I have an entity which would be stored in both relational(MySql) and graph database(Neo4j).
#Entity
#NodeEntity(partial = true)
public class User {
#NotNull
#Column(name = "UserName", unique = true)
private String userName;
#GraphProperty
String firstName;
}
I know we have JpaRepository and GraphRepository.
public interface UserRepository extends JpaRepository<User, Long> { }
public interface UserGraphRepository extends GraphRepository<User> { }
But is there any repository implementation for handling such a cross store entity? So I could do something like this.
public interface UserRepository extends CrossStoreRepository<User, Long> { }
So when I call save, it should save in both the databases.
I did some searching and found nothing.So started writing one myself.
If no such thing exist, is there a plan to add one in the future?
Is there any reason why you can't use spring-data-neo4j-cross-store as it is part of the spring-data-neo4j distribution?

I have a base entity class BaseDictionary:
#Entity
#Inheritance
public abstract class BaseDictionary {
#Id
#Column(name = "id")
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
protected Long id;
#Column(name = "code")
protected String code;
#Column(name = "is_enabled")
protected Boolean enabled = true;
}
any child classes
#Entity
#Table(name = DB.DIC_RIGHTS_TYPE, schema = DB.SCHEMA_DIC)
public class DicRightsType extends BaseDictionary {}
#Entity
#Table(name = DB.DIC_ROLES_TYPE, schema = DB.SCHEMA_DIC)
public class DicRolesType extends BaseDictionary {}
There are many child classes like this.
Given an entity class name like DicRightsType I would like to get data from the table associated with the entity of that name. How is it possible to implement?
I wanted to use JPA repositories like this: Using generics in Spring Data JPA repositories but this does not suit my case because I only have the name of the entity class at runtime and do not know how to create a dynamic repository for the class.
You can write your own JpaRepository implementation to achieve this.
Step 1: A repository registry
class RepositoryRegistrar {
private static final Map<Class<T>, Repository<T, Serializable>> DICTIONARY = new HashMap<>();
public static void register(Class<T> entityClass, Repository<T, Serializable> repository) {
DICTIONARY.put(entityClass, repository);
}
public static Repository<T, Serializable> get(Class<T> entityClass) {
return DICTIONARY.get(entityClass);
}
}
Step 2: Custom JpaRepository implementation to populate the registry
#NoRepositoryBean
class RegisteringJpaRepository<T, ID extends Serializable> extends SimpleJpaRepository<T, ID> {
public RegisteringJpaRepository(JpaEntityInformation<T, ?> entityInformation, EntityManager entityManager) {{
super(entityInformation, entityManager);
RepositoryRegistrar.register(entityInformation.getJavaType(), this);
}
}
You will have to tweak the configuration to use your custom implementation. Details for this are provided in the Spring Data JPA documentation.
Step 3: Obtain repository references from the registrar
Repository<?, ?> getRepository(String entityClassName) {
return RepositoryRegistrar.get(Class.forName(entityClassName));
}
I'm using Spring Boot (1.3.3.RELEASE) and Hibernate JPA in my project. My entity looks like this:
#Data
#NoArgsConstructor
#Entity
#Table(name = "rule")
public class RuleVO {
#Id
#GeneratedValue
private Long id;
#Column(name = "name", length = 128, nullable = false, unique = true)
private String name;
#Column(name = "tag", length = 256)
private String tag;
#OneToMany(mappedBy = "rule", cascade = CascadeType.ALL, orphanRemoval = true)
private List<RuleOutputArticleVO> outputArticles;
#OneToMany(mappedBy = "rule", cascade = CascadeType.ALL, orphanRemoval = true)
private List<RuleInputArticleVO> inputArticles;
}
My repository looks like this:
#Repository
public interface RuleRepository extends JpaRepository<RuleVO, Long> {
}
In some cases I need to fetch only id and name attributes of entity RuleVO. How can I achieve this? I found a notice it should be doable using Criteria API and Projections but how? Many thanks in advance. Vojtech
UPDATE:
As has been pointed out to me, I'm lazy and this can very well be done hence I'm updating my answer after having looked around the web for a proper one.
