Hi all ! I have a query which worked fine until now: Query dbQuery = em.createQuery("SELECT OBJECT(a) FROM TaskList AS a"); | List <TaskList> list = dbQuery .getResultList(); Now I need to change the query, just to restrict the query to a few fields from the TaskList: Query dbQuery = em.createQuery("SELECT taskId,taskName FROM TaskList AS a"); | List <TaskList> list = dbQuery .getResultList(); The problem is that now the list contains Objects and not TaskList......I need TaskList otherwise I will have ClassCastExceptions in other pieces of the code...... is my syntax wrong or what else ? Thanks a lot marco View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4217073#...
