I am having a with problem displaying the contents of the hql query from the database. Basically I created entity classes for each table in my database.
I have an index.jsp page which has a form in it. When the form is submitted the details are passed to a servlet and the servlet calls a method called findFlights which is in an entity class called FlightItenary. Below is the FlightItenary class:

}above you can see the findFlights method which is called from a servlet called Search.java. The findFlights method joins attributes from the FlightItenary class to that of the FlightClass. below is the Search.java servlet where the method is called.

}In the processrequest method of the servlet, the findFlights method is called and it is passed to a list which of type FlightItenary. After that the result of the list is set to an attribute. The main part of the servlet is in the else statement where the attributes are forwarded to the results.jsp page.Below is results.jsp

</body>My problem now is displaying the contents of the query which was carried out in search.java servlet. One of my problem is that I joined entities from the FlightItenary class to the ones from FlightClass class. In essence I am trying to retrieve data from two tables. If you take a look back at the FlightItenary class you will see like below that most of the attributes are from FlightItenary class and except from the classType attribute which is of the FlightClass class.
Query q = em.createQuery("select p.departureDate, p.arrivalDate," +
" p.departureAirport, p.arrivalAirport, p.flightNo, p.id from FlightItenary p, FlightClass a where p.id = a.flightId and cast(p.departureDate as string) = :depart" +
" and lower(p.departureAirport)=:departure and lower(p.arrivalAirport)=:arrival and" +
" a.classType=:classType and p.totalnum < 100 ");My question now, is how do I retrieve this classType attribute as seen in the results.jsp page when it is not an attribute of FlightItenary because when I was looping throught the iterator I casted it.next() to an object of FlightItenary class.
This is the error I am getting anytime I run the results.jsp page
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: An exception occurred processing JSP page /results.jsp at line 101
