JPA Abs Function

In this section, you will learn about the JPA Abs() function. This method returns absolute value of the given field.

JPA Abs Function:

Query query=em.createQuery("SELECT p FROM Product p WHERE ABS(p.price)<50.0");

This query retrieve all products which have the price less than "50".

For JPA abs application, you need the following artifacts:

Database Table: product
Model Class: Product.java
Main Class: JPAAbsFunction.java

Database Table: product

CREATE TABLE `product` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`itemName` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
`price` double NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
)

Model Class: Product.java

/**
*
*/
package roseindia;

import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;

/**
* @author Administrator

*/
@Entity
@Table(name="product")
public class Product {

@Id
@GeneratedValue
private int id;
/**
* @return the id
*/
public int getId() {
return id;
}

/**
* @param id the id to set
*/
public void setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
}

@Column(name="itemName",length=50,nullable=false)
private String itemName;
/**
* @return the itemName
*/
public String getItemName() {
return itemName;
}

/**
* @param itemName the itemName to set
*/
public void setItemName(String itemName) {
this.itemName = itemName;
}

@Column(name="price")
private double price;
/**
* @return the price
*/
public double getPrice() {
return price;
}

/**
* @param price the price to set
*/
public void setPrice(double price) {
this.price = price;
}

}

Main Class: JPAAbsFunction.java

/**
*
*/
package roseindia;

import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.List;

import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory;
import javax.persistence.EntityTransaction;
import javax.persistence.Persistence;
import javax.persistence.Query;

/**
* @author Administrator
*
*/
public class JPAAbsFunction {

/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

EntityManagerFactory emf=Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("jpa");
EntityManager em=emf.createEntityManager();
try{
EntityTransaction entr=em.getTransaction();
entr.begin();
Query query=em.createQuery("SELECT p FROM Product p WHERE ABS(p.price)<50.0");
List pList=query.getResultList();
Iterator pIterator=pList.iterator();
while(pIterator.hasNext()){
Product pro=(Product)pIterator.next();
System.out.println("itemName:"+pro.getItemName());
}
entr.commit();
}
finally{
em.close();
}

}

}

Output:

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.hibernate.cfg.annotations.Version).

log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

Hibernate: select product0_.id as id1_, product0_.itemName as itemName1_, product0_.price as price1_ from product product0_ where abs(product0_.price)<50.0

itemName:Dall

itemName:Chock