Here's an example of how to get only the id's and only the names:
#Repository
public interface RuleRepository extends JpaRepository<RuleVO, Long> {
#Query("SELECT r.id FROM RuleVo r where r.name = :name")
List<Long> findIdByName(#Param("name") String name);
#Query("SELECT r.name FROM RuleVo r where r.id = :id")
String findNameById(#Param("id") Long id);
}
Hopefully this update proves helpful
Old Answer:
Only retrieving the specific attributes name/id is not possible as this is not how spring was designed or any SQL database for that matter as you always select a row which is an entity.
What you CAN do is query over the variables in the entity, for instance:
#Repository
public interface RuleRepository extends JpaRepository<RuleVO, Long> {
public RuleVo findOneByName(String name);
public RuleVo findOneByNameOrId(String name, Long id);
public List<RuleVo> findAllByName(String name);
// etc, depending on what you want
}
You can modify these however you want w.r.t. your needs. You can call these methods directly via the autowired repository
See http://docs.spring.io/spring-data/jpa/docs/current/reference/html/ Section 5.3 for more options and examples
interface IdOnly{
String getId();
}
#Repository
public interface RuleRepository extends JpaRepository<RuleVO, Long> {
public List<IdOnly> findAllByName(String name);
}
I notice that this is a very old post, but if someone is still looking for an answer, try this. It worked for me.
You can also define custom constructor to fetch specific columns using JPQL.
Example:
Replace {javaPackagePath} with complete java package path of the class
use as a constructor in JPQL.
public class RuleVO {
public RuleVO(Long id, String name) {
this.id = id;
this.name = name;
}
}
#Repository
public interface RuleRepository extends JpaRepository<RuleVO, Long> {
#Query("SELECT new {javaPackagePath}.RuleVO(r.id, r.name) FROM RuleVo r where r.name = :name")
List<RuleVO> findIdByName(#Param("name") String name);
}
Yes, you can achieve it with projections. You have many ways to apply them:
If you could upgrade to Spring Data Hopper, it provides an easy to use support for projections. See how to use them in the reference documentation.
Otherwise, first of all create a DTO with the attributes you want to load, something like:
package org.example;
public class RuleProjection {
private final Long id;
private final String name;
public RuleProjection(Long id, String name) {
this.id = id;
this.name = name;
}
public Long getId() {
return id;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
}
Of course, you could use Lombok annotations also.
Then, you can use in the JPQL queries like this:
select new org.example.RuleProjection(rule.id, rule.name) from RuleVO rule order by rule.name
Another option, if you want to avoid using DTO class names in your queries, is to implement your own query method using QueryDSL. With Spring Data JPA, you have to:
Create a new interface with the new method. Ex:
public interface RuleRepositoryCustom {
public List<RuleProjection> findAllWithProjection();
}
Change your repository to extend the new interface. Ex:
public interface RuleRepository extends JpaRepository<RuleVO, Long>, RuleRepositoryCustom {
...
Create an implementation of the Custom repository using the Spring Data JPA QueryDSL support. You have to previously generate the Q clases of QueryDSL, using its Maven plugin. Ex:
public class RuleRepositoryImpl {
public List<RuleProjection> findAllWithProjection() {
QRuleVO rule = QRuleVO.ruleVO;
JPQLQuery query = getQueryFrom(rule);
query.orderBy(rule.name.asc());
return query.list(ConstructorExpression.create(RuleProjection.class, rule.id, rule.name));
}
}
You can do it by using #Query annotation(HQL).
Please refer to the Spring docs below:
http://docs.spring.io/spring-data/jpa/docs/current/reference/html/#jpa.query-methods.at-query
(search for #Query in spring document)
Does anyone have any idea how to get a single column using Spring Data JPA? I created a repository like below in my Spring Boot project, but always get the {"cause":null,"message":"PersistentEntity must not be null!"} error when accessing the Restful URL.
