JPA条件API最后按NULL顺序排序

Question

我使用JPA标准API从日期库中获取记录.我有实体记录,字段dateTime可以为null.我会编码:

public List<Record> find(RecordFilter recordFilter, int page, int pageSize) {
    CriteriaBuilder criteriaBuilder = entityManager.getCriteriaBuilder();
    CriteriaQuery<Record> criteriaQuery = criteriaBuilder.createQuery(Record.class);
    Root<Record> recordRoot = criteriaQuery.from(Record.class);

    /*
     * JOINS. Left Joins are used for optional fields, or fields inside of the optional fields.
     */
    Join<Record, Agency> recordAgencyJoin = recordRoot.join(RecordTable.FIELD_AGENCY);
    //Some other joins

    //This is where I had the problem. 
    applyOrderBy(criteriaQuery, criteriaBuilder, recordRoot);

    /*
     * Specify which columns to select and their order.
     * criteriaQuery.multiselect(....);
     */              
    applyMultiSelect(recordRoot, recordAgencyJoin, /*other joins*/ criteriaQuery);

    /*
     * criteriaQuery.where(somePredicate);
     */
    applyFilter(recordFilter, criteriaQuery, criteriaBuilder,
            recordRoot, recordAgencyJoin /*, other joins*/);
    TypedQuery<Record> query = entityManager.<Record>createQuery(criteriaQuery);
    RepositoryUtils.applyPagination(query, page, pageSize);
    return query.getResultList();
}


private void applyOrderBy(CriteriaBuilder criteriaBuilder, Root<Record> recordRoot, CriteriaQuery<Record> criteriaQuery) {
    //Other fields to be added to the final sort.

    Order dateTimeDescOrder = criteriaBuilder.desc(recordRoot.get(RecordTable.FIELD_DATE_TIME));
    criteriaQuery.orderBy(dateTimeDescOrder /*, other orders by*/);
}

事实证明,首先显示具有NULL dateTimeField的记录.我使用Postrgres数据库.我会回答这个问题,因为我找到了解决方案.这是一篇类似的帖子. JPA Criteria查询API并最后按null排序

Answer 1

在这里,我回答了这个任务.

首先,Postgres默认首先返回null.

SELECT * FROM record ORDER BY date_time_field DESC;

/sf/answers/533486271/

SELECT * FROM record ORDER BY date_time_field DESC NULLS LAST;

其次,我不得不改变applyOrderBy方法

private void applyOrderBy(CriteriaBuilder criteriaBuilder, Root<Record> recordRoot, CriteriaQuery<Record> criteriaQuery) {
    //In the class code
    //private static final Date MIN_DATE = new Date(0L);
    final Date MIN_DATE = new Date(0L);

    //We treat records will NULL dateTimeField as if it was MIN_DATE.
    Order dateTimeDescOrder = criteriaBuilder.desc(
            //NULL values - last - WORKAROUND.
            criteriaBuilder.coalesce(recordRoot.get(RecordTable.FIELD_DATE_TIME), MIN_DATE));
    criteriaQuery.orderBy(dateTimeDescOrder);
}

注意,来自hibernate-jpa-2.1的CriteriaBuilder.

/**
 * Create an expression that returns null if all its arguments
 * evaluate to null, and the value of the first non-null argument
 * otherwise.
 *
 * @param x expression
 * @param y value
 *
 * @return coalesce expression
 */
<Y> Expression<Y> coalesce(Expression<? extends Y> x, Y y);
