In this post, we will see Spring Data JPA IsNull Example using Spring Boot and Oracle. We will see how to use IsNull keyword to define Query Methods(Query creation from method names).
Let’s say we have an entity called Student.java.
package com.javatute.entity; @Entity public class Student { @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO) private int id; @Column(name = "name") private String name; @Column(name = "roll_number") private String rollNumber; @Column(name = "university") String university; }
In the database, we have some records as below.
![Spring Data JPA IsNull Example](https://javatute.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/isnull2.png)
Below Query method will return all record which name is null.
public List<Student> findByNameIsNull();
Generated Query.
Hibernate: select student0_.id as id1_0_, student0_.name as name2_0_, student0_.roll_number as roll_number3_0_, student0_.university as university4_0_ from student student0_ where student0_.name is null
Below Query method will return all record which name is john or null.
public List<Student> findByNameOrNameIsNull(String name);
Hibernate: select student0_.id as id1_0_, student0_.name as name2_0_, student0_.roll_number as roll_number3_0_, student0_.university as university4_0_ from student student0_ where student0_.name=? or student0_.name is null
Below Query method will return all record which name is john or null and the university is rgtu.
public List<Student> findByNameAndUniversityOrNameIsNull(String name, String university);
Hibernate: select student0_.id as id1_0_, student0_.name as name2_0_, student0_.roll_number as roll_number3_0_, student0_.university as university4_0_ from student student0_ where student0_.name=? and student0_.university=? or student0_.name is null
Let’s see an example of Spring Data JPA IsNull Example.
Open eclipse and create maven project, Don’t forget to check ‘Create a simple project (skip)’ click on next. Fill all details(GroupId – springdataisnull, ArtifactId – springdataisnull and name – springdataisnull) and click on finish. Keep packaging as the jar.
Modify pom.xml
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>springdataisnull</groupId> <artifactId>springdataisnull</artifactId> <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> <name>springdataisnull</name> <parent> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId> <version>2.0.2.RELEASE</version> </parent> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>com.oracle</groupId> <artifactId>ojdbc6</artifactId> <version>11.2.0.3</version> </dependency> </dependencies> <build> <finalName>${project.artifactId}</finalName> <plugins> <plugin> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.1</version> <configuration> <fork>true</fork> <executable>C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_131\bin\javac.exe</executable> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build> </project>
Note – In pom.xml we have defined javac.exe path in configuration tag. You need to change accordingly i.e where you have installed JDK.
If you see any error for oracle dependency then follow these steps.

Let’s run the SpringMain class(run as java application).
Perform saveall operation first using below REST API.
Request Data.
[ { "name": "john", "rollNumber": "0126CS01", "university":"rgtu" }, { "name": null, "rollNumber": "0126CS02", "university":"rgtu" }, { "name": "aric", "rollNumber": "0126CS03", "university":"rgtu" }, { "name": null, "rollNumber": "0126CS04", "university":"rgtu" } ]
Response data –
[ { "id": 1, "name": "john", "rollNumber": "0126CS01", "university": "rgtu" }, { "id": 2, "name": null, "rollNumber": "0126CS02", "university": "rgtu" }, { "id": 3, "name": "aric", "rollNumber": "0126CS03", "university": "rgtu" }, { "id": 4, "name": null, "rollNumber": "0126CS04", "university": "rgtu" } ]
Test the below URLs.
