Welcome to Programming Peacefully!

-
I am an information technology professional from Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, it is so ridiculous that many IT professionals do not like programming. I had even heard that some analyst programmers said that they "hate" programming. Many of them will go to the area of project management and their technical skills may become outdated. 

I keep this blog just want to share some of my experience in software development and to exchange knowledge from technology lovers all over the world. If you think that my programme is written badly, please feel free to comment on it. I always want to get improvement on my technical skills :).

Apart from programming, I also love music. I like to play a musical instrument called "Ukulele". If you are interest in it, we can also share something about ukulele in this blog. :)

Customizing Spring Data JPA Repository

-
Spring Data is a very convenient library. However, as the project as quite new, it is not well featured. By default, Spring Data JPA will provide implementation of the DAO based on SimpleJpaRepository. In recent project, I have developed a customize repository base class so that I could add more features on it. You could add vendor specific features to this repository base class as you like. Configuration You have to add the following configuration to you spring beans configuration file. You have to specified a new repository factory class. We will develop the class later. <jpa:repositories base-package="example.borislam.dao" factory-class="example.borislam.data.springData.DefaultRepositoryFactoryBean/> Just develop an interface extending JpaRepository. You should remember to annotate it with @NoRepositoryBean. @NoRepositoryBean public interface GenericRepository <T, ID extends Serializable> extends JpaRepository<T, ID> { } Define...

Adding Hibernate Entity Level Filtering feature to Spring Data JPA Repository

-
Those who have used data filtering features of hibernate should know that it is very powerful. You could define a set of filtering criteria to an entity class or a collection. Spring data JPA is a very handy library but it does not have fitering features. In this post, I will demonstrate how to add the hibernate filter features at entity level. We can just use annotation in your repositoy interface to enable this features. Step 1. Define filter at entity level as usual. Just use hibernate @FilterDef annotation. @Entity @Table(name = "STUDENT") @FilterDef(name="filterBySchoolAndClass", parameters={@ParamDef(name="school", type="string"),@ParamDef(name="class", type="integer")}) public class Student extends GenericEntity implements Serializable { ... } Step2. Define two custom annotations. These two annotations are to be used in your repository interfaces. You could apply the hibernate filter defined in step 1 to spe...
