I'm using Spring Boot, Spring Data REST, Hibernate (5.2.12.Final) and I'm exposing my repositories as REST services.

I've a problem with a query that raises a NullPointerException and I don't understand the reason. I'm calling this method via a HTTP request (this is exposed by Spring Data REST).

This is the code:

@Transactional(readOnly = true)
@PreAuthorize("isAuthenticated()")
public interface CheckPointRepository extends JpaRepository<CheckPoint, Long> {

@Query(value = "SELECT * FROM CheckPoint WHERE (:name IS NULL OR name LIKE CONCAT('%',:name,'%')) ORDER BY name LIMIT 20", nativeQuery = true)
    public List<CheckPoint> findByNameOrderByNameList(@Param("name") String name);

}

and this is the stack trace:

I don't really see anything wrong with that query. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

===================== ADDITIONAL AND FINAL INFO =====================

After many tries I understood the problem was not my query but a couple of formula I had into the entity CheckPoint:

@Entity
public class CheckPoint extends AbstractEntity {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 2719798641638659883L;

    @Audited
    @NotBlank
    @Column(nullable = false, unique = true)
    private String name;

    private LocalTime openingTime;

    private LocalTime closingTime;

    // The minimum number of ticket that should be present in the checkpoint
    @Audited
    @Min(value = 0)
    @Column(nullable = false)
    private int stockThreshold = 0;

    // Available blocks in this checkpoint
    @Formula(value = "(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM TicketBlock t WHERE t.CheckPoint_id=id)")
    private long availableBlocks;

    @Formula(value = "(SELECT COALESCE(SUM(t.availableTickets),0) FROM TicketBlock t WHERE t.CheckPoint_id=id)")
    private long availableTickets;

This in combination with any kind of native query in the Repository throws that Exception (also a simple "FROM CheckPoint"). I solved making a HQL query instead of a native one in my Repository. Of course is not exactly what I wanted and I consider this like a workaround. I think the NullPointerException is always a bug. Curious to know if someone more expert than me can add something useful to this topic.

  • how you call `findByNameOrderByNameList` ? – Youcef LAIDANI Jan 25 '18 at 18:00
  • @YCF_L I'm using Spring Data REST as I wrote, and this Repository is automatically exposed. I'm calling this repository from PostMan via a http request. – drenda Jan 25 '18 at 18:02
  • I'm not an expert, but I Think the logic is to call the repository after you Inject it `@Autowired CheckPointRepository checkPointRepository;`, But in your case you call It from postman, so it's not injected for that you get `null`, to confirm that, create a simple service where you inject your repository and call that service instead – Youcef LAIDANI Jan 25 '18 at 18:12
  • @YCF_L Restart doesn't change anything. I'm sure Repository are exposed in the right way. In fact I use them all the time with the only difference that I'm using HQL and not native queries like this. – drenda Jan 25 '18 at 18:18
  • Ok, I can't understand why you check `:name IS NULL` did you mean `name IS NULL` without the two point in the start of `name` ? – Youcef LAIDANI Jan 25 '18 at 18:24
  • By the way I tried also in the service with the same problem. I mean :name IS NULL, it's a trick to check if the parameter is set. So if it is set I filter by the parameter otherwise I don't use any filter. This trick works on HQL but unfortunately with HQL I can't use LIMIT function – drenda Jan 25 '18 at 18:25
  • what RDBMS you are using ? – Youcef LAIDANI Jan 25 '18 at 18:26

  • I think the query is not giving you null pointer exception. It could be the possibility that you are not autowiring CheckPointRepository properly. Can you tell how are you initializing all your beans via xml configuration or via annotations? Also, can you please tell at which line exactly does this exception occur? – codeLover Jan 29 '18 at 08:18
  • Can you add the checkpoint entity? – Zeromus Jan 29 '18 at 09:20

Yes there's a bug report for this exact situation with @Formula annotation and nativeQuery... you can add 5.2 as an affected version since it's reported only to 5.1

A simple workaround I used (since the one in the issue doesn't work anymore), is use a native query to just retrieve the id, then a normal repository.findOne(id) to fetch the entity with the formula, double queries, but hey, it works

Use @ColumnTransformer instead of @Formula:

@Column(name = "formula_col", insertable = false, updatable = false)  
@ColumnTransformer(read = "(FORMULA SQL)")
