How to fix running a sql query in spring boot?

Question

I am trying to run different SQL queries in my spring boot application, however when I use the code it produces an error where it can't compile. I am not sure if it is because of the way the query is setup, or because I just placed it into the wrong place. Please I have been researching how to properly place a SQL query in spring boot but have not found any information that would help me for the project I am working on.

Repository:

    package com.John.db;

    import java.util.List;



    import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository;
    import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.Query;
    import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;

    import com.John.model.AVSApplication;
    import com.John.model.AVSMapped;
    import com.John.model.ApplicationDTO;


    @Repository
    public interface AppRepository extends JpaRepository<AVSApplication, String>{


        @Query("SELECT new com.UPS.model.ApplicationDTO(d.appcode, d.acro, d.appname, e.mgpstatus) FROM AVSApplication d LEFT JOIN d.avsMapped e")
        List<ApplicationDTO> fetchEmpDeptDataLeftJoin();


        @Query("SELECT * FROM tier")
        List<String> getServerInfo();


    }

Code Segment:

    @Query("SELECT * FROM tier")
            List<String> getServerInfo();

Error:

    org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'AVSController': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'mAppRepo'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'appRepository': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Validation failed for query for method public abstract java.util.List com.UPS.db.AppRepository.getServerInfo()!

Answer 1

Depending on the attribute that you want to get from the tier table, let us call it name , you might need to fix your query to select that attribute instead of *. For example:

SELECT t.name FROM tier t
