Spring Data JPA @NamedNativeQuery

In this tutorial, we will see Spring Data JPA @NamedNativeQuery annotation Example using Spring Boot and oracle. Also, we will see how to write multiple @NamedNativeQuery using @NamedNativeQueries annotation.

@NamedNativeQuery and @NamedNativeQueries annotations used with entity class. Using @NamedNativeQuery annotation we define a query. Using @NamedNativeQueries we can define multiple @NamedNativeQuery.

Consider we have an entity called Student.java as below.

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;
	

}

and we have some record in the database as below.

Spring Data JPA @NamedNativeQuery

Using @NamedNativeQuery.

package com.javatute.entity;


@Entity
@NamedNativeQuery(name = "Student.findByName", query = "select * from Student where name = ?1", resultClass = Student.class)
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;
}
package com.javatute.entity;

@Entity
@NamedNativeQueries({
		@NamedNativeQuery(name = "Student.findByName", query = "select * from Student where name = ?1", resultClass = Student.class),
		@NamedNativeQuery(name = "Student.findByNameAndRollNumber", query = "select * from Student where name = ?1 and roll_number = ?2", resultClass = Student.class),
		@NamedNativeQuery(name = "Student.findByNameOrRollNumber", query = "select * from Student where name = ?1 or roll_number = ?2", resultClass = Student.class) })
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;

}

Note – If we don’t define resultClass = Student.class then we may not get the proper response.

For example – You may get response data in below format.

http://localhost:9091/student/findByName/john
[
	[
		1,
		"john",
		"120",
		"rgtu"
	]
]

Sample Repository Example.

package com.javatute.repository;

import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.List;

import org.springframework.data.repository.CrudRepository;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;

import com.javatute.entity.Student;

@Repository
public interface StudentRepository extends CrudRepository<Student, Serializable> {

	List<Student> findByName(String name);

	List<Student> findByNameAndRollNumber(String name, String rollNumber);

	List<Student> findByNameOrRollNumber(String name, String rollNumber);

}

Till now We have seen Spring Data JPA @NamedNativeQuery and @NamedNativeQueries annotations. Let’s see a complete example from scratch.

Spring Data JPA @NamedNativeQuery and  @NamedNativeQueries Example using  Spring Boot and Oracle.

Open eclipse and create maven project, Don’t forget to check ‘Create a simple project (skip)’ click on next.  Fill all details(GroupId – springdatanamednativequery, ArtifactId – springdatanamednativequery and name – springdatanamednativequery) 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">

			</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.

http://localhost:9091/student/saveall
[
    {
        "name": "john",
        "rollNumber": "120",
        "university":"rgtu"
    },
    {
        "name": "mark",
        "rollNumber": "121",
        "university":"rgtu"
    },
    {
        "name": "aric",
        "rollNumber": "123",
        "university":"rgtu"
    },
    {
        "name": "hira",
        "rollNumber": "124",
        "university":"rgtu"
    }
]

Response Data.

[
    {
        "id": 1,
        "name": "john",
        "rollNumber": "120",
        "university": "rgtu"

Spring Data JPA @NamedNativeQuery
http://localhost:9091/student/findByNameOrRollNumber/john/121

That’s all about Spring Data JPA @NamedNativeQuery and @NamedNativeQueries Example Using Spring Boot and Oracle.

Let’s see what are the fields defined inside @NamedNativeQuery.

public @interface NamedNativeQuery {
    String name();
    String query();
    QueryHint[] hints() default {};
    Class resultClass() default void.class;
    String resultSetMapping() default "";
}

Fields defined inside @NamedNativeQueries.

public @interface NamedNativeQueries {
    NamedNativeQuery[] value ();
}
