spring data jpa Pageable Sort Error - sorting

Question

I use spring boot (1.3.5), spring-data, spring-data-jpa, JPA(hibernate/hsqldb).
The code:
POM:
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
<groupId>org.hsqldb</groupId>
<artifactId>hsqldb</artifactId>
The code for configuration:
#Bean
public PageableHandlerMethodArgumentResolver pageableHandlerMethodArgumentResolver(
SortHandlerMethodArgumentResolver sortHandlerMethodArgumentResolver) {
PageableHandlerMethodArgumentResolver phmar = new PageableHandlerMethodArgumentResolver(
sortHandlerMethodArgumentResolver);
phmar.setOneIndexedParameters(false);
phmar.setPageParameterName("page");
phmar.setSizeParameterName("size");
phmar.setMaxPageSize(20);
return phmar;
}
#Bean
public SortHandlerMethodArgumentResolver sortHandlerMethodArgumentResolver() {
SortHandlerMethodArgumentResolver shmar = new SortHandlerMethodArgumentResolver();
shmar.setSortParameter("sort");
return shmar;
}
The controller:
#RequestMapping(value = { "/List", "" })
public String list(Model model, #RequestParam(required = false) String searchString,
#SortDefault(sort = "code", direction = Direction.ASC) #PageableDefault(page = 0, size = 20) Pageable pageable) {
I try
#PageableDefault(page = 0, size = 20, sort = "code", direction = Direction.ASC)
too, but it does not work.
Page<T> page;
if (!isEmpty(searchString))
page = service.search(searchString, pageable); // <-- ERROR
else
page = service.findAll(pageable); // <-- OK
The service (simplified):
#Override
#Transactional(readOnly = true)
public Page<T> search(String str, Pageable pageable) {
return repository.search(str, pageable);
}
The repository (simplified):
#Repository
public interface EntityRepository extends JpaRepository<T, Integer> {
(...)
#Query(value = "SELECT a FROM #{#entityName} a WHERE a.code LIKE CONCAT('%', :str, '%') OR UPPER(a.name) LIKE UPPER(CONCAT('%', :str, '%'))")
Page<T> search(#Param("str") String str, Pageable pageable);
I try whith the same #Query but return List<> intead Page<> without Pageable pageable parameter, and it works with this #Query
test:
#Query(value = "SELECT a FROM #{#entityName} a WHERE a.code LIKE CONCAT('%', :str, '%') OR UPPER(a.name) LIKE UPPER(CONCAT('%', :str, '%'))")
List<T> search(#Param("str") String str);
When I call findAll(pageable) it works but when I call search(str, pageable) (str="AT") it does not work.
Browser output:
Whitelabel Error Page
This application has no explicit mapping for /error, so you are seeing this as a fallback.

There was an unexpected error (type=Internal Server Error, status=500).
org.hibernate.hql.internal.ast.QuerySyntaxException: unexpected token: : near line 1, column 151 [SELECT a FROM prueba.entity.AccountType a WHERE a.code LIKE CONCAT('%', :str, '%') OR UPPER(a.name) LIKE UPPER(CONCAT('%', :str, '%')) order by a.code: ASC asc]; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: org.hibernate.hql.internal.ast.QuerySyntaxException: unexpected token: : near line 1, column 151 [SELECT a FROM prueba.entity.AccountType a WHERE a.code LIKE CONCAT('%', :str, '%') OR UPPER(a.name) LIKE UPPER(CONCAT('%', :str, '%')) order by a.code: ASC asc]
The SQL is invalid! Extra ":" and duplicate "ASC asc".

It seems that during query generation u got that exception.For Pagination use spring-data-jpa you have to implement PagingAndSortingRepository Interface.
You have to write a method which takes parameters as Pageable page as and you can pass new PageRequest(0,size) as argument to Pageable and size is the no of records you want to fetch.
Don't use #Query instead you can write method which is easy and you
can use all the supported key words in spring-data-jpa.you can check
below for supported keywords.
