Externalize query in spring boot application

Question

I am using spring-boot 1.5.6 RELEASE. I want to do a basic thing, move my queries from the @Query annotation in the repository to any xml file.

Answer 1

Create META-INF inside resources folder . Now create jpa-named-queries.properties file inside that META-INF folder.

Write your query inside this properties file like this:

Customer.findAllCustomerByNamedQuery=Select c from Customer c

Where Customer denote name of entity class and findAllCustomerByNamedQuery is the query name

In your customer repository write this to call your query written in properties file:

List findAllCustomerByNamedQuery();
