Question

I'm trying execute following query:

String query = "select entity, entity.id from Site entity";
List resultList = entityManager.createQuery(query).getResultList();

And take exception:

What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Your data types are mismatched when you are retrieving the field values. Check your code and ensure that for each field that you are retrieving that the java object matches that type. For example, retrieving a date into and int. If you are doing a select * then it is possible a change in the fields of the table has happened causing this error to occur. Your SQL should only select the fields you specifically want in order to avoid this error.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Check your Entity class. Use String instead of Long and float instead of double .

Answer 3

I had the same problem and this is my solution. I had the following code:

se.GiftDescription = rs.getString(1);
se.GiftAmount = rs.getInt(2);

And I changed it to:

se.GiftDescription = rs.getString("DESCRIPTION");
se.GiftAmount = rs.getInt("AMOUNT");

And the problem was, after I restarted my PC, the column positions changed. That's why I got this error.

Answer 4

Check with your bean class. Column data type and bean datatype must be same.
