Question

I’m running an application in JBoss and Using JPA.

For a report I need a group by query which I expect to return a result set with the following structure example:

count,idA,idB

I did not find a way to implement this in JPA.

What are my best options for implementing this considering I’m developing in JBoss 5, EJB3

Answer 1

You can use a custom holder class and use the NEW keyword in your query:

SELECT NEW com.mycompany.myapp.MyClass(count, idA, idB)
FROM ...
WHERE ...

Of course, MyClass needs to have the proper constructor defined.
