JPQL statement returning boolean value

Question

Is it possible to write JPQL query like following:

select count(*) > 0 from Scenario scen where scen.name = :name

that would return true/fals

Answer 1

What about just:

select count(scen) > 0
from Scenario scen where scen.name = :name

Answer 2

I was having the same problem, then I updated my hibernate to 4.3.11.Final and now it's working.

Answer 3

Yes, it is possible with following:

select case when (count(scen) > 0)  then true else false end  
from Scenario scen where scen.name = :name
