The actual fix for this ticket has been introduced during the refactoring for DATAJPA-86 (04349d25dc) thus it's already fixed in 1.1.0.M1. Added a test case to verify the behavior.
JpaQueryCreator hands Comparable into ParameterExpressionProvider to create ParameterExpression instances for Comparables. The ParameterExpressionProvider in turn now inspects the actual Parameter type and hand this one into the builder in case it's assignable (read: more concrete) to the given type requested.
Mention PersistenceExceptionTranslator being activated when using the JPA namespace. Documented custom namespace attributes special to the JPA namespace.
Added handling of count methods for queries using group by. In case the count query returns multiple results we use the number of results instead of failing. If the result contains one result we use this one.
Moved hint handling to AbstractJpaQuery.
We now don't catch an IllegalArgumentException being thrown in case a domain class is not found in the metamodel. If it occurs there's nothing we can do about it as we can't come up with an EntityInformation instance then and the persistence provider couldn't handle it anyway.
The query creation subsystem now supports using IgnoreCase when referencing String parameters, e.g.:
findByUsernameIgnoreCase(String username);
Both 'IgnoreCase' and 'IgnoringCase' are supported. If you'd like to entirely ignore cases for all String property references add 'AllIgnoreCase' or 'AllIgnoringCase' to the query method.
We now eagerly create CriteriaQuery and it's ParameterExpressions in QueryPreparer's constructor. Lazily doing so could let to exceptions accessing the ParameterExpressions in race conditions.
JpaQueryCreator is stateful as we create a list of ParameterExpressions and iterate over them. So we have to re-instantiate the JpaQueryCreator to not create an exception on the second attempt.
Added Sonargraph architecture description. Removed cyclic package dependency. Introduced JpaEntityInformationSupport to contain common getEntityName() method and serving as factory for JpaEntityInformation instances.
Upgraded to Querydsl 2.2.0. Added configuration to generate query classes for AbstractPersistable and AbstractAuditable. Package those query classes into the source JAR and compile it into the binary as well. Upgraded Mysema APT plugin to 1.0.2.
We now create the CriteriaQuery instance for derived queries only once in case the query method does not contain a dynamic sort parameter (either through a plain Sort or via a Pageable).
We now support extracting query definitions into a properties file which can be configured on the JpaRepositoryFactoryBean. The namespace will look for classpath*:META-INF/jpa-named-queries.properties by default.
The JpaQueryCreator now creates a CriteriaQuery using ParameterExpressions that have to be bound later on. Refactored the RepositoryQuery implementation hierarchy and JpaQueryExecution as binding has to be done by the query classes now. This required the introduction of a special CriteraQueryParameterBinder as well. It uses the ParameterExpressions of the CriteriaQuery to bind the actual query values later on.
We have to convert arrays passed into query method into collections as none of the major persistence providers support binding arrays to IN parameters currently.
