Fetch specific property in hibernate One-to-many relationship - spring

Question

I have two pojo classes with one-to-many relationship in hibernate
CustomerAccountEnduserOrderDetails.class
#Entity #Table(name="customer_account_enduser_order_details")
public class CustomerAccountEnduserOrderDetails implements Serializable{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
#Column(name="id")
private Long id;
#ManyToOne(fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
#JoinColumn(name = "product_id", insertable = false, updatable = false)
private CustomerCmsProduct customerCmsProduct;
}
Second is CustomerCmsProduct.class
#Entity
#Table(name="customer_cms_product")
#JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class CustomerCmsProduct {
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
#Column(name="id")
private Long id;
#Column(name="name")
private String name;
#Column(name="offer_price")
private String offerPrice;
#Column(name="original_price")
private String originalPrice;
#Column(name="discount")
private String discount;
}
Here if I fetch the object of CustomerAccountEnduserOrderDetails class,then i will get the CustomerCmsProduct class also , my problem is that here i want the specific column of CustomerCmsProduct table (not all by default i am getting all) like only id and originalPrice.
How i can do like that projection here?

Answer 1

In the service layer or at a webservice layer( if this is a web project) Create two different classes other than #Entity as DTO(Data Transfer Objects) which helps is data transfer from one layer to the other.
public class CustomerAccountEnduserOrderDetailsPojo {
private List<CustomerCmsProductPojo> productPojoList = new ArrayList<> ();
// getter and setter
}
public class CustomerCmsProductPojo {}
Follow the below steps
Retrieve the #Entity class data by executing the query from service layer.
Iterate over all the fields and copy only required fields to pojo layer
Expose the data to other layers using service method.
This way, we can avoid changing the custom hibernate behavior as it is linked with many parameters like cache, one to many queries that are fired per iteration.
And also, do any customization that you want in this layer. Hope this is multi layered project where you have different layers which servers different purpose.
