How to resolve No converter found capable of converting from type TupleBackedMap to type [com.example.dto.ExampleDto]

Question

org.springframework.core.convert.ConverterNotFoundException: No converter found capable of converting from type [org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.query.AbstractJpaQuery$TupleConverter$TupleBackedMap] to type [com.example.dto.ExampleDto]

The above error is being thrown when I have a query that returns 2 values in a native JPA query is being used. I'm capturing the query response in the DTO below:

@Data
@Entity
@NoArgsConstructor
@AllArgsConstructor
@Builder
public class ExampleDto {
    @Id
    private String name1;
    private int nameFlag;
}

And in a DAO class, I'm calling the native query as below. The query works in SQL Developer and returns 2 records. But when called as below , it throws the above error.

List<ExampleDto> getExampleDto = myJPARepository.
                .findNameObject(uuid);

There is something wrong in the DTO class, which i need to change. Annotations? I'm not sure what is missing here, and try as I might , putting in @Entity annotation, @Data annotation , I'm not able to resolve this error when the query is called.

UPDATE: The native query associated with this is

@Query(value = "select name1, nameFlag from NameTable",
          nativeQuery = true, name = "findNameObject where namekey = ?")
    List<ExampleDto> findNameObject(
            @Param("nameKey") UUID nameKey);

This is a bug: https://jira.spring.io/browse/DATAJPA-1714

You can either use JPQL with a constructor expression, an interface projection or a custom method implementation as a workaround.
