hql - Hibernate new keyword with distinct

Question

I need to take hql that is currently :

select distinct a from Asset as a where ...

and change it to

select new com.org.AssetDTO(a.id, a.address, a.status) from Asset as a where ...

My problem is with the distinct keyword. Where does it belong in an hql query where you're using the new Object query type. One thought was to use a sub-select and have my distinct there. I've tried adding distinct a.id but that doesn't work.

Answer 1

Ok for anyone interested the proper syntax is

select distinct new com.org.AssetDTO(a.id, a.address, a.status) from Asset as a where ...
