#RepositoryRestResource changes url every time the application is restarted - spring-boot

I have a repository interface that extends JpaRepository and a NameRepositoryCustom.
My repository is annotated with #RepositoryRestRessource(collectionResourceRel="pathname", path="pathname").
The problem I have is that every second restart of my application the URL of the repository gets changed so I can't find the exposed data of the repository under the URL I defined and some features like the search of the repository aren't exposed in the API anymore either.
The "NameRepositroyCustom" is used for a search function which uses another Repository to implement Specification with JPA Criteria Api for a searchbar in my frontend.
Does anybody have a solution for this? The only repository annotated as #RepositoryRestRessource is the main repository that implements all the others. The NameRepositorySpec is annotated with #Repository, could this maybe be the cause?
Edit: I implemented the code as an example to clarify the relations between the mentioned classes and interfaces.
This is the basic repository related to the entity persisted in the database:
#RepositoryRestResource(collectionRessourceRel = "enitynames", path = "entitynames")
public interface EntitynameRepository extends JpaRepository<Entityname, Long>, EntitynameRepositoryCustom{
//custom methods in here
}
This is the custom repository:
public interface EntitynameRepositoryCustom {
Page<Entityname> search(String exampleParam1, String exampleParam2, Pageable pageable);
}
This is the implementation of the custom repository:
public class EntitynameRepositoryCustomImpl implements EntitynameRepositoryCustom{
#Autowired
EntityManager em;
#Autowired
EntitynameRepositorySpec entitynameRepositorySpec;
Specification<Entityname> querySpecification = null;
#Override
public Page<Entityname> search(String exampleParam1, String exampleParam2, Pageable pageable) {
//Code here uses the criteria builder and Specification to generate a custom query with optional parameters
CriteriaBuilder cb= em.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<Entityname> cq = cb.createQuery(Entityname.class);
//Code below is done for every passed in parameter
if(exampleParam1 != null){
Specification<Entityname> param1Specification = EntitynameSpecification.likeParam1(exampleParam1);
querySpecification = Specification.where(param1Specification);
} else {
return null;
}
return entitynameRepositorySpec.findAll(specification, pageable);
}
}
This is the specification repository:
public interface EntitynameRepositorySpec extends JpaRepository<Entityname, Long>, JpaSpecificationExecutor<Entityname>{
}
And this is the implementation of the specification:
public class EntitynameSpecification {
public static Specification<Entityname> likeExampleParam1(String exampleParam1){
if(exampleParam1 == null){
return null;
}
return(root, query, cb) -> {
reutrn cb.like(root.get("fieldname"), "%"+ exampleParam1 + "%");
};
}
}
The URL of the repository gets changed to a part of the entity name compared to my example it would be something like: entityname has URL: /entityname
if the bug occurs the URL changes to /name.

REST with Spring: Where to place logic for mapping from frontend DTO to JPA Specification and Pageable?

I want to use a rather complex DTO (from the frontend) which contains filtering and pagination parameters to map/build a Specification and a Pageable to use in query in the underlying JPA Repository. The call stack is as follows: controller -> view -> service -> repository.
What would be conceptually the cleanest approach to place the DTO-to-Specification/Pageable method(s)?
For comparison: so far, I placed it as a private method in the service class, like so (not an actual code snippet). Is that architecturally clean or would e.g. a separate class (like a FooSpecificationBuilder) be more appropriate?
#Service
public class FooService {
private final FooRepository repository;
public Page<Foo> getFooPage(FrontendSearchDto searchDto) {
Specification<Foo> spec = buildSpec(searchDto);
Pageable pageable = buildPageable(searchDto);
return repository.findAll(spec, pageable);
}
private Specification<Foo> buildSpec(FrontendSearchDto searchDto) {
// do the mapping
}
private Pageable buildPageable(FrontendSearchDto searchDto) {
// do the mapping
}
}

Spring DATA REST - How to convert entities to resources in custom controller using default spring implementation

