Question

Is it possible to create read-only repositories using Spring Data?

I have some entities linked to views and some child entities for which I would like to provide a r

Answer 1

This is for read-only PagingAndSortingRepository

package com.oracle.odc.data.catalog.service.core.repository;

import org.springframework.data.domain.Page;
import org.springframework.data.domain.Pageable;
import org.springframework.data.domain.Sort;
import org.springframework.data.repository.NoRepositoryBean;
import org.springframework.data.repository.PagingAndSortingRepository;
import org.springframework.data.rest.core.annotation.RestResource;

/**
 * Extension of {@link PagingAndSortingRepository} but without modification capabilities
 *
 * @author XYZ
 * @see Sort
 * @see Pageable
 * @see Page
 */
@NoRepositoryBean
public interface ReadOnlyPagingAndSortingRepository extends PagingAndSortingRepository {

    @Override
    @RestResource(exported=false)
     S save(S entity);

    @Override
    @RestResource(exported=false)
     Iterable saveAll(Iterable entities);

    @Override
    @RestResource(exported=false)
    void deleteById(ID id);

    @Override
    @RestResource(exported=false)
    void delete(T entity);

    @Override
    @RestResource(exported=false)
    void deleteAll(Iterable entities);

    @Override
    @RestResource(exported=false)
    void deleteAll();

}

If you try to POST or DELETE, you will get 405 (Method Not Allowed).
