EntityManager entityManager = ...;
Query query = entityManager.createQuery("SELECT AVG(EMP.AGE) FROM EMPLOYEE AS EMP");
Double average = query.getSingleResult();

As per java beat questions, about statments are right. Isn't the query.getSingleResult() return type is Object?

Please confirm

Thanks

Hi

see http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/api/

Object getSingleResult() returns an Object

Do we need explicit casting in above case?

This is a downcast -> you must use it otherwise you will get a compile time error.

Of course we need. It should be casted in the following way:

Double average = (Double) query.getSingleResult();