I have created a custom controller which needs to convert entities to resources. I have annotated my repositories with #RepositoryRestResource annotation. I want to know if there is a way I can invoke the default functionality of spring Data REST from my custom controller which serializes the entities to resources with links to other entities embedded in them.
I don't want to return entities from my handler method but Resources.
Thanks.
Very simple, using objects Resource or Resources. For example - in this controller we add custom method which return list of all user roles which are enums:
#RepositoryRestController
#RequestMapping("/users/roles")
public class RoleController {
#GetMapping
public ResponseEntity<?> getAllRoles() {
List<Resource<User.Role>> content = new ArrayList<>();
content.addAll(Arrays.asList(
new Resource<>(User.Role.ROLE1),
new Resource<>(User.Role.ROLE2)));
return ResponseEntity.ok(new Resources<>(content));
}
}
To add links to resource you have to use object RepositoryEntityLinks, for example:
#RequiredArgsConstructor
#RepositoryRestController
#RequestMapping("/products")
public class ProductController {
#NonNull private final ProductRepo repo;
#NonNull private final RepositoryEntityLinks links;
#GetMapping("/{id}/dto")
public ResponseEntity<?> getDto(#PathVariable("id") Integer productId) {
ProductProjection dto = repo.getDto(productId);
return ResponseEntity.ok(toResource(dto));
}
private ResourceSupport toResource(ProductProjection projection) {
ProductDto dto = new ProductDto(projection.getProduct(), projection.getName());
Link productLink = links.linkForSingleResource(projection.getProduct()).withRel("product");
Link selfLink = links.linkForSingleResource(projection.getProduct()).slash("/dto").withSelfRel();
return new Resource<>(dto, productLink, selfLink);
}
}
For more example see my 'how-to' and sample project.

Why is this method in a Spring Data repository considered a query method?

We have implemented an application that should be able to use either JPA, Couchbase or MongoDB. (for now, may increase in the future). We successfully implemented JPA and Couchbase by separating repositories for each e.g. JPA will come from org.company.repository.jpa while couchbase will come from org.company.repository.cb. All repository interfaces extends a common repository found in org.company.repository. We are now targeting MongoDB by creating a new package org.company.repository.mongo. However we are encountering this error:
No property updateLastUsedDate found for type TokenHistory!
Here are our codes:
#Document
public class TokenHistory extends BaseEntity {
private String subject;
private Date lastUpdate;
// Getters and setters here...
}
Under org.company.repository.TokenHistoryRepository.java
#NoRepositoryBean
public interface TokenHistoryRepository<ID extends Serializable> extends TokenHistoryRepositoryCustom, BaseEntityRepository<TokenHistory, ID> {
// No problem here. Handled by Spring Data
TokenHistory findBySubject(#Param("subject") String subject);
}
// The custom method
interface TokenHistoryRepositoryCustom {
void updateLastUsedDate(#Param("subject") String subject);
}
Under org.company.repository.mongo.TokenHistoryMongoRepository.java
#RepositoryRestResource(path = "/token-history")
public interface TokenHistoryMongoRepository extends TokenHistoryRepository<String> {
TokenHistory findBySubject(#Param("subject") String subject);
}
class TokenHistoryMongoRepositoryCustomImpl {
public void updateLastUsedDate(String subject) {
//TODO implement this
}
}
And for Mongo Configuration
#Configuration
#Profile("mongo")
#EnableMongoRepositories(basePackages = {
"org.company.repository.mongo"
}, repositoryImplementationPostfix = "CustomImpl",
repositoryBaseClass = BaseEntityRepositoryMongoImpl.class
)
public class MongoConfig {
}
Setup is the same for both JPA and Couchbase but we didn't encountered that error. It was able to use the inner class with "CustomImpl" prefix, which should be the case base on the documentations.
Is there a problem in my setup or configuration for MongoDB?
Your TokenHistoryMongoRepositoryCustomImpl doesn't actually implement the TokenHistoryRepositoryCustom interface, which means that there's no way for us to find out that updateLastUsedDate(…) in the class found is considered to be an implementation of the interface method. Hence, it's considered a query method and then triggers the query derivation.
I highly doubt that this works for the other stores as claimed as the code inspecting query methods is shared in DefaultRepositoryInformation.

