How to use EclipseLink Pagination
There are a variety of solution options for paging results in an EclipseLink JPA application. This how-to highlights various approaches with code samples of how they can be used.
Database Cursors
In a stateful environment a cursor can be used to pull in only those entities/data requested.
FirstResult/MaxRows
Database Specific SQL
EclipseLink's target database platform enables the generation of native SQL that can more optimally retrieve a set of rows.
Oracle ROWNUM
When the target platform is Oracle then ROWNUM is used in the generated SQL in addition to a hint to retrieve a page of results.
Query query = em .createQuery("SELECT e FROM Employee e ORDER BY e.lastName ASC, e.firstName ASC"); query.setFirstResult(5); query.setMaxResults(5); List<Employee> emps = query.getResultList();
Generates the SQL like:
SELECT * FROM (SELECT /*+ FIRST_ROWS */ a.*, ROWNUM rnum FROM (SELECT t0.EMP_ID AS EMP_ID1, t1.EMP_ID AS EMP_ID2, t0.F_NAME AS F_NAME3, t0.L_NAME AS L_NAME4, t0.START_TIME AS START_TIME5, t0.END_TIME AS END_TIME6, t0.GENDER AS GENDER7, t1.SALARY AS SALARY8, t0.VERSION AS VERSION9, t0.START_DATE AS START_DATE10, t0.END_DATE AS END_DATE11, t0.MANAGER_ID AS MANAGER_ID12, t0.ADDR_ID AS ADDR_ID13 FROM EMPLOYEE t0, SALARY t1 WHERE (t1.EMP_ID = t0.EMP_ID) ORDER BY t0.L_NAME ASC, t0.F_NAME ASC) a WHERE ROWNUM <= ?) WHERE rnum > ? bind => [10, 5]
