Hibernate JPA Criteria API throwing NullPointerException and ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

Question

I am using Hibernate 5.2.4.Final along with Spring boot 2.0 for my project and writing queries using JPA Criteria APIs.

For a long time, the hibernate was working fine, but from last few days, the getSingleResult() , list() methods are throwing either NullPointerExceptions or ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsExceptions .

It is also happening when I try to get the child records, like OneToOne, ManyToOne, OneToMany using getters from the POJO class. Below is the POJO class.

Any help is appreciated.

@Getter
@Setter
@NoArgsConstructor
@EqualsAndHashCode(exclude = {}, callSuper = true)
//@org.hibernate.annotations.Cache(region = "common", usage = CacheConcurrencyStrategy.READ_WRITE)
@Entity
@ToString(exclude = {})
@Table(name = "node")
public class Node extends DateTimeConstants {

    @Id
    @JsonIgnore
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    @Column(name = "id")
    private Long id;

    @NotEmpty(message = "{NotEmpty.name}")
    @Pattern(regexp = "^[a-z0-9]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?(\\.[a-z0-9]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?)*$",
            message = "{Pattern.name}")
    @Length(min = 4, max = 50, message = "{Length.name}")
    @Column(name = "name")
    private String name;

    @Column(name = "kind")
    private String kind;

    @Column(name = "type")
    private String type;

    @OneToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
    @JoinColumn(name = "template_id", referencedColumnName = "id")
    private NodeTemplate template;

    @Column(name = "current_status")
    private String currentStatus;

    @Column(name = "previous_status")
    private String previousStatus;

    @Column(name = "message")
    private String message;

    @JsonIgnore
    @Type(type = "text")
    @Column(name = "reason")
    private String reason;

    @OneToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
    @JoinColumn(name = "spec_id", referencedColumnName = "id")
    private Spec spec;

    @JsonIgnoreProperties({"projects", "node"})
    @OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, mappedBy = "node", targetEntity = NodeService.class)
    @Cascade({org.hibernate.annotations.CascadeType.SAVE_UPDATE, org.hibernate.annotations.CascadeType.DELETE})
    private Set<NodeService> nodeService = new HashSet<NodeService>();
}`

The method responsible to get the row

@Override
public List<Node> getNodes(String type, Long id) {
    Session session = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
    CriteriaBuilder criteria = session.getCriteriaBuilder();
    CriteriaQuery<Node> query = criteria.createQuery(Node.class);

    Root<Node> from = query.from(Node.class);

    query.select(from)
            .where(criteria.equal(from.get("type"), type),
                    criteria.equal(from.get("spec").get("id"), id));

    return session.createQuery(query).getResultList();
}

Below is the error stack which I am getting on my console.

 public NodeService getNodeService(String type, Long id) {

            List<Node> nodes = nodeDao.getNodes(type, id);

            if (nodes == null || nodes.size() == 0) {
                return null;
            }

return nodes.get(0).getNodeService();

            return anchorPeers;
        }

---------- My Solution ---------------

It turns out BIT data type can create problems in reading and mapping the values with POJO variables.

Answer 1

One problem with the getSingleResult() methot could be, that it throws exeptions if the query gives back nothing (no rows found within your select). Then it throws a NoResultException at runtime.

if you try to do something with the Result you will get an Nullpointer exception if im correct, since there is no Object to do something with.

Try to use the getResultList() method witch gives you all the rows the query returns in a list.

Make the Query so there comes only the specific row back you wish for or at leas as the First Object in the List. Then you can get the Object like this:

List results = query.getResultList();
Entity foundEntity = null;
if(!results.isEmpty()){
    // ignores multiple results
    foundEntity = results.get(0);
}