#RepositoryRestResource(collectionResourceRel = "users", path = "users")
public interface UsersRepository extends CrudRepository<Users, Integer> {
#Query("SELECT u.userName FROM Users u")
public List<String> getUserName();
}
Then if I access the Restful URL like ../users/search/getUserName, I get the error:
{"cause":null,"message":"PersistentEntity must not be null!"}
Create a Projection interface
public interface UserNameOnly {
String getUserName();
}
Then in your repository interface return that type instead of the user type
public interface UserRepository<User> extends JpaRepository<User,String> {
List<UsernameOnly> findNamesByUserNameNotNull();
}
The get method in the projection interface must match a get method of the defined type on the JPA repository, in this case User.
The "findBySomePropertyOnTheObjectThatIsNotNull" allows you to get a List of the entities (as opposed to an Iterable) based on some criteria, which for a findAll can simply be if the unique identifier (or any other NonNull field) is not null.
Concept is : In your entity class create a constructor with only required instant variables. And use that constructor in the repository method shown below.
Lets say you have a interface Repository like below
Repository implementation:
public interface UserRepository<User> extends JpaRepository<User,String>
{
#Query(value = "select new com.org.User(usr.userId) from User usr where usr.name(:name)")
List<User> findUserIdAlone(#Param("name") String user);
}
In Controller
#RestController
public class UserController
{
#Autowired
private UserRepository<User> userRepository;
#Res
public ResponseEntity<User> getUser(#PathVariable("usrname") String userName)
{
User resultUser = usrRepository.findUserIdAlone(userName);
return ResponseEntity.ok(resultUser);
}
}
public class User
{
private String userId,userName;
public User(String userId)
{
this.userId=userId;
}
// setter and getters goes here
}
This Works for me.
public interface UserDataRepository extends JpaRepository<UserData, Long> {
#Query(value = "SELECT emp_name FROM user_data", nativeQuery = true)
public List<Object[]> findEmp_name();
}
System.out.println("data"+ userDataRepository.findEmp_name());
The above line gave me this result :
data[abhijeet, abhijeet1, abhijeet2, abhijeet3, abhijeet4, abhijeet5]
If you want to only return a single column you should look at Projections and Excerpts which will allow you to filter specific columns and other things that are usefule.
If you need list all of the users, try select userName from Users, if you need one user use "where" look at spring data JPA http://docs.spring.io/spring-data/jpa/docs/current/reference/html/ , try change CrudRepository to JpaRepository
It is possible to provide custom implementations of methods in a Spring Data JPA repository, which enables complete control on queries and return types. The approach is as follows:
Define an interface with the desired method signatures.
Implement the interface to achieve the desired behavior.
Have the Repository extend both JpaRepository and the custom interface.
Here is a working example that uses JpaRepository, assuming a user_table with two columns, user_id and user_name.
UserEntity class in model package:
#Entity
#Table(name = "user_table")
public class UserEntity {
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
#Column(name = "user_id")
private Long userId;
#Column(name = "user_name")
private String userName;
protected UserEntity() {}
public UserEntity(String userName) {
this.userName = userName;
// standard getters and setters
}
Define interface for the custom repository in the repository package:
public interface UserCustomRepository {
List<String> findUserNames();
}
Provide implementation class for the custom interface in the repository package:
public class UserCustomRepositoryImpl implements UserCustomRepository {
// Spring auto configures a DataSource and JdbcTemplate
// based on the application.properties file. We can use
// autowiring to get a reference to it.
JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate;
#Autowired
public void setJdbcTemplate(JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate) {
this.jdbcTemplate = jdbcTemplate;
}
// Now our custom implementation can use the JdbcTemplate
// to perform JPQL queries and return basic datatypes.
