How to properly call PostgreSQL functions (stored procedures) within Spring/Hibernate/JPA?

Question

I\'m using Spring MVC 4, Hibernate and PostgreSQL 9.3 and have defined function (stored procedure) inside Postgres like this:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION spa.

In your entity class, define a NamedNativeQuery like you would call postgresql function with select.

import javax.persistence.NamedNativeQueries;
import javax.persistence.NamedNativeQuery;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
@NamedNativeQueries(
    value={
            // cast is used for Hibernate, to prevent No Dialect mapping for JDBC type: 1111
            @NamedNativeQuery(
                  name = "Tenant.createTenant",
                 query = "select cast(create_tenant(?) as text)"
            )
     }
)
@Entity
public class Tenant

hibernate is not able to map void, so a workaround is to cast result as text

public void createSchema(String name) {
    Query query = em.createNamedQuery("Tenant.createTenant")
            .setParameter(1, name);
    query.getSingleResult();
}
