Question

I need to iterate and manipulate the list with my corresponding getters and setters. I tried the following based on the forum answer Retrieving Hibernate query result as result set instead of list
But it goes with the errors given below.Anyone can suggest what went wrong here?

Query query  = session.createSQLQuery("select s.id,e.firstName, e.middleName  from SecurityPrincipals as s " +
        "left join Employee as e on e.userId=s.id " +
        " where s.id= :userId").addEntity(EmployeeDTO.class);
query.setParameter("userId", userId);
List<EmployeeDTO> list = query.list();
Iterator iterator = list.iterator(); 
for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++)
{

    EmployeeDTO employeeDTO =  (EmployeeDTO) iterator.next();
    System.out.println("FirstName is:"+employeeDTO.getFirstName());
}

Following is my stacktrace.

Problem accessing /employeelist.jsf. Reason:

You cannot use addEntity() with classes that are not entities (for example, with DTOs). In this case you need to use AliasToBeanResultTransformer instead:

Query query  = session.createSQLQuery("select s.id,e.firstName, e.middleName  from SecurityPrincipals as s " +
        "left join Employee as e on e.userId=s.id " +
        " where s.id= :userId")
        .setResultTransformer(new AliasToBeanResultTransformer(EmployeeDTO.class));

Note that aliases of selected properties should match properties of EmployeeDTO. If it’s not so, you need to declare aliases for selected properties manually.
