JPA Positional Parameter

JPA Positional Parameter

     

In this section, you will learn about the JPA Positional Parameter and how to use in your JPA application. JPA Queries are convenient to pass the value in parameter. So, We don't have use the same query for different values. To use parameter to add prefix by "?" (question mark) after that staring number. Positional parameter numbered are staring from "1". Positional parameter is using with query.setParameter() method.

Numbered Parameters:

Query query = em.createQuery(
"SELECT st FROM Student st WHERE st.sroll= ?1 AND st.scourse= ?2");
query.setParameter(1, 100);
query.setParameter(2, "MCA");

For developing JPA Named Parameter, you need the following artifacts:

  1. Database Table: student
  2. Model Class: Student.java
  3. Main Class: JPAPositionalParameter.java

Database Table: student

CREATE TABLE `student` ( 
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, 
`sname` varchar(100) NOT NULL, 
`sroll` int(11) NOT NULL, 
`scourse` varchar(10) NOT NULL, 
PRIMARY KEY (`id`) 
)

Model Class: Student.java
