Spring Data Querying DateTime with only Date

Question

I have this Data Model

public class CustomerModel{

  @Column
  @Type(type=\"org.joda.time.contrib.hibernate.PersistentDateTime\")
  private DateTime members         


        

Answer 1

Unfortunately with JodaTime the only way around this is using the Between keyword and use two DateTime instances making up the day.

interface CustomerRepo extends Repository{

  List findByMemberShipDateBetween(DateTime start, DateTime end);
}

If your domain model used Java Dates internally you could've used this style:

interface CustomerRepo extends Repository{

  List findByMemberShipDate(@Temporal(TemporalType.DATE) Date date);
}

Not the @Temporal annotation is a custom Spring Data JPA one as the plain JPA one is currently not allowed on parameters. The reason that this only works with Java Dates unfortunately is a limitation of the current JPAPIs. The setParameter(…) method on Query only takes a TemporalType for parameters of type Date. We could try converting the JodaTime objects on parameter binding but I guess the persistence providers will reject that due to the type mismatch then (Date VS. DateTime).
