Not getting column names in the result of hql quer

Question

I am getting records from database table using hql query in spring boot. I am returning result in json object using @ResponseBody. I am getting only data but not getting column names so i am unable to understand which column containg which data.

Here is my DAO

@Transactional
public interface MyDaoInterface extends CrudRepository<Rating, Long>{

@Query(countByPostId)
List<Rating> countByPostId(Long post_id);

final String countByPostId= "select new netgloo.models.CountAndPoints(count(r.id), r.points)) from Rating r where r.postId = ?1 group by r.points";

}

Here is my controller

  @RequestMapping(value = "/rating/{id}", produces="application/json")
  @ResponseBody 
  public List<Rating> getRatingInfo(@PathVariable("id") long id,    HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws Exception {

  List<Rating> postobj = myDao.countByPostId(id);
  return postobj;
  }

Getting data like

[
{
"count": 3,
"points": 1
},
{
"count": 2,
"points": 2
},
{
"count": 4,
"points": 3
}
]

But i want like

"result:"[
{
"count": 3,
"points": 1
},
{
"count": 2,
"points": 2
},
{
"count": 4,
"points": 3
}
]

New class CountAndPoints

package netgloo.models;

public class CountAndPoints {

private long count;

private long points;

public long getCount() {
    return count;
}

public void setCount(long count) {
    this.count = count;
}

public long getPoints() {
    return points;
}

public void setPoints(long points) {
    this.points = points;
}

}

Answer 1

@Query(countByPostId)
List<Rating> countByPostId(Long post_id);

final String countByPostId= "select count(r.id), r.points from Rating r where r.postId=?1 group by r.points";

This doesn't make much sense. Your query does not return a list of Rating instances. It returns a list of Object arrays, where each array contains 2 elements: a count and a number of points.

The Rating class doesn't even have a field containing counts anyway.

You need some class that contains these two fields, and a query that returns instances of this class:

select new com.foo.bar.CountAndPoints(count(r.id), r.points) from Rating r where r.postId = ?1 group by r.points"

Answer 2

Spring generates the query for you in that case. Use this code instead:

@Transactional
public interface MyDaoInterface extends CrudRepository<Rating, Long>{
  List<Rating> findByPostId(Long post_id);
}
