> createSQLQuery() method translates database type CHAR(n) to Java type char instead of String when using setResultTransformer(Criteria.ALIAS_TO_ENTITY_MAP).
> That happens when I do not use addScalar(). And that is the only problem that I have found when not filling return types in advance.
> A workaround I have made is to concatenate the projected field with an empty string (''). See example below:
> ...
> query.setResultTransformer(Criteria.ALIAS_TO_ENTITY_MAP);
> String sqlQuery = "select s.name state from state s where s.name='PI' ";
> query = session.createSQLQuery(sqlQuery);
> ...
> result: [{STATE=P}]
> name field is CHAR(2) in database definition (PostgreSQL, HSQLDB and Oracle were tested).
> Note that it works when I concatenate the field used in projection with an empty string:
> ...
> String sqlQuery = "select s.name || '' state from state s where s.name='PI' ";
> ...
> result: [{STATE=PI}]
