Ljava.lang.Object; cannot be cast to com.entity.MechanicEntity

Question

I am getting the following error "Ljava.lang.Object; cannot be cast to com.entity.MechanicEntity" when trying to fetch the list of mechanic rows from database and pass to the jsp page.

Mechanic Entity

@Entity
@Table(name="Mechanic")
public class MechanicEntity {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)

int mechanicId;
String mechanicType;
int numberOfVehicles;
public int getMechanicId() {
    return mechanicId;
}
public void setMechanicId(int mechanicId) {
    this.mechanicId = mechanicId;
}
public String getMechanicType() {
    return mechanicType;
}
public void setMechanicType(String mechanicType) {
    this.mechanicType = mechanicType;
}
public int getNumberOfVehicles() {
    return numberOfVehicles;
}
public void setNumberOfVehicles(int numberOfVehicles) {
    this.numberOfVehicles = numberOfVehicles;
}

}

RegisterController.java

...
RegisterService service;
 @ModelAttribute("MechList")
 public Map<Integer,Integer> populateMechId()throws Exception {

    List<Mechanic> allMech = service.getAllMechanic();
    Map<Integer,Integer> MechanicMap=new HashMap<Integer,Integer>();

    for(Mechanic mechanic:allMech){
        MechanicMap.put(mechanic.getMechanicId(),mechanic.getMechanicId());
    }

    return MechanicMap;
}  ...

RegisterService.java

...
RegisterDAO dao;
public List<Mechanic> getAllMechanic() throws Exception
{
  return dao.getAllMechanic();
}
...

RegisterDAO.java

public List<Mechanic> getAllMechanic() throws Exception
{
    List<Mechanic> mlist=new ArrayList<Mechanic>();
    Query q=em.createQuery("select m.mechanicId,m.mechanicType from MechanicEntity m");
    List<MechanicEntity> l1=q.getResultList();
    for(MechanicEntity m:l1)
    {
        Mechanic mechanic=new Mechanic();
        mechanic.setMechanicId(m.getMechanicId());
        mlist.add(mechanic);

    }
    return mlist;
}

registerVehicle.jsp

<form:form name="registerForm1"  action="registerVehicle.htm"  modelAttribute="serviceregister" method="GET" >
<form:select path="mechanicId">
<form:options items="${MechList}" />
</form:select>

Please help me rectify it, so the dropdown is displayed when the view loads.

Have a look on this question, maybe it helps you. You are not fetching MechanicEntity but some DTO or projection with two fields from MechanicEntity. — pirho

Is there any need to have MechanicEntity and Mechanic classes? Only MechanicEntity seems enough for me. — user10639668

Your code doesn't even compile because of:

Query q=em.createQuery("select m.mechanicId,m.mechanicType from MechanicEntity m");
List<MechanicEntity> l1=q.getResultList();

The problem is that getResultList() return a List<Object> instead of List< MechanicEntity>.

To make it work:

 List<MechanicEntity> l1 = createQuery("select m from MechanicEntity m", MechanicEntity.class).getResultList();

I made the changes and now it shows, "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot create TypedQuery for query with more than one return using requested result type [com.entity.MechanicEntity] "

@Sidzler See my updated answer. Your query was wrong.
