Calling stored procedure from Java / JPA

Question

I am writing a simple web application to call a stored procedure and retrieve some data. Its a very simple application, which interacts with client's database. We pass employee id and company id and the stored procedure will return employee details.

Web application cannot update/delete data and is using SQL Server.

I am deploying my web application in Jboss AS. Should I use JPA to access the stored procedure or CallableStatement. Any advantage of using JPA in this case.

Also what will be the sql statement to call this stored procedure. I have never used stored procedures before and I am struggling with this one. Google was not much of a help.

Here is the stored procedure:

CREATE procedure getEmployeeDetails (@employeeId int, @companyId int)
as
begin
    select firstName, 
           lastName, 
           gender, 
           address
      from employee et
     where et.employeeId = @employeeId
       and et.companyId = @companyId
end

Update:

For anyone else having problem calling stored procedure using JPA.

Query query = em.createNativeQuery("{call getEmployeeDetails(?,?)}",
                                   EmployeeDetails.class)           
                                   .setParameter(1, employeeId)
                                   .setParameter(2, companyId);

List<EmployeeDetails> result = query.getResultList();

Things I have noticed:

1. Parameter names didn't work for me, so try using parameter index.
2. Correct sql statement {call sp_name(?,?)} instead of call sp_name(?,?)
3. If stored procedure is returning a result set, even if you know with only one row, getSingleResult wont work
4. Pass a resultSetMapping name or result class details

Answer 1

JPA 2.0 doesn't support RETURN values, only calls.

My solution was. Create a FUNCTION calling PROCEDURE.

So, inside JAVA code you execute a NATIVE QUERY calling the oracle FUNCTION.

Answer 2

This answer might be helpful if you have entity manager

I had a stored procedure to create next number and on server side I have seam framework.

Client side

 Object on = entityManager.createNativeQuery("EXEC getNextNmber").executeUpdate();
        log.info("New order id: " + on.toString());

Database Side (SQL server) I have stored procedure named getNextNmber

Answer 3

Try this code:

return em.createNativeQuery("{call getEmployeeDetails(?,?)}",
                               EmployeeDetails.class)           
                               .setParameter(1, employeeId)
                               .setParameter(2, companyId).getResultList();

Answer 4

You can use @Query(value = "{call PROC_TEST()}", nativeQuery = true) in your repository. This worked for me.

Attention: use '{' and '}' or else it will not work.

Answer 5

JPA 2.1 now support Stored Procedure, read the Java doc here.

Example:

StoredProcedureQuery storedProcedure = em.createStoredProcedureQuery("sales_tax");
// set parameters
storedProcedure.registerStoredProcedureParameter("subtotal", Double.class, ParameterMode.IN);
storedProcedure.registerStoredProcedureParameter("tax", Double.class, ParameterMode.OUT);
storedProcedure.setParameter("subtotal", 1f);
// execute SP
storedProcedure.execute();
// get result
Double tax = (Double)storedProcedure.getOutputParameterValue("tax");

See detailed example here.

persistence.xml

 <persistence-unit name="PU2" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
<non-jta-data-source>jndi_ws2</non-jta-data-source>
<exclude-unlisted-classes>false</exclude-unlisted-classes>
<properties/>

codigo java

  String PERSISTENCE_UNIT_NAME = "PU2";
    EntityManagerFactory factory2;
    factory2 = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory(PERSISTENCE_UNIT_NAME);

    EntityManager em2 = factory2.createEntityManager();
    boolean committed = false;
    try {

        try {
            StoredProcedureQuery storedProcedure = em2.createStoredProcedureQuery("PKCREATURNO.INSERTATURNO");
            // set parameters
            storedProcedure.registerStoredProcedureParameter("inuPKEMPRESA", BigDecimal.class, ParameterMode.IN);
            storedProcedure.registerStoredProcedureParameter("inuPKSERVICIO", BigDecimal.class, ParameterMode.IN);
            storedProcedure.registerStoredProcedureParameter("inuPKAREA", BigDecimal.class, ParameterMode.IN);
            storedProcedure.registerStoredProcedureParameter("isbCHSIGLA", String.class, ParameterMode.IN);
            storedProcedure.registerStoredProcedureParameter("INUSINCALIFICACION", BigInteger.class, ParameterMode.IN);
            storedProcedure.registerStoredProcedureParameter("INUTIMBRAR", BigInteger.class, ParameterMode.IN);
            storedProcedure.registerStoredProcedureParameter("INUTRANSFERIDO", BigInteger.class, ParameterMode.IN);
            storedProcedure.registerStoredProcedureParameter("INTESTADO", BigInteger.class, ParameterMode.IN);
            storedProcedure.registerStoredProcedureParameter("inuContador", BigInteger.class, ParameterMode.OUT);

            BigDecimal inuPKEMPRESA = BigDecimal.valueOf(1);
            BigDecimal inuPKSERVICIO = BigDecimal.valueOf(5);
            BigDecimal inuPKAREA = BigDecimal.valueOf(23);
            String isbCHSIGLA = "";
            BigInteger INUSINCALIFICACION = BigInteger.ZERO;
            BigInteger INUTIMBRAR = BigInteger.ZERO;
            BigInteger INUTRANSFERIDO = BigInteger.ZERO;
            BigInteger INTESTADO = BigInteger.ZERO;
            BigInteger inuContador = BigInteger.ZERO;

            storedProcedure.setParameter("inuPKEMPRESA", inuPKEMPRESA);
            storedProcedure.setParameter("inuPKSERVICIO", inuPKSERVICIO);
            storedProcedure.setParameter("inuPKAREA", inuPKAREA);
            storedProcedure.setParameter("isbCHSIGLA", isbCHSIGLA);
            storedProcedure.setParameter("INUSINCALIFICACION", INUSINCALIFICACION);
            storedProcedure.setParameter("INUTIMBRAR", INUTIMBRAR);
            storedProcedure.setParameter("INUTRANSFERIDO", INUTRANSFERIDO);
            storedProcedure.setParameter("INTESTADO", INTESTADO);
            storedProcedure.setParameter("inuContador", inuContador);

            // execute SP
            storedProcedure.execute();
            // get result

            try {
                long _inuContador = (long) storedProcedure.getOutputParameterValue("inuContador");
                varCon = _inuContador + "";
            } catch (Exception e) {
            } 
        } finally {

        }
    } finally {
        em2.close();
    }
