Native Query issues [message #385295]

Hi,

I'm using EclipseLink 1.0.2, and I need to hit an Oracle 10.2 sequence
in ad hoc fashion (NOT when inserting a record), so I created a native
query like so (snippet):

final String query =
"SELECT proj_num_seq.nextval " +
"FROM dual ";

return (Long) _entityManager
.createNativeQuery(query)
.getSingleResult();

When this was executed, I got this bizarre error:

java.lang.ClassCastException:
org.eclipse.persistence.internal.helper.NonSynchronizedVecto r

So I see that it's returning a List, not the "single result" I
requested. Bug?

I then tried this:

List aList = (List) _entityManager
.createNativeQuery(query)
.getSingleResult();

return (Long) aList.get(0);

.... which resulted in:

java.lang.ClassCastException: java.math.BigDecimal

Finally, I ended up having to do this:

List aList = (List) _entityManager
.createNativeQuery(query)
.getSingleResult();

return ((BigDecimal) aList.get(0)).longValue();

or this with generics:

List<BigDecimal> aList = (List<BigDecimal>)
_entityManager.createNativeQuery(query)
.getSingleResult();

return aList.get(0).longValue();

All good now!

But the first attempt should have worked correctly, right? It should
not have returned a List holding a BigDecimal (maybe just a BigDecimal
for me to deal with, which at least would have been somewhat
acceptable). Also, just for fun, when I tried it with getResultList()
instead of getSingleResult(), it wrapped the List in another List, which
is what I expected.

So is createNativeQuery(String).getSingleResult() misbehaving, or am I
doing something wrong? I didn't find any similar bug reports or news
postings.

Thanks,
Ari

This has been fixed since 1.0.2.

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=229627

You should now get either a Object or Object[] for a getSingleResult()
query execution. If you are querying for multiple rows the result will be
either List<Object> or List<Object[]>.

When issuing a native query the type returned is really database and JDBC
specific and could even vary between JDBC versions. When returning a
single number like this I tend to write my query execution like:

return ((Number) _entityManager
createNativeQuery(query)
getSingleResult()).longValue();

Thanks Doug -- when are they planning to release a 1.0.3 (or whatever
new version)?
