JPA/Hibernate 4 - getting ScrollableResults

Question

I am using Hibernate 4.2 as my JPA provider. I want to use a ScrollableResults object to process my result set.

My code looks like this, essentially:

javax.persistence.Query q = em.createQuery(...);
org.hibernate.Query query = ((org.hibernate.ejb.QueryImpl)q).getHibernateQuery();
query.setParameter(blah blah);
ScrollableResults sr = query.scroll(ScrollMode.FORWARD_ONLY);

This always throws an exception:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.util.ArrayList cannot be cast to java.lang.Integer

As an experiment, replacing query.scroll() with query.list() also produces the same exception.

The QueryImpl type is a raw type, but I can't figure out what to put in there, or if that's even what the problem is.

My query returns a date followed by several ints; it does not map directly to a class. I just want an array of objects - I have loads of data to process, and mapping to objects will just slow me down!

Thanks to a good tip from fmodos, the exception was arising because I was calling:

org.hibernate.Query.setParameter("groupids", list);

The problem is resolved by calling one of the following:

org.hibernate.Query.setParameterList("groupids", list);
javax.persistence.Query.setParameter("groupids", list);
