title: JPA 2.0: Load a subset of fields for an entity
body: <p>I have an Entity named address. The address Entity has several fields, one of which is CITY. I've created a query by calling entityManager.createQuery but my query only includes the CITY field in the select clause (because I only want to load that field). The CITY field is of type String. When I get my resultList, I do not get a list of Address objects but instead a list of Object[].</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to have a list of Address created instead of a list of Object[]? My JPA provider is hibernate, latest version. I want a solution that does not require the use of anything Hibernate specific.</p>
