I'm using Hibernate's JPA and Java 8 to execute what should be a simple query and store the results in a list of class instances. However, when I execute the code, Java gives me a null pointer exception on the .createQuery line.

I've checked the variables being passed to the method, and they both contain valid, non-null data. The rows retrieved when I run the query manually on the database show no null entries in any of the received columns. All columns in the query are members of the GradeSummary class and the Board class.

I'm at a loss. Why is this query not working?

public List<GradeSummary> getGradeSummaryList(VdtsSysDB vdtsSysDB, BoardLoad boardLoad) {
    List<GradeSummary> gradeSummaries = vdtsSysDB
            .getEntityManager()
            .createQuery(
            "select new ca.vdts.grading.model.GradeSummary(grade, " +
            "count(*), " +
            "sum(footBoardMeasure)) " +
            "from Board " +
            "where boardLoad = :load " +
            "group by grade", GradeSummary.class)
            .setParameter("load", boardLoad)
            .getResultList();
    gradeSummaries.sort(Comparator.comparing(gradeSummary -> gradeSummary.getGrade().getName()));
    return gradeSummaries;
}

The exception is:

  • Raise a bug on your chosen JPA provider for throwing NPE. Whatever the root cause it should never throw NPE, so they need to cater for that Commented Aug 20, 2018 at 6:22

Reset to default
2

GradeSummary needs a no-arg constructor. By providing your own, you removed the default one.

The reason for this is that JPA needs to create an instance of your object, and then hydrate it. It must start this by calling newInstance() on your class, and has not a clue about parameters.
