Hey Steve, Thanks for the answer.
I was aware of these two solutions but there are definitely projects which want to use DTO projections and cannot (don't) want to utilize neither the annotation nor the native Hibernate API. I think using the approach I mentioned would be beneficial, at least I see the potential. Do you think if we implement this it would violate some contract or do you see anything which prevents us from supporting this? Thanks.

The type passed in to type the query must match what is selected (your "..."). And in fact JPA and Hibernate *do* support this, just not the way you do it. You have to use a ResultSet mapping (see @javax.persistence.SqlResultSetMapping). You'd specify a javax.persistence.ConstructorResult. Hibernate has an alternative means to support this using a org.hibernate.transform.ResultTransformer On Fri, Aug 18, 2017 at 9:47 AM Arnold Gálovics <galovicsarn...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm particularly interested in the usecase when you want to have a DTO > projection from a native query.
