JPA : How to convert a native query result set to POJO class collection

Question

I am using JPA in my project.

I came to a query in which I need to make join operation on five tables. So I created a native query which returns five fields.

Answer 1

Unwrap procedure can be performed to assign results to non-entity(which is Beans/POJO). The procedure is as following.

List dtoList = entityManager.createNativeQuery(sql)
        .setParameter("userId", userId)
        .unwrap(org.hibernate.Query.class).setResultTransformer(Transformers.aliasToBean(JobDTO.class)).list();

The usage is for JPA-Hibernate implementation.
