带有别名的MySQL select语句失败，找不到列

Question

Development Environment Reference:

Fedora FC18
Tomcat Server 7.0.39 (localhost config)
Eclipse Juno Release 2
Mysql-connecor-java Ver. 5.1.26 (jar)
Mysql-server Ver. 5.5.32 (jar)

The following select statement fails with "column 'depth' not found":

"select node.subEntityID, node.lft, node.rgt, (count(parent.subEntityID) - 1) as depth
 from ENTITY as node, ENTITY as parent
 where node.lft between parent.lft and parent.rgt
 group by node.subEntityID order by node.lft";

This select statement succeeds using command-level mysql as

use dbName;
select node.subEntityID, node.lft, node.rgt, (count(parent.subEntityID) - 1) as depth
  from ENTITY as node, ENTITY as parent
  where node.lft between parent.lft and parent.rgt
  group by node.subEntityID order by node.lft;

The select statement also succeeds when using an SQL query in MySQL Workbench ver. 5.2.4.7.

The relevant Java code fragment is given below:

rs = stmt.executeQuery(typeEntityList);
// The depth alias does not print out in this for loop
for (int i=1; i<rs.getMetaData().getColumnCount()+1; i++) {
    System.out.println(rs.getMetaData().getColumnName(i));
    System.out.println(rs.getMetaData().getColumnLabel(i));
}
while (rs.next()) {
    // "depth" fails at the following statement
    System.out.println("depth: " + rs.getInt("depth"));
    String s = rs.getString("lft") + "  "
        + rs.getString("subEntityID") + "  "
        + rs.getString("rgt");
    System.out.println(s);
    entityList.add(s);
}

Also, I found on a Google search that MySQL's alias behavior changed in recent versions. A suggested fix was to append "?useOldAliasMetadataBehavior=true" to the MySQL connection string to revert back to the original behavior, but that did not correct the problem.

Here's the stack trace:

Answer 1

Well StackOverflow members, I found the problem, but now I'm bald from pulling my hair out all these hours.

On Eclipse Juno, there is a selection to "Organnize Imports" of the Java source." So when I have an undefined variable, I use this convenient option to clear up the imports. Eclipse Juno imported the mysql connector, "java.sql.connection" instead of the "com.mysql.jdbc.connection" connector. I changed the imports of the java sources, and now I'm good to move forward with this servlet. But not after I go out and get some Propecia or Rogaine or ?. ... Roy W.

I encounter the similar problem in my project (i'm using Eclipse Luna).

The way i overcome it, is to set the MysqlDataSource to setUseOldAliasMetadataBehavior(true) ;
