hibernate-spatial: sql query to retrieve a geometry

Question

I'm using postgresql, hibernate-spatial and postgis and expected to be able to use a SqlQuery to retrieve a Geometry object.

However whenever I try to query a Point, Polygon or Geometry eg

List list = session.createSQLQuery(
    "select geomfromewkt('SRID=1;POINT(1 1)')").list();

I get the exception:

Caused by: org.hibernate.MappingException: No Dialect mapping for JDBC type: 1111

hibernate.cfg.xml:

<property name="dialect">org.hibernatespatial.postgis.PostgisDialect</property>

Is this not part of the hibernate-spatial offering or am i doing something wrong?

Thanks, Paul.

Answer 1

I've figured it out. I need to apply the 'GeometryUserType' to the column via a scalar.

SQLQuery qry = session.createSQLQuery("select geomfromewkt('SRID=1;POINT(1 1)') as geom");
qry.addScalar("geom", GeometryUserType.TYPE);
List<Geometry> list = qry.list();

Answer 2

I'm using Hibernate 5.1.0 Final,

dao.getSession().createSQLQuery("select buffer from puntosdeinteres where puntoid = 13193")
                        .addScalar("buffer", new GeolatteGeometryType(PGGeometryTypeDescriptor.INSTANCE))
                        .uniqueResult();

And it works, but right now I find that long statement uncomfortable.
