JPA @Query issues with the returned object

Question

I have added this in my DAO:

@Query("SELECT distinct LBL.cId, LBL from FooBar LBL ORDER BY LBL.collectedAt DESC")
    List<FooBar> findDistinctcIdOrderByCollectedAtDesc();

And then this is in my service

List<FooBar> fooBars = this.liveBusLocationDao.findDistinctcIdOrderByCollectedAtDesc();

And this is what I got when I debug contents of fooBars

fooBars = {ArrayList@11035}  size = 1
 0 = {Object[2]@11093} 
   0 = "string"
   1 = {FooBar@11095} "FooBar(cId=string, internalcId=123456789012, createdAt=2011-11-02 02:59:12.208, collectedAt=2017-10-06 14:26:26.544)"

How can I traverse this result?

this is Spring Data JPA not the JPA API. i.e there is no such `JPA @Query`. perhaps tag your question correctly — , Oct 06 '17 at 12:43

Your Query is requesting on 2 attributes. you can make a Custom class that as the id and the object or you could just remove LBL.cId from SELECT

Your request should be :

@Query("SELECT distinct LBL from FooBar LBL ORDER BY LBL.collectedAt DESC")
List<FooBar> findDistinctcIdOrderByCollectedAtDesc();

The distinct is working on the whole Row. take a look to it, if you are not shure about it, you can use group by LBL

But what result would this query give me? On which column is distinct condition applied? – nirvair Oct 06 '17 at 12:42
i updated my answer. Distinct work on the whole row. You acn also replace distinct with a group by – DamienB Oct 06 '17 at 12:45

You would need to create a result class and use special syntax in the jpa query if you want to use projection without getting the Object[] result.

package com.example

class ResultClass{

   int fieldOne;
   String fieldTwo;

  public (int fieldOne, intfieldTwo){
     // .. set fields
  }

}

and query:

@Query("SELECT distinct new com.example.ResultClass(LBL.cId, LBL.strProperty) from FooBar LBL ORDER BY LBL.collectedAt DESC")
    List<ResultClass> findDistinctcIdOrderByCollectedAtDesc();
