hi,
I am fairly new to Java and hibernate so please bare with me if this is a fairly simple question.

This is my scenario:

select id,name from table

Now i want to handle null in name.

One way of handling null would be to check in the Hibernate generated class, but currently my project doesn't allow me to handle this. So I would have to write another model class which will have all the getter/setter methods and handle this values. But somewhere deep inside I think this is not the right way to go about.

So I would have to handle null in query itself.

Also efficient wise which one would be more efficient:
1. Handling nulls in the query
2. Handling nulls in the code.

Thanks in advance.

You do not need to "handle" null. These values are totally fine.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply...

But if null value is returned from the query I want to set some default value for that cell...

Why?!

Hi,
The business logic forces me not to use null value.
Any ways I found the solution. Thanks
