java.math.BigInteger cannot be cast to java.lang.Long

Question

I've got List<Long> dynamics. And I want to get max result using Collections. This is my code:

List<Long> dynamics=spyPathService.getDynamics();
        Long max=((Long)Collections.max(dynamics)).longValue(); 

This is my getDynamics:

public List<Long> getDynamics() {

        Session session = null;

        session = this.sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
        Query query = session
                .createSQLQuery("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM SpyPath WHERE DATE(time)>=DATE_SUB(CURDATE(),INTERVAL 6 DAY) GROUP BY DATE(time) ORDER BY time;");

        List<Long> result = query.list();
        return result;

    }

Now I'm getting java.math.BigInteger cannot be cast to java.lang.Long. What's wrong?

Answer 1

Better option is use SQLQuery#addScalar than casting to Long or BigDecimal.

Here is modified query that returns count column as Long

Query query = session
             .createSQLQuery("SELECT COUNT(*) as count
                             FROM SpyPath 
                             WHERE DATE(time)>=DATE_SUB(CURDATE(),INTERVAL 6 DAY) 
                             GROUP BY DATE(time) 
                             ORDER BY time;")
             .addScalar("count", LongType.INSTANCE);

Then

List<Long> result = query.list(); //No ClassCastException here

  here is the deprecated document, so you have to use LongType.INSTANCE
