Native query with named parameter fails with "Not all named parameters have been set"

I want to execute a simple native query, but it does not work:

@Autowired
private EntityManager em;

Query q = em.createNativeQuery("SELECT count(*) FROM mytable where username = :username");
em.setProperty("username", "test");
(int) q.getSingleResult();

Why am I getting this exception?

org.hibernate.QueryException: Not all named parameters have been set: [username]

Named parameters are not supported by JPA in native queries, only for JPQL. You must use positional parameters.

Named parameters follow the rules for identifiers defined in Section 4.4.1. The use of named parameters applies to the Java Persistence query language, and is not defined for native queries. Only positional parameter binding may be portably used for native queries.

So, use this

Query q = em.createNativeQuery("SELECT count(*) FROM mytable where username = ?1");
q.setParameter(1, "test");

While JPA specification doesn't support named parameters in native queries, some JPA implementations (like Hibernate) may support it

Native SQL queries support positional as well as named parameters

However, this couples your application to specific JPA implementation, and thus makes it unportable.

After many tries I found that you should use createNativeQuery And you can send parameters using # replacement

In my example

String UPDATE_lOGIN_TABLE_QUERY = "UPDATE OMFX.USER_LOGIN SET LOGOUT_TIME = SYSDATE WHERE LOGIN_ID = #loginId AND USER_ID = #userId";


Query query = em.createNativeQuery(logQuery);

            query.setParameter("userId", logDataDto.getUserId());
            query.setParameter("loginId", logDataDto.getLoginId());

            query.executeUpdate();
