Pagination in Spring Data JPA (limit and offset)

Question

I want the user to be able to specify the limit (the size of the amount returned) and offset (the first record returned / index returned) in my query method.

Here a

Answer 1

Below code should do it. I am using in my own project and tested for most cases.

usage:

   Pageable pageable = new OffsetBasedPageRequest(offset, limit);
   return this.dataServices.findAllInclusive(pageable);

and the source code:

import org.apache.commons.lang3.builder.EqualsBuilder;
import org.apache.commons.lang3.builder.HashCodeBuilder;
import org.apache.commons.lang3.builder.ToStringBuilder;
import org.springframework.data.domain.AbstractPageRequest;
import org.springframework.data.domain.Pageable;
import org.springframework.data.domain.Sort;

import java.io.Serializable;

/**

public class OffsetBasedPageRequest implements Pageable, Serializable {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = -25822477129613575L;

    private int limit;
    private int offset;
    private final Sort sort;

    /**

     *
     * @param offset zero-based offset.
     * @param limit  the size of the elements to be returned.
     * @param sort   can be {@literal null}.
     */
    public OffsetBasedPageRequest(int offset, int limit, Sort sort) {
        if (offset < 0) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Offset index must not be less than zero!");
        }

        if (limit < 1) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Limit must not be less than one!");
        }
        this.limit = limit;
        this.offset = offset;
        this.sort = sort;
    }

    /**

    public OffsetBasedPageRequest(int offset, int limit, Sort.Direction direction, String... properties) {
        this(offset, limit, new Sort(direction, properties));
    }
