I have a HQL query which is of the form

select class1 as c1 , class2 as c2 where <some condition>

The query returns with a list of objects of type 'Object'. I want to know how do i extract class1 and class2 from the returned value.Casting to either class1 / class2 fails

Reproducing an example from the documentation in section 11.4, Select clause - this may help you:

Queries may return multiple objects and/or properties as an array of type Object[]

select mother, offspr, mate.name
from eg.DomesticCat as mother
inner join mother.mate as mate
left outer join mother.kittens as offspr
or as an actual typesafe Java object

select new Family(mother, mate, offspr)
from eg.DomesticCat as mother
join mother.mate as mate
left join mother.kittens as offspr
assuming that the class Family has an appropriate constructor.
