JPA Tutorial - JPA Query In OneToMany Example

The following JPQL shows how to use IN operator in one to many mapping.

executeAndPrintQuery("SELECT DISTINCT p FROM Employee e, IN(e.directs) p");

Example

The following code is from Department.java.

package com.java2s.common;


import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collection;

import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.OneToMany;

@Entity
public class Department {
    @Id
    private int id;
    private String name;
    @OneToMany(mappedBy="department")
    private Collection<Employee> employees;

    public Department() {
        employees = new ArrayList<Employee>();
    }
    
    public void setId(int id) {
      this.id = id;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
      this.name = name;
    }

    public void setEmployees(Collection<Employee> employees) {
      this.employees = employees;
    }

    public int getId() {
        return id;
    }
    
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
    
    public Collection<Employee> getEmployees() {
        return employees;
    }

    public String toString() {
        return "Department no: " + getId() + 
               ", name: " + getName();
    }
}

The following code is from Project.java.

package com.java2s.common;
