+=== Named Queries
+
+If no query is given in an annotation as described in the previous section Spring Data JDBC will try to locate a named query.
+There are two ways how the name of the query can be determined.
+The default is to take the _domain class_ of the query, i.e. the aggregate root of the repository, take its simple name and append the name of the method separated by a `.`.
+Alternatively the `@Query` annotation has a `name` attribute which can be used to specify the name of a query to be looked up.
+
+Named queries are expected to be provided in the property file `META-INF/jdbc-named-queries.properties` on the classpath.
+
+The location of that file may be changed by setting a value to `@EnableJdbcRepositories.namedQueriesLocation`.
