Inner Joins Query in HQL

I'm unable to execute HQL for Inner Joins, Query is executing correct at sql but not in HQL. I don't know where i'm missing. Your help is appreciable.

 ***Error***: org.hibernate.hql.ast.QuerySyntaxError: unexpected token: ON near line 1, column 148 [SELECT op.username, op.email, orders.p_id, orders.o_id, product.listed_price FROM com.model.Orders  orders INNER JOIN orders.OrderProcessing as op ON op.u_id = orders.u_id INNER JOIN orders.Product as product ON product.p_id = orders.p_id WHERE product.p_id = '208' ORDER BY op.username]

productList = (List<Orders>) session.createQuery(
 "SELECT op.username, op.email, orders.p_id, orders.o_id, product.listed_price " +                                                                               
 "FROM Orders orders " +                                                                   
 "INNER JOIN orders.OrderProcessing as op " +                                                                                       
 "ON op.u_id = orders.u_id " +                                                         
 "INNER JOIN orders.Product as product " +                                                              
 "ON product.p_id = orders.p_id " +                                                        
 "WHERE product.p_id = '"+p_id +"' " +                                                         
 "ORDER BY op.username"
).list();

Joins in HQL have a slightly different syntax.

If you've already got those associations mapped with Hibernate, the join conditions (which id fields to do the join on) are usually handled by Hibernate itself (which already has that information defined in the mapping), so you only need to specify which attribute the association is mapped with, and do the join on it:

SELECT op.username, op.email, orders.p_id, orders.o_id, product.listed_price 
FROM Orders orders
INNER JOIN orders.orderProcessing as op
INNER JOIN orders.product as product 
ORDER BY op.username

In the case you haven't got those associations mapped, you should probably use a cross join like syntax, and specify the join conditions in the WHERE clause. Please note this could have a negative impact on efficiency depending on your schema structure and DBMS.

SELECT op.username, op.email, orders.p_id, orders.o_id, product.listed_price
FROM Orders orders, OrderProcessing op, Product product
WHERE op.u_id = orders.u_id AND product.p_id = orders.p_id
ORDER BY op.username

You can find more information on HQL joins in the 14.3. Associations and joins section of the Hibernate reference.

I suggest using Referencing Associated Entities.

In SQL, you will often join tables together to search for results by related Entities. In JPQL, you can reference the value of associated Entities by accessing them directly as Entity attributes in the query.

private static final String FIND_ORDERS_WITH_PRODUCTS =
       "from Order o " +
       "where :product member of o.products";

Note that Order is the entity class and products is the associated list.

then you can use it in your method like that:


List<Order> findOrders(Outfit o){
   TypedQuery<Order> query = entityManager.createQuery(FIND_ORDERS_WITH_PRODUCTS, Order.class);
   query.setParameter("outfit", o);
   return query.getResultList();
}

Joins in HQL do not work like in SQL. You can either join on an association:

select order_1.code, item.code, item.quantity 
 from Order order_1 inner join order_1.item item;

or use a multi-table select:

select order_1.code, item.code, item.quantity 
 from Order order_1, Item item where item.order=order_1;

either syntax has advantages and disadvantages, so you should choose depending on situation.

It is worth noting that there is also an implicit notation, which might make unnecessary to use the join at all:

select item.order.code, item.code, item.quantity from Item item;

I suspect it is because order is a reserved word (as in order by). Try doing FROM Orders o instead.

I think you'll have other problems too though.

Look at what you are selecting (a bunch of random column values), and what you are expecting Hibernate to return you (List<Orders>).

I expect you won't get back List<Orders> because the structure of your query will force hibernate into SQL mode instead of HQL. In this mode, you'll just get back a List<Object[]> where each Object[] is a set of those four columns you are selecting.

This link explains what you can expect to get back with different queries:
