Given the query example here: http://www.hibernatespatial.org/tutorial-hs4.html
Query query = em.createQuery("select e from Event e where within(e.location, :filter) = true", Event.class);
query.setParameter("filter", filter);
Is it possible to rewrite the query using jpa 2 criteria api?( I am unsure how i should deal with the within(e.location, :filter)
part.
I recently work at the exact same problem. My solution is a own Predicate for the within-keyword.
public class WithinPredicate extends AbstractSimplePredicate implements Serializable {
private final Expression<Point> matchExpression;
private final Expression<Geometry> area;
public WithinPredicate(CriteriaBuilderImpl criteriaBuilder, Expression<Point> matchExpression, Geometry area) {
this(criteriaBuilder, matchExpression, new LiteralExpression<Geometry>(criteriaBuilder, area));
}
public WithinPredicate(CriteriaBuilderImpl criteriaBuilder, Expression<Point> matchExpression, Expression<Geometry> area) {
super(criteriaBuilder);
this.matchExpression = matchExpression;
this.area = area;
}
public Expression<Point> getMatchExpression() {
return matchExpression;
}
public Expression<Geometry> getArea() {
return area;
}
public void registerParameters(ParameterRegistry registry) {
// Nothing to register
}
@Override
public String render(boolean isNegated, RenderingContext renderingContext) {
StringBuilder buffer = new StringBuilder();
buffer.append(" within(")
.append(((Renderable) getMatchExpression()).render(renderingContext))
.append(", ")
.append(((Renderable) getArea()).render(renderingContext))
.append(") = true ");
return buffer.toString();
}
}
Your query would look like this:
public List<Event> findEventInArea(Geometry area){
CriteriaBuilder cb = em.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<Event> c = cb.createQuery(Event.class);
Root<Event> event = c.from(Event.class);
c.where(new WithinPredicate((CriteriaBuilderImpl) cb, event.get(Event_.location), area));
Query query = entityManager.createQuery(c);
return query.getResultList();
}
JPA does not support spatial. However, you can unwrap the hibernate session from your JPA EntityManager and run spatial criteria.
The lat lon bounds in this code sample is arbitrary.
@PersistenceContext(unitName = "myPuName")
private EntityManager entityManager;
@Override
public List<City> findCities() {
CriteriaBuilder criteriaBuilder = entityManager.getCriteriaBuilder();
Session session = entityManager.unwrap(Session.class);
Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria(City.class);
GeometryFactory geometryFactory = new GeometryFactory();
Coordinate[] coordinates = {new Coordinate(-9,-9,0),new Coordinate(-9,9,0),new Coordinate(9,9,0),new Coordinate(9,-9,0),new Coordinate(-9,-9,0)};
LinearRing polygon = geometryFactory.createLinearRing(coordinates);
Polygon po = geometryFactory.createPolygon(polygon,null);
criteria.add(SpatialRestrictions.within(City_.location.getName(), po));
List list = criteria.list();
return list;
}
Here is some more code not directly related to the question. This class can be used as an "Order" criteria to be added to a hibernate criteria. It will sort results by distance from the argument location:
public class KnnOrder extends Order {
private final Point fromPoint;
public KnnOrder(String propertyName, boolean ascending, Point fromPoint) {
super(propertyName, ascending);
this.fromPoint = fromPoint;
}
@Override
public String toSqlString(Criteria criteria, CriteriaQuery criteriaQuery) {
Dialect dialect = criteriaQuery.getFactory().getDialect();
if (!dialect.getClass().isAssignableFrom(PostgisDialect.class)) {
throw new UnsupportedOperationException("This supports only postgis dialect. Was requested: " + dialect.toString());
}
// final String[] columns = criteriaQuery.getColumnsUsingProjection(criteria, super.getPropertyName());
// String fromPointWkt = WKTWriter.toPoint(fromPoint.getCoordinate());
return "location <-> st_setsrid(st_makepoint(" + fromPoint.getX() + "," + fromPoint.getY() + "),4326)";
}
