HQL query throws classCastException

Question

I am implementing an exists function which checks if entities with a given Id are present in a DB:

protected boolean[] _exists(final Serializable... ids) {
        //initlialize
        final boolean[] ret = new boolean[ids.length];

        final StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder("select id FROM " + getEntityMedaData(this.modelAdaptor.getDbModelClass()).getEntityName() + " obj " );
        sb.append(" WHERE obj.id in (:ids) ");

        LOG.debug("query = " + sb.toString() );
        final Query query = getSession().createQuery(sb.toString());
        query.setParameterList("ids", ids);

        final List<Serializable> results = query.list(); //exception occurs here
        System.out.println(results);
        LOG.debug("number of ids found = " + results.size() );
        final Set<Serializable> idsFoundSet = new HashSet<>(results);
        for(int i=0 ;i< ids.length;i++){
            if(idsFoundSet.contains(ids[i])){
                ret[i]=true;
            }
        }


        return ret;
    }

I invoke this table by passing the table's primary key. Note that the primary key is a composite primary key. But then it throws an exception at query.list():

Classes:

@Embeddable
public class NodePK implements Serializable {
    /**
     * 
     */
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    @Basic(optional = false)
    @Column(name = "NETWORKID")
    private String networkid;
    @Basic(optional = false)
    @Column(name = "NODEID")
    private String nodeid;


   //setter getters
}

Node has

@EmbeddedId
    protected NodePK nodePK;

SQL/HQL

131987 [main] DEBUG org.hibernate.hql.internal.ast.QueryTranslatorImpl  - HQL: select id FROM mypkg.NodeModel obj  WHERE obj.id in (:ids) 
131988 [main] DEBUG org.hibernate.hql.internal.ast.QueryTranslatorImpl  - SQL: select nodemodel0_.NETWORKID as col_0_0_, nodemodel0_.NODEID as col_0_1_ from NODE nodemodel0_ where nodemodel0_.NETWORKID=? and nodemodel0_.NODEID=?

What is the issue?

Answer 1

Found the issue .I was constructing a list of NodePks and then doing nodePkList.toArray() .I was then passing this to someother method which accepted Serialize ... When i changed it from Serialize ... to List it worked. I think there was some toString happening somewhere someHow .