Criteria in spring data

I'm working on a web application using angular js, spring mvc and spring jpa data.
I'm wondering if there is something similar to criteria and detachedcriteria(hibernate) to build advanced queries with spring jpa data.
Nothing stops you from still using Criteria
#Repository
public interface FooRepository extends JpaRepository<Foo, Long>, FooRepositoryCustom {
}
interface FooRepositoryCustom {
public List<Foo> findByBar(Bar bar);
}
class FooRepositoryImpl implements FooRepositoryCustom {
#PersistenceContext
protected EntityManager em;
#Transactional(readOnly = true)
public List<Foo> findByBar(Bar bar) {
Criteria crit = em.unwrap(Session.class).createCriteria(Foo.class);
crit.add(Restrictions.eq("name", bar.getName()));
...
crit.setResultTransformer(DetachedCriteria.DISTINCT_ROOT_ENTITY);
List<Foo> foos = crit.list();
return foos;
}
}
Yes, you can use Specifications, which basically uses the Criteria API (obviously, since Spring Data JPA is just a wrapper around JPA).
you can use Query Dsl
, it is less verbose than Specification, here is a blog containing both Specification and QueryDsl.
You can use Criteria with Spring Data, you don't need a Custom Repository, You could use JpaSpecificationExecutor, here an example:
Your repository:
#Repository("yourRepository")
public interface YourRepository extends JpaRepository, JpaSpecificationExecutor
{
}
Your Service
#Override
public List<YourModel> yourDataModel getAllEntitiesByAttr(String attrValue){
List<YourModel> yourDataModel = null;
try {
Specification specification=getAndSpecByAttribute("attribute",attrValue);
List list = userRepository.findAll(specification);
yourDataModel =orikaMapper.mapAsList(list, YourModel.class);
} catch (Exception e) {
throw e;
}
return yourDataModel;
}
private Specification getAndSpecByAttribute(String attribute, String valueAttribute){
return new Specification() {
#Override public Predicate toPredicate(Root root, CriteriaQuery query, CriteriaBuilder cb) {
Path path = root.get(attribute);
return cb.equal(path, valueAttribute);
};
};
}
It is enough.

Using QueryDslRepositorySupport in combination with interface repositories

since I didn't get a reply on the spring forum I'll give it a try here.
Is there a way to have a common interface repository which is extended by interfaces the following way:
#NoRepositoryBean
public interface CommonRepository<T> extends JpaRepository<T, Long>, QueryDslPredicateExecutor<T> {
T getById(final long id);
}
#Repository
public interface ConcreteRepository extends CommonRepository<ConcreteEntity> {
List<ConcreteEntity> getByNameAndAddress(final String name, final String address);
}
public class ConcreteRepositoryImpl extends QueryDslRepositorySupport implements ConcreteRepository {
private BooleanExpression nameEquals(final QConcreteEntity entity, final String name) {
return entity.eq(name);
}
public List<ConcreteEntity> getByNameAndAddress(final String name, final String address) {
QConcreteEntity entity = QConcreteEntity.concreteEntity;
return from(entity).where(entity.name.eq(name).and(entity.address.eq(address))).list(entity);
}
}
The problem with the implementation is that I have to implement getById(final long id)
in each concrete class. I don't want to do that. Normally, spring data automatically knows about each entity. Also I want to have the functionality of QueryDslRepositorySupport.
In my example it normally generates something like:
select .. from concreteentity en where en.id = ...
Is there a way to solve it? I already stumbled upon
Spring Jpa adding custom functionality to all repositories and at the same time other custom funcs to a single repository
and
http://docs.spring.io/spring-data/data-jpa/docs/current/reference/html/repositories.html#repositories.custom-implementations
but I don't think these solutions are helpful and I don't entirely understand how I can use them to solve the problem.
Thanks,
Christian
One way to create a generic getById under QuerydslRepositorySupport is like this
T getById(long id) {
return getEntityManager().find(getBuilder().getType(), id)
}
