23 /**
24 * Used in conjunction with the {@link SqlResultSetMapping} annotation to map the SELECT
25 * clause of a SQL query to a constructor.
26 *
27 * <p>Applies a constructor for the target class, passing in as arguments
28 * values from the specified columns. All columns corresponding
29 * to arguments of the intended constructor must be specified using the
30 * <code>columns</code> element of the <code>ConstructorResult</code>
31 * annotation in the same order as that of the argument list of the
32 * constructor. Any entities returned as constructor results will be
33 * in either the new or detached state, depending on whether a primary
34 * key is retrieved for the constructed object.
35 *
36 * <pre>
37 *
38 * Example:
39 *
40 * Query q = em.createNativeQuery(
41 * "SELECT c.id, c.name, COUNT(o) as orderCount, AVG(o.price) AS avgOrder " +
42 * "FROM Customer c, Orders o " +
43 * "WHERE o.cid = c.id " +
44 * "GROUP BY c.id, c.name",
45 * "CustomerDetailsResult");
46 *
47 * @SqlResultSetMapping(
48 * name="CustomerDetailsResult",
49 * classes={
50 * @ConstructorResult(
51 * targetClass=com.acme.CustomerDetails.class,
52 * columns={
53 * @ColumnResult(name="id"),
54 * @ColumnResult(name="name"),
55 * @ColumnResult(name="orderCount"),
56 * @ColumnResult(name="avgOrder", type=Double.class)
57 * }
58 * )
59 * }
