APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
External value mapping used with multiselect criteria API creates a different result as with non-multiselect. Please make reference to below: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-2425
Local fix
No known work around at this time.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server V8.0.0, V8.5.0, and V8.5.5 who make * * use of JPA @ExternalValues. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: SELECT fields with @ExternalValues * * defined returns datastore values * * instead of unmapped fields. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** If entity fields is annotated with the following: @ExternalValues( { "SMALL=SML", "MEDIUM=MID", "LARGE=LRG" }) private String s1; An object query as follows will return umapped value in the object: Query q = em.createQuery("SELECT a from EntityA a"); EntityA aPrime = (EntityA) q.getSingleResult(); Assert.assertEquals("SMALL", aPrime.getS1()); However, a field query like the following will return mapped value from the datastore: q = em.createQuery("SELECT t0.s1 FROM EntityA t0"); List<Object[]> res = q.getResultList(); Iterator<Object[]> itr = res.iterator(); Object[] values = itr.next(); Assert.assertEquals("SMALL", values[1]); The previous 'assertEquals' will fail as values[1]=="SML". This problem also causes a similarly structured CritieriaAPI query to return incorrect values. If the field type is boolean, even if the database has "true" value, both of the above scenario will return false, due to new Boolean("non-true") always return false.
Problem conclusion
With this fix, code has been added to OpenJPA to ensure that @ExternalValues are properly mapped. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in Service Levels (Fix Packs) 8.0.0.8 and 8.5.5.2 of WebSphere Application Server versions 8.0.0 and 8.5.5.
