EclipseLink/Examples/JPA/StoredProcedures

EclipseLink has extended support for stored procedure execution including:

• IN, OUT and INOUT parameter support
• CURSOR output parameter support
• Result set support
• Annotation support using @NamedStoredProcedureQuery
• Dynamic definition support using StoreProcedureCall
• Stored function support using StoredFunctionCall
• Object-relational data-types, Struct, Array (OBJECT types, VARRAY), including mapping using ObjectRelationalDatatypeDescriptor
• PLSQL types, BOOLEAN, RECORD, TABLE, using PLSQLStoredProcedureCall

A stored procedure call be used in any query to read objects, or read or modify raw data.

Any CRUD or mapping operation can also be overridden using a stored procedure call using a DescriptorCustomizer and the DescriptorQueryManager API.

Using JpaEntityManager createQuery() API to execute a stored procedure

import javax.persistence.Query;
import org.eclipse.persistence.queries.StoredProcedureCall;
import org.eclipse.persistence.queries.ReadAllQuery;
 
ReadAllQuery databaseQuery = new ReadAllQuery(Employee.class);
StoredProcedureCall call = new StoredProcedureCall();
databaseQuery.setCall(call);
 
Query query = ((JpaEntityManager)entityManager.getDelegate()).createQuery(databaseQuery);
List<Employee> result = query.getResultList();

Using @NamedStoredProcedureQuery to define a stored procedure

@NamedStoredProcedureQuery
@Entity
public class Employee {
 ...
}
