How to map the result of jooq multiset into Hashmap(Java Map)? - kotlin

Question

I have the following class and query. I want to use multiset to map the result of the images into Map<String, String>(Key: OrderNumber / Value: FileKey), but I don't know how to do it. Could you help me how to map the multiset result into hashmap?
data class User(
val id: UUID,
val name: String,
val images: Map<String, String>?
)
#Repository
#Transactional(readOnly = true)
class FetchUserRepository(private val ctx: DSLContext) {
private val user = JUser.USER
private val userImage = JUserImage.USER_IMAGE
override fun fetch(): List<User> {
return ctx.select(
user.ID,
user.NAME,
multiset(
select(userImage.ORDER_NUMBER.cast(String::class.java), userImage.FILE_KEY)
.from(userImage)
.where(userImage.USER_ID.eq(user.ID))
).convertFrom { r -> r.map(mapping(???)) } // I'm not sure how to map the result to hashmap
)
.from(user)
.fetchInto(User::class.java)
}

jOOQ 3.16 solution
The type of your multiset() expression is Result<Record2<String, String>>, so you can use the Result.intoMap(Field, Field) method, or even Result.collect(Collector) using the Records.intoMap() collector, which allows for avoiding the repetition of field names:
{ r -> r.collect(Records.intoMap()) }
I've explained this more in detail in a blog post, here.
jOOQ 3.17 solution
In fact, this seems so useful and powerful, let's add some convenience on top of the existing API using some extensions (located in the jOOQ-kotlin extensions module):
// New extension functions, e.g.
fun <R : Record, E> Field<Result<R>>.collecting(collector: Collector<R, *, E>)
= convertFrom { it.collect(collector) }
fun <K, V> Field<Result<Record2<K, V>>>.intoMap(): Field<Map<K, V>>
= collecting(Records.intoMap())
// And then, you can write:
multiset(...).intoMap()

Answer 2

In addition to Lukas's answer, I would like to provide an alternative option with jsonObject & jsonObjectAgg.
The result of this query would be returned as JSON format, and it can be easily projected to the target class via Jackson or whatever. (It is really powerful feature when it comes to nested collection within the target class)
I believe it is the one of the coolest features of jOOQ as MULTISET :)
data class User(
val id: UUID,
val name: String,
val images: Map<String, String>?
)
#Repository
#Transactional(readOnly = true)
class FetchUserRepository(private val ctx: DSLContext) {
private val user = JUser.USER
private val userImage = JUserImage.USER_IMAGE
override fun fetch(): List<User> {
return ctx.select(
jsonObject(
key("id").value(user.ID),
key("name").value(user.NAME),
key("images").value(
field(
select(
jsonObjectAgg(
userImage.ORDER_NUMBER.cast(String::class.java),
userImage.FILE_KEY
)
)
.from(userImage)
.where(userImage.USER_ID.eq(user.ID))
)
)
)
)
.from(user)
.fetchInto(User::class.java)
}
}
