Question

I would like to write a like query in JpaRepository but it is not returning anything :

LIKE \'%place%\'-its not working.

LIKE

Answer 1

The spring data JPA query needs the "%" chars as well as a space char following like in your query, as in

@Query("Select c from Registration c where c.place like %:place%").

Cf. http://docs.spring.io/spring-data/jpa/docs/current/reference/html.

You may want to get rid of the @Queryannotation alltogether, as it seems to resemble the standard query (automatically implemented by the spring data proxies); i.e. using the single line

List findByPlaceContaining(String place);

is sufficient.
