Subquery in select clause with JPA Criteria API

Question

I\'m trying, as in title, to insert a subquery in select clause like in this simple SQL:

SELECT id, name, (select cou         


        

Answer 1

It is supported in JPA 2.1 and Hibernate 5.0. You just had to add getSelection() to the subquery argument in the multiselect of the main query.

c.multiselect(item.get("id"),item.get("nome"), scount.getSelection());

Take a look at this working example:

CriteriaBuilder builder = em.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery cq = builder.createQuery(NotificationInfo.class); //wrapper class
Root n = cq.from(Notification.class); //root entity

//Subquery
Subquery sqSent = cq.subquery(Long.class);
Root sqSentNU = sqSent.from(NotificationUser.class);
sqSent.select(builder.count(sqSentNU));
sqSent.where(
        builder.equal(sqSentNU.get(NotificationUser_.notification), n),  //join subquery with main query
        builder.isNotNull(sqSentNU.get(NotificationUser_.sendDate))
);

cq.select(
    builder.construct(
            NotificationInfo.class,
            n.get(Notification_.idNotification),
            n.get(Notification_.creationDate),
            n.get(Notification_.suspendedDate),
            n.get(Notification_.type),
            n.get(Notification_.title),
            n.get(Notification_.description),
            sqSent.getSelection()
    )
);
em.createQuery(cq).getResultList();
