query.setParameter( "statusTypes", listOfStatusTypesEnums);
It will select rows where at least one element of listOfStatusTypesEnums list is present in entity's statusTypes property (i.e. if 2 list are intersects in some way).
If you have usual list of entities (which are not #ElementCollection, but #OneToMany etc), same rule will work as well. Just use like this: LEFT JOIN u.subEntities subEntities WHERE subEntities.id in :subEntityIds
