Spring Jpa adding custom functionality to all repositories and at the same time other custom funcs to a single repository

Question

Spring documentation here http://docs.spring.io/spring-data/data-jpa/docs/current/reference/html/repositories.html#repositories.custom-implementations gives example to add c

Answer 1

You just need to combine the approaches on the doc page you mentioned. Let Car be the entity you want to have a custom repository for.

CommonCustomRepository defines the methods added to all repos:

@NoRepositoryBean
public interface CommonCustomRepository extends JpaRepository {
    String getCustomValue();
}

The implementation for this repo:

public class CommonCustomRepositoryImpl extends SimpleJpaRepository implements CommonCustomRepository {

    public CommonCustomRepositoryImpl(Class domainClass, EntityManager em) {
        super(domainClass, em);
    }

    public CommonCustomRepositoryImpl(JpaEntityInformation entityInformation,
            EntityManager entityManager) {
        super(entityInformation, entityManager);
    }

    @Override
    public String getCustomValue() {
        return "CustomValue";
    }

}

Custom methods for CarRepository

@NoRepositoryBean
public interface CustomCarRepository {

    public String getCustomCarValue();
}

Implementation of the custom car-related methods

public class CarRepositoryImpl implements CustomCarRepository {

    @PersistenceContext
    private EntityManager em;

    @Override
    public String getCustomCarValue() {
        return "CustomCarValue";
    }
}

The combined interface for CarRepository

public interface CarRepository extends CommonCustomRepository, CustomCarRepository {
}

Custom repo factory, just like in the documentation

public class CustomRepositoryFactoryBean, T, I extends Serializable> extends
    JpaRepositoryFactoryBean {

    @Override
    protected RepositoryFactorySupport createRepositoryFactory(EntityManager entityManager) {

        return new CustomRepositoryFactory(entityManager);
    }

    private static class CustomRepositoryFactory extends JpaRepositoryFactory {

        private EntityManager entityManager;

        public CustomRepositoryFactory(EntityManager entityManager) {
            super(entityManager);

            this.entityManager = entityManager;
        }

        @Override
        protected Object getTargetRepository(RepositoryMetadata metadata) {

            return new CommonCustomRepositoryImpl((Class) metadata.getDomainType(), entityManager);
        }

        @Override
        protected Class getRepositoryBaseClass(RepositoryMetadata metadata) {

            // The RepositoryMetadata can be safely ignored, it is used by the JpaRepositoryFactory
            // to check for QueryDslJpaRepository's which is out of scope.
            return CommonCustomRepositoryImpl.class;
        }
    }
}

The final bit of configuration, just like in the docs
