    Problem with native query

    terramekh

      Hello!

      I have experienced a problem using native query for selecting CHAR(3) column from DB.

      The code is:

      @Stateless
      public class NtrBean implements NtrRemote
      {
       @PersistenceContext(unitName = "probe")
       EntityManager entityManager;
      
       public String getMeasure(Long tnvedId) throws Exception
       {
       Query getMeasureQuery = entityManager.createNativeQuery("select test from test_table where id = :id");
       getMeasureQuery.setParameter("id", tnvedId);
       try
       {
       return (String)getMeasureQuery.getSingleResult();
       }
       catch(NoResultException ex)
       {
       return null;
       }
       }
      }
      


      As a result of executing of the code snippet I get:

      javax.ejb.EJBException: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Character
      


      So, here it is: native query selects CHAR(3) as one Character object. If I have 'her' value in my 'test' column, then I get 'h'.

      I couldn't find any reasonable explanation of this. I've tried this on Informix 9.4 and MySQL 5.0 DB's and had the same effect.

      When

      Query getMeasureQuery = entityManager.createNativeQuery("select test from test_table where id = :id");
      


      is replaced by:

      Query getMeasureQuery = entityManager.createQuery("select ts.test from TestTable as ts where ts.id = :id");
      


      everything works just great.

      I don't think problem could reside in my DB-Java mappings in standardjbosscmp-jdbc.xm as I've already tried to play with it.

      Could anyone help me?
