Many-to-Many query jpql

Question

I have the followed trouble.

There is an entity Distributor who is connected with the ManyToMany relationship to entity town:

@Entity
public class Distributor{

   @ManyToMany
   @JoinTable( name = "GS_DISTRIBUTOR_TOWN",
           joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "CD_DISTRIBUTOR"),
           inverseJoinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "CD_TOWN") )
   private List<Town> towns;

   ....
}

Then the entity town is also in relation with District

@Entity
public class Town{

   @ManyToMany(mappedBy="towns")
   private List<Distributor> distributors;

   @ManyToOne
   private District district;

   ....
}

Now i have to filter(with jpql) all distributor who are in a district. How can i do?

Solution

select distinct distributor 
from Distributor distributor  
join distributor.towns town 
join town.district district 
where district.name = :name