#Override
public List<String> findUserNames() throws DataAccessException {
String sql = "SELECT user_name FROM user_table";
return jdbcTemplate.queryForList(sql, String.class);
}
}
Finally, we just need to have the UserRepository extend both JpaRepository and the custom interface we just implemented.
public interface UserRepository extends JpaRepository<UserEntity, Long>, UserCustomRepository {}
Simple test class with junit 5 (assuming the database is initially empty):
#SpringBootTest
class UserRepositoryTest {
private static final String JANE = "Jane";
private static final String JOE = "Joe";
#Autowired
UserRepository repo;
#Test
void shouldFindUserNames() {
UserEntity jane = new UserEntity(JANE);
UserEntity joe = new UserEntity(JOE);
repo.saveAndFlush(jane);
repo.saveAndFlush(joe);
List<UserEntity> users = repo.findAll();
assertEquals(2, users.size());
List<String> names = repo.findUserNames();
assertEquals(2, names.size());
assertTrue(names.contains(JANE));
assertTrue(names.contains(JOE));
}
}
These are the following classes:
#Entity
public class Question {
#Id
public Long id;
public String name;
#OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, cascade = CascadeType.PERSIST)
#JoinColumn(name = "OWNER_ID", referencedColumnName = "QUES_ID")
public List<Choice> choices = new ArrayList<>();
}
#Named
#Singleton
public interface QuestionRepository extends CrudRepository<Question , Long> {
Question findByName(String name);
}
And in the Controller file I have this following File
#Transactional
public Result getQuestion() {
List<Choices> list = this.questionRepository.findByName("name").choices;
list.size();
return ok();
}
list.size() in getQuestion() throws me a LazyInitializationException because there is not open sessions
I know that changing the fetch type to EAGER or using a JPQL query above the function definition in QuestionRepository might solve it, but there are part in my application where those wont help and I would require to lazy fetch.
How would make the entire code in getQuestion() function use a single session/transaction or even better my entire request to take place in an single session/transaction?
From Spring Data JPA reference documentation
4.7.1. Transactional query methods
To allow your query methods to be transactional simply use #Transactional at the repository interface
you define.
Example 100. Using #Transactional at query methods
#Transactional(readOnly = true)
public interface UserRepository extends JpaRepository<User, Long> {
List<User> findByLastname(String lastname);
#Modifying
#Transactional
#Query("delete from User u where u.active = false")
void deleteInactiveUsers();
}
Typically you will want the readOnly flag set to true as most of the query methods will only read data. In contrast to that deleteInactiveUsers() makes use of the #Modifying annotation and overrides the transaction configuration. Thus the method will be executed with readOnly flag set to false.
So just add #Transactional annotation to your repository interfaces.
I'm new to Neo4J and I have, probably an easy question.
There're NodeEntitys in my application, a property (name) is annotated with #Indexed(unique = true) to achieve the uniqueness like I do in JPA with #Column(unique = true).
My problem is, that when I persist an entity with a name that already exists in my graph, it works fine anyway.
But I expected some kind of exception here...?!
Here' s an overview over basic my code:
#NodeEntity
public abstract class BaseEntity implements Identifiable
{
#GraphId
private Long entityId;
...
}
public class Role extends BaseEntity
{
#Indexed(unique = true)
private String name;
...
}
public interface RoleRepository extends GraphRepository<Role>
{
Role findByName(String name);
}
#Service
public class RoleServiceImpl extends BaseEntityServiceImpl<Role> implements
{
private RoleRepository repository;
#Override
#Transactional
public T save(final T entity) {
return getRepository().save(entity);
}
}
And this is my test:
#Test
public void testNameUniqueIndex() {
final List<Role> roles = Lists.newLinkedList(service.findAll());
final String existingName = roles.get(0).getName();
Role newRole = new Role.Builder(existingName).build();
newRole = service.save(newRole);
}
That's the point where I expect something to go wrong!
How can I ensure the uniqueness of a property, without checking it for myself??
P.S.: I'm using neo4j 1.8.M07, spring-data-neo4j 2.1.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT and Spring 3.1.2.RELEASE.
I walked into the same trap... as long as you create new entities, you will not see the exception - the last save()-action wins the battle.
Unfortunately, the DataIntegrityViolationException will be raised only in case of update an existing entity!
A detailed description of that behaviour can be found here:
http://static.springsource.org/spring-data/data-graph/snapshot-site/reference/html/#d5e1035
If you are using SDN 3.2.0+ use the failOnDuplicate attribute:
public class Role extends BaseEntity
{
#Indexed(unique = true, failOnDuplicate = true)
private String name;
...
}
