I have a list of object ids - the ids are for objects that are instances of different classes, but they all inherit from AbstractElement.

I want to get the AbstractElement.name property for each of these objects, but for performance reasons I do not want to iterate through the list, load the object, get the name property and put it in a map.

Is there a way to run a single query to get the name property of each of the objects?

i.e. given a list of object ids, get back a map of objectId/name.

Thanks

I would create an operation in my DAO to get the specific property and return it as a list perhaps? HQL would be your best bet.

[code]
select o.stringProperty from ObjectExample o where o.id in (comma separated list of ids you want the stringProperty from)
