Class ResultType
java.lang.Object
org.eclipse.persistence.config.ResultType
Result type hint values.
The class contains all the valid values for QueryHints.RESULT_TYPE query hint.
By default in JPA for non-single select queries an Array of values is returned.
If getSingleResult() is called the first array is returned, for getResultList() a List of arrays is returned.
i.e. "Select e.firstName, e.lastName from Employee e" returns List<Object[]>
or the native query, "SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE" returns List<Object[]>
The ResultType can be used to instead return a Map of values (DatabaseRecord, ReportQueryResult).
It can also be used to return a single column, or single value. JPA Query Hint Usage:
query.setHint(QueryHints.RESULT_TYPE, ResultType.Map);
or
@QueryHint(name=QueryHints.RESULT_TYPE, value=ResultType.Map)
Hint values are case-insensitive. "" could be used instead of default value ResultType.Array.
