I'm trying to make a query using Spring Data, but I cannot make it work:
@Query(SELECT t FROM Thing t WHERE name LIKE :name AND CASE WHEN (:minVal <= 0) THEN TRUE ELSE (val <= :minVal) END AND CASE WHEN (:maxVal <= 0) THEN TRUE ELSE (val >= :maxVal) END)
Page<Thing> getThings(@Param("name") String name, @Param("maxVal") int maxVal, @Param("minVal") minVal);
StackTrace:

I'm using this because I want to make a longer query using five filters at least, and I want to simplify the effort of doing the filter combinations making differents querys.
Don't know if there is a different (and better) way to do what I want, glad to ear it if it is.
Thank you.
EDIT: Using native query works fine, but isn't compatible with pagination yet...
It looks like Hibernate cannot evaluate the result of a CASE expression when it returns a boolean literal directly. A workaround is to make the CASE expression part of another expression, e.g. by comparing it to another boolean literal.
So instead of:
... AND CASE WHEN (:minVal <= 0) THEN TRUE ELSE (val <= :minVal) END
Try:
... AND (CASE WHEN (:minVal <= 0) THEN TRUE ELSE (val <= :minVal) END) = TRUE
But looking at that expression, wouldn't it be simpler to just do:
... AND (:minVal <= 0 OR val <= :minVal)
Is it not equivalent?
