hi there,

(...seam noob...)

i'm posting the following problem, which i'm fighting with since hours: I am completely unable to run a selection query against my database. I can persists objects without any problems, but as soon as i'm trying to execute a query, i get an exception. So obviously i must be doing something wrong :-(

this is my scenario:

i have a user entity bean, which is annotated like this:

@Entity(name = "user")
@Table(name = "USERS")
@Name("user")
public class User implements Serializable {...

To persist i execute the following code:

       public void saveTestUser(User user) {
                userHome.setInstance(user);
                userHome.persist();
        }

UserHome is more or less empty (just a factory method which i'm not calling right now):

@Name("userHome")
public class UserHome extends EntityHome<User> {

Okay, here comes the problem. I'm boiled the code to something which ist just sopposed to retrieve a User from the datebase.

@Name("userList")
public class UserList extends EntityQuery<User> {

...

        public int getUserCount() {
                EntityManager em = getEntityManager();
                Query query = em.createQuery("select u from User u");
                List<User> results = query.getResultList();
                return results.size();
        }

And here comes the exception:

FATAL [application] javax.ejb.EJBTransactionRolledbackException: org.hibernate.hql.ast.QuerySyntaxException: User is not mapped [select u from User u]
javax.faces.el.EvaluationException: javax.ejb.EJBTransactionRolledbackException: org.hibernate.hql.ast.QuerySyntaxException: User is not mapped [select u from User u]

(goes on forever, but no new information)

I have no idea what's going wrong. Been working on the Query-String for hours, there shouldn't be any combination of keywords left i havent't tried yet.

Help is desperatly needed ;-)

Cheers from Berlin, Jan

What if you use the fully qualified class name? I've had situations where that has helped, not sure why thought. Also, does the hibernate scanner indicate any problems?

OH MY GOD

I used the fully qualified name and it just worked.

thanks a million :-)

but - what is the hibernate scanner? neither i nor google have heard about - can you elaborate / provide a link?

thanks again,

jan

Glad that I could help!

About scanner, I just meant that hibernate might complain during startup (scanning your files for annotations) about something not being quite right. I think using a fully qualified class name identifies the class irrespective of its name, ant that is why it worked, but I am not quite sure.

And oh, I just spotted something, maybe you should change @Entity(name = "user") to @Entity(name = "User") with capital U?

Right, or just get rid of

(name = "user")

Actually this is a leftover from my debugging efforts. In my understanding,

@Entity
@Table(name = "USERS")
public class User...

should be perfectly fine. Or am I missing something? Specially the Query is referencing the class name, isn't it?

Where would


@Entity(name="somethingFunny")

become useful?

Where would @Entity(name="somethingFunny") become useful?

To differentiate between com.mycompany.people.Supervisor (a person holding a Supervisor job) and com.mycompany.sysadmin.Supervisor (a system monitoring the network's health)?

well, in my understanding (which can be wrong), i do refer to the classname:

Query query = em.createQuery("select u from com.mypackage.user.admin.User u");
Query query = em.createQuery("select u from com.myotherpackage.User u");

these two would be two different entity beans, referenced by their qualified name. i dont see any place (so far) where i would want to use the name attribute of @Entity?

Is this correct?

new results and conclusion:

i was wrong. a query reference defaults against the name of the entity. which by itself defaults against the classname.

unless you use

@Entity(name = "xyz")

in the moment i removed the name-attribute the original query (...User...) started working like a charm.

lesson learned: dont use the name attribute of @Entity - unless you have a good reason

:-)
