3 table cascade reference @JoinFetch [message #1061197] Thu, 30 May 2013 13:36 Go to next message

Hi,
I have problem joining 3 tables in cascade reference Foreign key
I have 3 Entities for tables A,B an C

A OneToMany B ( B ManyToOne A )
B OneToMany C ( C ManyToOne B )

I have corrected generated the code and followed the following post

vard-lokkur.blogspot.it/2010/09/jpa-demystified-episode-1-onetomany-and.html

annotating the entities with @JoinFetch like in the example.

Now the problem:
I'd want retrieve the Object A and B and C all in ONE query,but the generated query ( logged and logged in the example too ) make a Join only from A and B.
I can have all 3 Entities retrieved in Join only if I retreive B ( like in the example ).

Is there a way to have a 3 level join query starting from root entity (A) without use a @NamedQuery?

thank you very much.

Can you show how and where you added the @JoinFetch annotation, and the SQL that is generated?

You might want to try using batch fetching using @BatchFetch instead of a join over multiple 1:M and M:M relationships, as join fetching Bs and Cs in the same query could potentially be quite few results to parse for each A entity. It might be more efficient if you split it into 3 queries rather than returning NxM row results for each instance.

thanks for answer,

I have tried with @BatchFetch too but I have had less results,maybe I have make some mistake.

here's the generated query asking for find() on Entity A and the class code in @JoinFetch

SELECT DISTINCT t1.ID, t1.BUSINESS_NAME, t0.ID, t0.FIRST_NAME, t0.EMPLOYER_ID FROM employees t0, employers t1 WHERE ((t1.ID = ?) AND (t0.EMPLOYER_ID = t1.ID))

...ad you can see the Benefits table (Entity C ) as not been included in query

I'd want all the 3 entity in Join in one query....so I can make performance stress test to decide framework policy Smile
Then I can try with @BatchJoin too for performance test.

Thanks for help!!

here's the code:

The @JoinFetch annotation is only applied one level. To use nested join fetching, you need to use the "eclipselink.join-fetch" query hint, or JOIN FETCH in JPQL.

You could also try @BatchFetch which is applied nested.

See,
