Inspired by Legacy Hibernate Criteria Queries, while this should be considered deprecated vs JPA APIs,
but it still productive and easily understandable. Build on Spring Data JPA and simplify the dynamic query process.
- Compatible with Spring Data JPA and JPA 2 interface.
- Equal/NotEqual/Like/NotLike/In/NotIn support multiple values, Equal/NotEqual support Null value.
- Builder style specification creator.
- Support pagination and sort builder.

####Each specification support three parameters:
- condition: if true(default), apply this specification.
- property: field name.
- values: compare value with model, eq/ne/like support multiple values.
####General Example
every Repository class should extends from two super class JpaRepository and JpaSpecificationExecutor.
public interface PersonRepository extends JpaRepository<Person, Long>, JpaSpecificationExecutor<Person> {
}
public Page<Person> findAll(SearchRequest request) {
Specification<Person> specification = new Specifications<Person>()
.eq(StringUtils.isNotBlank(request.getName()), "name", request.getName())
.gt(Objects.nonNull(request.getAge()), "age", 18)
.between("birthday", new Range<>(new Date(), new Date()))
.like("nickName", "%og%", "%me")
.build();
return personRepository.findAll(specification, new PageRequest(0, 15));
}
####Equal/NotEqual Example
find any person nickName equals to "dog" and name equals to "Jack"/"Eric" or null value, and company is null.
Test: EqualTest.java and NotEqualTest.java
public Persons findAll(SearchRequest request) {
Specification<Person> specification = new Specifications<Person>()
.eq("nickName", "dog")
.eq(StringUtils.isNotBlank(request.getName()), "name", "Jack", "Eric", null)
.eq("company", null) //or eq("company", (Object) null)
.build();
return personRepository.findAll(specification);
}
####In/NotIn Example
find any person name in "Jack" or "Eric" and company not in "ThoughtWorks" or "IBM".
Test: InTest.java
public Persons findAll(SearchRequest request) {
Specification<Person> specification = new Specifications<Person>()
.in("name", request.getNames().toArray()) //or in("name", "Jack", "Eric")
.notIn("company", "ThoughtWorks", "IBM")
.build();
return personRepository.findAll(specification);
}
####Numerical Example
find any people age bigger than 18.
Test: GtTest.java
public Persons findAll(SearchRequest request) {
Specification<Person> specification = new Specifications<Person>()
.gt(Objects.nonNull(request.getAge()), "age", 18)
.build();
return personRepository.findAll(specification);
}
####Between Example
find any person age between 18 and 25, birthday between someday and someday.
Test: BetweenTest.java
public Persons findAll(SearchRequest request) {
Specification<Person> specification = new Specifications<Person>()
.between(Objects.nonNull(request.getAge(), "age", new Range<>(18, 25))
.between("birthday", new Range<>(new Date(), new Date()))
.build();
return personRepository.findAll(specification);
}
####Like/NotLike Example
find any person name like %ac% or %og%, company not like %ec%.
Test: LikeTest.java and NotLikeTest.java
public Page<Person> findAll(SearchRequest request) {
Specification<Person> specification = new Specifications<Person>()
.like("name", "ac", "%og%")
.notLike("company", "ec")
.build();
return personRepository.findAll(specification);
}
####Join
every specification support association query as inner join.
Test: JoinTest.java
@ManyToOne association query, find person name equals to "Jack" and phone brand equals to "HuaWei".
public List<Phone> findAll(SearchRequest request) {
Specification<Phone> specification = new Specifications<Phone>()
.eq(StringUtils.isNotBlank(request.getBrand()), "brand", "HuaWei")
.eq(StringUtils.isNotBlank(request.getPersonName()), "person.name", "Jack)
.build();
return phoneRepository.findAll(specification);
}
@ManyToMany association query, find person age between 10 and 35, live in "Chengdu" street.
public List<Phone> findAll(SearchRequest request) {
Specification<Person> specification = new Specifications<Person>()
.between("age", new Range<>(10, 35))
.eq(StringUtils.isNotBlank(jack.getName()), "addresses.street", "Chengdu")
.build();
return phoneRepository.findAll(specification);
}
####Custom Specification
You can custom specification to do the @ManyToOne and @ManyToMany as well.
@ManyToOne association query, find person name equals to "Jack" and phone brand equals to "HuaWei".
Test: AndTest.java
public List<Phone> findAll(SearchRequest request) {
Specification<Phone> specification = new Specifications<Phone>()
.eq(StringUtils.isNotBlank(request.getBrand()), "brand", "HuaWei")
.and(StringUtils.isNotBlank(request.getPersonName()), (root, query, cb) -> {
Path<Person> person = root.get("person");
return cb.equal(person.get("name"), "Jack");
})
.build();
return phoneRepository.findAll(specification);
}
@ManyToMany association query, find person age between 10 and 35, live in "Chengdu" street.
Test: AndTest.java
public List<Phone> findAll(SearchRequest request) {
Specification<Person> specification = new Specifications<Person>()
.between("age", new Range<>(10, 35))
.and(StringUtils.isNotBlank(jack.getName()), ((root, query, cb) -> {
Join address = root.join("addresses", JoinType.LEFT);
return cb.equal(address.get("street"), "Chengdu");
}))
.build();
return phoneRepository.findAll(specification);
}
####Pagination and Sort
find person by pagination and sort by name desc and birthday asc.
public Page<Person> findAll(SearchRequest request) {
Specification<Person> specification = new Specifications<Person>()
.eq(StringUtils.isNotBlank(request.getName()), "name", request.getName())
.gt("age", 18)
.between("birthday", new Range<>(new Date(), new Date()))
.like("nickName", "%og%")
.build();
Sort sort = new Sorts()
.desc(StringUtils.isNotBlank(request.getName()), "name")
.asc("birthday")
.build();
return personRepository.findAll(specification, new PageRequest(0, 15, sort));
}
####Virtual View
Using @org.hibernate.annotations.Subselect to define a virtual view if you don't want a database table view.
There is no difference between a view and a base table for a Hibernate mapping.
