For the sake of brevity, all examples use repository methods directly.
In production code persistence layer (SQL) shouldn't leak to service layer. See this answer by Oliver Drotbohm (Spring Data Project Lead @ Pivotal) on how to approach encapsulating persistence logic.
- Java 17 with parameter names preserved in byte code (used to map columns to constructor parameters)
- Spring Data JDBC
- entities must have an all argument constructor (
@AllArgsConstructor), can have others as well - entity class and all argument constructor must be public (limitation of Querydsl)
- Dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.infobip</groupId>
<artifactId>infobip-spring-data-jdbc-querydsl-boot-starter</artifactId>
<version>${infobip-spring-data-jdbc-querydsl.version}</version>
</dependency>- Refactor repository interfaces to either use new base repository or fragments approach:
- new base repository approach:
interface TRepository extends QuerydslJdbcRepository<T, ID> {
}- fragments:
interface TRepository extends PagingAndSortingRepository<T, ID>, QuerydslPredicateExecutor<T>, QuerydslJdbcFragment<T> {
}- Done
All examples have corresponding tests in the project and can be found here.
Inner join example:
List<Person> actual = repository.query(query -> query
.select(repository.entityProjection())
.from(person)
.innerJoin(personSettings)
.on(person.id.eq(personSettings.personId))
.where(personSettings.id.eq(johnDoeSettings.getId()))
.fetch());
);
For examples how to construct projections refer to the official documentation - section result handling.
Here is an example that uses constructor:
public record PersonProjection(
String firstName,
String lastName
) {
}
...
List<PersonProjection> actual = repository.query(query -> query
.select(Projections.constructor(PersonProjection.class, person.firstName,
person.lastName))
.from(person)
.fetch());
Optional<Person> actual = repository.queryOne(query -> query
.select(repository.entityProjection())
.from(person)
.where(person.firstName.in("John", "Jane"))
.orderBy(person.firstName.asc(), person.lastName.asc())
.limit(1)
.offset(1));
List<Person> actual = repository.queryMany(query -> query
.select(repository.entityProjection())
.from(person)
.where(person.firstName.in("John", "Jane"))
.orderBy(person.firstName.asc(), person.lastName.asc())
.limit(1)
.offset(1));
repository.update(query -> query
.set(person.firstName, "John")
.where(person.firstName.eq("Johny"))
.execute());
long numberOfAffectedRows = repository.deleteWhere(person.firstName.like("John%"));
Queries execution is always done inside the repository implementation (loan pattern) in a transaction so transactions don't have to be handled manually (like they do if you are manually managing SQLQuery and other Querydsl constructs).
Entity fields marked with @org.springframework.data.relational.core.mapping.Embedded are inlined in Q classes:
Model:
@Table("Person")
public record PersonWithEmbeddedFirstAndLastName(
@With
@Id
Long id,
@Embedded(onEmpty = Embedded.OnEmpty.USE_EMPTY)
FirstAndLastName firstAndLastName
) {
}public record FirstAndLastName(
String firstName,
String lastName
) {
}Query (note the missing .personWithEmbeddedFirstAndLastName field in Q instance):
repository.findAll(personWithEmbeddedFirstAndLastName.firstName.in("John", "Johny"));Model:
public record Student(
@Id
Long id,
String name,
@MappedCollection(idColumn = "StudentId", keyColumn = "CourseId")
Set<StudentCourse> courses
) {
void addItem(Course course) {
var studentCourse = new StudentCourse(null, AggregateReference.to(course.id()), null);
courses.add(studentCourse);
}
}public record Course(
@Id
Long id,
String name
) {
}public record StudentCourse(
@Id
Long id,
AggregateReference<Course, Long> courseId,
Long studentId
) {
}Query:
List<Student> actual = studentRepository.query(query -> query.select(studentRepository.entityProjection())
.from(student)
.innerJoin(studentCourse)
.on(student.id.eq(studentCourse.studentId))
.fetch());streamAll is a new method added to repository for more convenient use.
@Transactional
public void transactionalAnnotatedMethodRequiredForConsumingStream() {
try (Stream<Person> stream = repository.streamAll()) {
// use stream
}
}
To create a custom base repository interface you'll need to create:
- custom base interface
- custom annotation for enabling
- custom factory bean class and potentially factory class depending on requirements
Take a look at extension package in tests as an example on how this can be achieved.

<artifactId>infobip-spring-data-jpa-querydsl-boot-starter</artifactId>
<version>${infobip-spring-data-jpa-querydsl.version}</version>
</dependency>As this project depends on querydsl-apt with jpa classifier you don't need to set up explicit Maven build phase for Q classes generation. For building Q classes without Maven, make sure your IDE has Annotation processing enabled.
- Refactor repository interfaces to either use new base repository or fragments approach:
- new base repository approach:
interface TRepository extends ExtendedQueryDslJpaRepository<T, ID> {
}- fragments:
interface TRepository extends JpaRepository<T, ID>, QuerydslPredicateExecutor<T>, QuerydslJpaFragment<T> {
}- Done
If you need other features from @EnableJpaRepositories you can use:
@EnableJpaRepositories(repositoryFactoryBeanClass = ExtendedQuerydslJpaRepositoryFactoryBean.class)
All examples have corresponding tests in the project and can be found here.
