Inner join with select on HQL

I want to do something like that with HQL:

SELECT *
FROM tableA a
INNER JOIN (select fieldA, sum(fieldB) as sum from tableB) b
ON a.fieldA = b.fieldA and a.fieldC = b.sum;

But this gives an error:

org.hibernate.hql.internal.ast.QuerySyntaxException: unexpected token: (...

There is any way to make this using HQL and Hibernate?

try the native SQL solution approach:

need toimport this first:

import org.hibernate.SQLQuery;

then somewhere in your code:

SQLQuery query = session.createSQLQuery(
    "SELECT * FROM tableA a
    INNER JOIN 
    (SELECT fieldA, sum(fieldB) as sum from tableB) b
    ON a.fieldA = b.fieldA and a.fieldC = b.sum"
);

You can try to do such thing with HQL:

String sqlText = 
        "select entityA 
         from EntityA entityA, EntityB entityB 
         where entityA.fieldA=entityB.fieldA 
         and entityA.fieldC=(select sum(entityB.fieldB) 
                             from EntityB entityB 
                             where entityB.fieldA=entityA.fieldA)"

Query query = session.createQuery(sqlText);

It should work similar to your sql. About your statement - as I know you cannot use inner view in HQL because it is object oriented.

Here is a good article about joins in HQL.

EDIT:

According to notes from user1495181 above query can be rewritten like (but I'm not sure):

String sqlText = 
        "select entityA 
         from EntityA entityA
         join entityA.entitiesB entityB
         Where entityA.fieldC=(select sum(entityB.fieldB) 
                             from EntityB entityB 
                             where entityB.fieldA=entityA.fieldA)"

But I prefer first variant because as for me it is more understandable (especially for peoples who used to work with native SQL).

You cannot define the join with on keyword. Hibernate know how to do the join based on your mapping. If you define a relation in the mapping between a and b than hibernate will do the join based on the relation that you defined. If you have relation between a and b than do inner join without using on and put the join criteria in the where clause
