spring-data-jpa insert an entire entity - spring

Question

I'm new to spring-data-jpa and I've been doing just fine with reading records out of a database but now I would like to insert records. I would like to follow my same pattern of using the repository class along with a query to do the insertion. Is there a way similar to this post https://stackoverflow.com/a/24848086/3299397 where I can insert a record but instead of explicitly specifying each value I simply pass to the function an entity object and insert the entire object? Here is what I have so far.

}
This works for me when I want to read a record from the database...
Update Note: Please note that I am not necessarily concerned with doing 'Native Queries' I would just like to keep the same general pattern as what is shown in my Repository class. I would not reject an answer that uses a Native Query though. It honestly doesn't matter to me.

Answer 1

I didn't realize how simple this was. I am already inheriting the JpaRepository inside my repository class. JpaRepository has a method called 'save'. So you simply call that method. Everything works now....
I added new code below to the Service class (there's a new put method for the insert) and to the Component class (you can see me call the service classes put method). Hope this helps someone in the future.
