QueryMethods now expose a ResourceProcessor which is exposes information about the final to be created object types which can either be DTOs containing a persistence constructor (see @PersistenceConstructor) or projection interfaces. The former are analyzed for constructor properties so that store implementations can use that information to create projected queries that return exactly the fields required for that DTO.
Projection interfaces are inspected, their properties are considered input properties and the same projection queries can be issued against the data store. If a projection contains dynamically calculated properties (i.e. it uses SpEL expressions via @Value) the original entities have to be queried and can be projected during post processing.
ProjectionFactory now exposes a more advanced ProjectionInformation that has additional meta information about the projection type. ProxyProjectionFactory now refers to the BeanClassLoader instead of the ResourceLoader.
RepositoryFactory(Bean)Support now also implement BeanFactoryAware to forward the BeanFactory to the SpelAwareProxyProjectionFactory which in turn now gets handed into the QueryLookupStrategy as well as the QueryMethod.
Parameter now knows about a dynamic projection type, which is a query method parameter of type Class bound to a generic method parameter and will be used to determine the projection to be used on a per call basis.