Example which uses union clause (unions aren't available in JPA):
List<Person> actual = repository.jpaSqlQuery(query -> query
.union(
repository.jpaSqlSubQuery(subQuery ->
subQuery.select(person)
.from(person)
.where(person.firstName.like("John"))),
repository.jpaSqlSubQuery(subQuery ->
subQuery.select(person)
.from(person)
.where(person.firstName.like("Jan%")))
)
.orderBy(person.firstName.asc(), person.lastName.asc())
.fetch()
);
For examples how to construct projections refer to the official documentation - section result handling.
Here is an example that uses constructor:
public record PersonProjection(
String firstName,
String lastName
) {
}
...
List<PersonProjection> actual = repository.query(query -> query
.select(Projections.constructor(PersonProjection.class, person.firstName, person.lastName))
.from(person)
.fetch());
Query exposes full API of JPAQuery (QueryDslPredicateExecutor only exposes where clause (Predicate) and order clause (OrderSpecifier)).
This along with Querydsl 4 API improvement can lead to code that looks more like regular SQL:
List<Person> actual = repository.query(query -> query
.select(person)
.from(person)
.where(person.firstName.in("John", "Jane"))
.orderBy(person.firstName.asc(), person.lastName.asc())
.limit(1)
.offset(1)
.fetch());
repository.update(query -> query
.set(person.firstName, "John")
.where(person.firstName.eq("Johny"))
.execute());
long numberOfAffectedRows = repository.deleteWhere(person.firstName.like("John%"));
QueryDslPredicateExecutor#findAll methods return Iterable which can be cumbersome to use. Those methods were overridden and now return a List which is easier to use and is easier to convert to Stream.
Query execution is always done inside the repository implementation (loan pattern) in a transaction so transactions don't have to be handled manually (like they do if you are manually managing JPAQuery and other Querydsl constructs).
JPA support for stored procedures is quite cumbersome and it also requires a reference to EntityManager which leads to code like this:
@PersistenceContext
private EntityManager entityManager
...
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public List<Person> delete(Person personToDelete) {
return (List<Person>) entityManager
.createStoredProcedureQuery("Person_Delete")
.registerStoredProcedureParameter("FirstName", String.class, ParameterMode.IN)
.registerStoredProcedureParameter("LastName", String.class, ParameterMode.IN)
.setParameter("FirstName", personToDelete.getFirstName())
.setParameter("LastName", personToDelete.getLastName())
.getResultList(); // returns untyped List => unchecked
}
For this case, executeStoredProcedure method was added which supports Q class attributes:
public List<Person> delete(Person personToDelete) {
return repository.executeStoredProcedure(
"Person_Delete",
builder -> builder.addInParameter(person.firstName, personToDelete.getFirstName())
.addInParameter(person.lastName, personToDelete.getLastName())
.getResultList());
}
streamAll is a new method added to repository for more convenient use.
@Transactional
public void transactionalAnnotatedMethodRequiredForConsumingStream() {
try (Stream<Person> stream = repository.streamAll()) {
// use stream
}
}

- custom base interface
- custom annotation for enabling
- custom factory bean class and potentially factory class depending on requirements
Take a look at extension package in tests as an example on how this can be achieved.
Annotation processor infobip-spring-data-jdbc-annotation-processor is used by R2DBC and JDBC modules to generate Querydsl Q classes. Without annotation processor this process can be quite cumbersome as connecting to database would be required during the build phase.
Annotation processor generates Q classes for all classes that have @Id annotated fields.
Reason why @Id is used and not some custom annotation is for simplicity of use and implementation and because @Id is required by Spring Data JDBC:
Spring Data JDBC uses the ID to identify entities. The ID of an entity must be annotated with Spring Data’s @Id annotation.
Current implementation of Annotation Processor uses pascal casing based naming strategy for table and column names.
To customize this behavior across whole project add following annotation to one of your classes:
@ProjectTableCaseFormat(CaseFormat.LOWER_UNDERSCORE)
@ProjectColumnCaseFormat(CaseFormat.LOWER_UNDERSCORE)
public class SomeClassOnCompilationPath {
...
}
SomeClassOnCompilationPath can be any class that is being compiled in the project.
Note that for customizing single table/column mapping Table and Column can be used.
If this behavior needs to be changed across multiple projects, or you simply wish to customize annotation processor following steps can be taken:
- create a new Maven module (or a Maven project if you want to reuse across multiple projects)
- add dependency to
infobip-spring-data-jdbc-annotation-processor-common - create implementation of
com.querydsl.sql.codegen.NamingStrategy - create annotation processor that extends the base one:
@AutoService(Processor.class)
public class CustomSpringDataJdbcAnnotationProcessor extends SpringDataJdbcAnnotationProcessorBase {
public CustomSpringDataJdbcAnnotationProcessor() {
super(CustomNamingStrategy.class);
}
}- in module (or project) that needs to use this new processor exclude the default annotation processor dependency and include your own:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.infobip</groupId>
<!-- infobip-spring-data-jdbc-querydsl-boot-starter is used as an example here, same pattern applies for other modules -->
<artifactId>infobip-spring-data-jdbc-querydsl-boot-starter</artifactId>
<version>${infobip-spring-data-jdbc-querydsl-boot-starter.version}</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>com.infobip</groupId>
<artifactId>infobip-spring-data-jdbc-annotation-processor</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
<!-- include dependency to custom annotation processor -->infobip-spring-data-jdbc-annotation-processor can be used as an example codebase for custom annotation processor. It includes tests that can be used for custom annotation processor as well.
In case you want to manually generate Q classes you can still exclude infobip-spring-data-jdbc-annotation-processor and do the process manually (e.g. like this).
