Hibernate, postgres CTE and native SQL query mapping ARRAY[]::BYTEA[] with addScalar - postgresql

Question

I am trying to execute the following common table expression as a native SQL query in hibernate. Although this is a CTE starting with "WITH" clause, I have seen other examples where this was working with native SQL. I am executing this query on a table called node with the following 2 field
#Id
#Type(type = "uuid-binary")
#Column(name="ID", unique = true, nullable=false)
protected UUID id;
#Type(type = "uuid-binary")
#Column(name="PARENT_ID", nullable=true)
private UUID parentId;
This query has been taken from the official PostgreSQL wiki from here
and just modified a little bit i.e. i have removed the restriction
"WHERE parent_id IS NULL".
If I execute this query in pgAdmin4, then I get a success and I know it works as it should. i.e. I get the expected output that look like this:
Notice the type of the second column called ancestors is "bytea[]" (Not to be confused with byte[]).
It seems that I am not able to map this i.e. i thing that the problem is the mapping of the array of bytea i.e. " ARRAY[]::BYTEA[]" and the following
.addScalar("ancestors")
Session session = getSessionFactory().openSession();
session.beginTransaction();
String sql_query =
" WITH RECURSIVE tree AS ("
+ " SELECT id, ARRAY[]::BYTEA[] AS ancestors"
+ " FROM node "
+ " UNION ALL"
+ " SELECT node.id, tree.ancestors || node.parent_id"
+ " FROM node, tree"
+ " WHERE node.parent_id = tree.id"
+ " ) SELECT * FROM tree WHERE decode(:Argument1, 'hex') = ANY(tree.ancestors)"
;
Query<Object[]> query = session.createNativeQuery(sql_query)
.addScalar("id", org.hibernate.type.StandardBasicTypes.BINARY.INSTANCE)
.addScalar("ancestors")
;
String nodeIdHex = UUIDOperations.uuidToHex(node.getID() );
query.setParameter("Argument1", nodeIdHex, org.hibernate.type.StringType.INSTANCE);
List<Object[]> objectCollection = (List<Object[]>) query.list();
session.getTransaction().commit();
session.close();
return objectCollection;
When i execute this i get the following error :
Hibernate: WITH RECURSIVE tree AS ( SELECT id, ARRAY[]:BYTEA[] AS ancestors FROM node UNION ALL SELECT node.id, tree.ancestors || node.parent_id FROM node, tree WHERE node.parent_id = tree.id ) SELECT * FROM tree decode(?, 'hex') = ANY(tree.ancestors)

I suspect that the problem is in the " ARRAY[]::BYTEA[]" mapping but i just have no idea how to map that correctly.
I have tried to create a special user type that will help me map that but it does not seem help me in this case or i have implemented it the wrong way.
Type byteArrayType = new CustomType(new ByteaArrayUserType());
Query<Object[]> query = session.createNativeQuery(sql_query)
.addScalar("id", org.hibernate.type.StandardBasicTypes.BINARY.INSTANCE)
.addScalar("ancestors", byteArrayType)
;
here is the mapping class below:
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.sql.Array;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Types;
import org.hibernate.HibernateException;
import org.hibernate.engine.spi.SharedSessionContractImplementor;
import org.hibernate.usertype.UserType;
public class ByteaArrayUserType implements UserType {
protected static final int[] SQL_TYPES = { Types.ARRAY };
#Override
public Object assemble(Serializable cached, Object owner) throws HibernateException {
return this.deepCopy(cached);
}
#Override
public Object deepCopy(Object value) throws HibernateException {
return value;
}
#Override
public Serializable disassemble(Object value) throws HibernateException {
return (byte[][]) this.deepCopy(value);
}
#Override
public boolean equals(Object x, Object y) throws HibernateException {
if (x == null) {
return y == null;
}
return x.equals(y);
}
#Override
public int hashCode(Object x) throws HibernateException {
return x.hashCode();
}
#Override
public boolean isMutable() {
return true;
}
#Override
public Object replace(Object original, Object target, Object owner) throws HibernateException {
return original;
}
#Override
public Class<byte[][]> returnedClass() {
return byte[][].class;
}
#Override
public int[] sqlTypes() {
return new int[] { Types.ARRAY };
}
#Override
public Object nullSafeGet(
ResultSet resultSet,
String[] names,
SharedSessionContractImplementor session, Object owner
)throws HibernateException, SQLException {
if (resultSet.wasNull()) {
return null;
}
if (resultSet.getArray(names[0]) == null) {
return new byte[0];
}
Array array = resultSet.getArray(names[0]);
byte[][] javaArray = (byte[][]) array.getArray();
return javaArray;
}
#Override
public void nullSafeSet(PreparedStatement statement,
Object value, int index,
SharedSessionContractImplementor session
)throws HibernateException, SQLException {
Connection connection = statement.getConnection();
if (value == null) {
statement.setNull(index, SQL_TYPES[0]);
} else {
byte[][] castObject = (byte[][]) value;
Array array = connection.createArrayOf("byte", castObject);
statement.setArray(index, array);
}
}
}
The reason i believe this has to do with the ARRAY[]::BYTEA is because if i simplify the query to something simple as :
SELECT id, ARRAY[]::BYTEA[] AS ancestors
FROM node
I still get the same error , however this time it says
[ main] o.h.e.j.s.SqlExceptionHelper : SQL Error: 0, SQLState: 42601
[ main] o.h.e.j.s.SqlExceptionHelper : ERROR: syntax error at or near ":"
Position: 20
javax.persistence.PersistenceException: org.hibernate.exception.SQLGrammarException: could not extract ResultSet
so what is wrong with that ":" colon. This time only the position is different i.e. 20 instead of 45 on the previous exception
