I want to have a JPQL query that may look like:
entityManager.createQuery("Select a.* from A a WHERE CAST(a.num AS TEXT) LIKE '%345%' ", A.class);
where a.num is an integer. I want to cast this to String to use the LIKE criteria. However above casting doesnt work in JPQL. Any idea about how can I implement this?
I also have the same need. This should work with JPA 2.0 and Hibernate 5.0.2:
entityManager.createQuery(
"Select a.* from A a WHERE CONCAT(a.num, '') LIKE '%345%' ", A.class);
From hibernate document, "cast(... as ...)", where the second argument is the name of a Hibernate type. According list of Hibernate Types it should be string (case sensitive!).
So request should be:
entityManager.createQuery("select a.* from A a WHERE CAST(a.num AS string) LIKE '%345%' ", A.class);
Was taken and checked from Caused by: org.hibernate.QueryException: Could not resolve requested type for CAST : INT answer.
The correct query is :
entityManager.createQuery("Select a.* from A a WHERE CAST(a.num AS String) LIKE '%345%' ", A.class);
