Java – Hibernate HQL join fetch not recursively fetching

hibernatehqljavajpa

I have the following query and method

private static final String FIND = "SELECT DISTINCT domain FROM Domain domain LEFT OUTER JOIN FETCH domain.operators LEFT OUTER JOIN FETCH domain.networkCodes WHERE domain.domainId = :domainId";

@Override
public Domain find(Long domainId) {
    Query query = getCurrentSession().createQuery(FIND);
    query.setLong("domainId", domainId);
    return (Domain) query.uniqueResult();
}

With Domain as

@Entity
@Table
public class Domain {
    @Id
    @GenericGenerator(name = "generator", strategy = "increment")
    @GeneratedValue(generator = "generator")
    @Column(name = "domain_id")
    private Long domainId;

    @Column(nullable = false, unique = true)
    @NotNull
    private String name;

    @Column(nullable = false)
    @NotNull
    @Enumerated(EnumType.STRING)
    private DomainType type;

    @OneToMany(cascade = {
            CascadeType.PERSIST,
            CascadeType.MERGE
    }, fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
    @JoinTable(joinColumns = {
            @JoinColumn(name = "domain_id")
    }, inverseJoinColumns = {
            @JoinColumn(name = "code")
    })
    @NotEmpty
    @Valid // needed to recur because we specify network codes when creating the domain
    private Set<NetworkCode> networkCodes = new HashSet<>();

    @ManyToMany(fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
    @JoinTable(joinColumns = {
            @JoinColumn(name = "parent", referencedColumnName = "domain_id")
    }, inverseJoinColumns = {
            @JoinColumn(name = "child", referencedColumnName = "domain_id")
    })
    private Set<Domain> operators = new HashSet<>();
    // more
}

I would expect this single query to fetch the Set<NetworkCode> and Set<Domain> relations, but it doesn't. Say that the Domain I query has two operators, Hibernate would perform 1 + 2 * 2 = 5 queries

Hibernate: select distinct domain0_.domain_id as domain1_1_0_, domain2_.domain_id as domain1_1_1_, networkcod4_.code as code2_2_, domain0_.name as name1_0_, domain0_.type as type1_0_, domain2_.name as name1_1_, domain2_.type as type1_1_, operators1_.parent as parent1_0__, operators1_.child as child4_0__, networkcod3_.domain_id as domain1_1_1__, networkcod3_.code as code5_1__ from domain domain0_ left outer join domain_operators operators1_ on domain0_.domain_id=operators1_.parent left outer join domain domain2_ on operators1_.child=domain2_.domain_id inner join domain_network_codes networkcod3_ on domain0_.domain_id=networkcod3_.domain_id inner join network_code networkcod4_ on networkcod3_.code=networkcod4_.code where domain0_.domain_id=?
Hibernate: select operators0_.parent as parent1_1_, operators0_.child as child4_1_, domain1_.domain_id as domain1_1_0_, domain1_.name as name1_0_, domain1_.type as type1_0_ from domain_operators operators0_ inner join domain domain1_ on operators0_.child=domain1_.domain_id where operators0_.parent=?
Hibernate: select networkcod0_.domain_id as domain1_1_1_, networkcod0_.code as code5_1_, networkcod1_.code as code2_0_ from domain_network_codes networkcod0_ inner join network_code networkcod1_ on networkcod0_.code=networkcod1_.code where networkcod0_.domain_id=?
Hibernate: select operators0_.parent as parent1_1_, operators0_.child as child4_1_, domain1_.domain_id as domain1_1_0_, domain1_.name as name1_0_, domain1_.type as type1_0_ from domain_operators operators0_ inner join domain domain1_ on operators0_.child=domain1_.domain_id where operators0_.parent=?
Hibernate: select networkcod0_.domain_id as domain1_1_1_, networkcod0_.code as code5_1_, networkcod1_.code as code2_0_ from domain_network_codes networkcod0_ inner join network_code networkcod1_ on networkcod0_.code=networkcod1_.code where networkcod0_.domain_id=?

I'm guessing this is because I'm joining the operators Domain elements but they have to join themselves.

Is there an HQL query I can execute that would do both?

Best Answer

If you know that you have only two levels in your tree, have you thought of joining deeper one level. Something like below?

SELECT DISTINCT domain FROM Domain domain 
  LEFT OUTER JOIN FETCH domain.operators operators1 
  LEFT OUTER JOIN FETCH domain.networkCodes 
  LEFT OUTER JOIN FETCH operators1.operators operators2 
  LEFT OUTER JOIN FETCH operators1.networkCodes
WHERE domain.domainId = :domainId
