I'm trying to use entities with a MySQL ndbcluster table. This table type doesn't allow foreign keys, but up until now it hasn't been a problem with my entities.
However, I have run into a bit of a problem, when I try to load an entity using the EntityManager's createNativeQuery method. I need to use this method due to my inability to do this: How to make a CriteriaBuilder join with a custom "on" condition?
My MySQL table looks like this:
CREATE TABLE `category` (
`id` SMALLINT(6) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`category_id` SMALLINT(6) NULL DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
INDEX `category_id` (`category_id`)
)
COLLATE='utf8_general_ci'
ENGINE=ndbcluster
ROW_FORMAT=DEFAULT
If I change the table engine to innodb, and add foreign keys, the createNativeQuery method works fine.
My entity class looks like this:
@Entity
@Table(name = "category")
public class Category implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
@Basic(optional = false)
@Column(name = "id")
private Short id;
@OneToMany(mappedBy = "categoryId")
private List<Category> categoryList;
@JoinColumn(name = "category_id", referencedColumnName = "id")
@ManyToOne
private Category categoryId;
public Category() {
}
// getters and setters
}
Even without foreign keys, this entity works fine when I use the CriteriaBuilder for a query, but unfortunately not everything is possible with the CriteriaBuilder.
I get an error when I call getResultList on a Query object created with createNativeQuery. I don't know if this is a bug, or if something should be added to my entity class to make this work.
The error says:
Exception [EclipseLink-6044] (Eclipse Persistence Services - 2.3.2.v20111125-r10461): org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.QueryException
Exception Description: The primary key read from the row [ArrayRecord(

My table contains 1 row, where id=1 and category_id=null, so there are no primary keys with a null-value, despite what the error says. If I remove that row or set category_id=1, I don't get an error.
Need help, please.
