This document will give example with Spring Boot using Spring Data

The below class will give Employee entity

package [Link];

import [Link];

import [Link];

import [Link];

import [Link];

@Entity

@Table(name="employee")

public class Employee {

@Id

@Column(name="emp_id")

private Integer empId;

@Column(name="first_name")
 private String firstName;

@Column(name="last_name")

private String lastName;

public Integer getEmpId() {

return empId;

public void setEmpId(Integer empId) {

[Link] = empId;

public String getFirstName() {

return firstName;

public void setFirstName(String firstName) {

[Link] = firstName;

public String getLastName() {

return lastName;

public void setLastName(String lastName) {

[Link] = lastName;

}
EmployeeRepository—this class is Repository

package [Link];

import [Link];

import [Link];

import [Link];

import [Link];

import [Link];

public interface EmployeeRepository extends JpaRepository<Employee,Integer> {

@Query("FROM Employee where firstName=?1")

List<Employee> findByFirstName(String firstName);

@Query("FROM Employee where firstName=?1 and lastName=?2")

List<Employee> findByFirstAndLastName(String firstName,String lastName);

@Query("FROM Employee WHERE firstName=:fName "

+ "and lastName=:lName")

List<Employee> findByFirstAndLastNameUsingNamedParam(

@Param("lName") String lastName,

@Param("fName") String firstName);

@Query("SELECT [Link], [Link] FROM Employee emp "

+ "WHERE firstName=:fName "

+ "and lastName=:lName")
 List<Object[]> getIdFromFirstAndLastName(

@Param("fName") String firstName,

@Param("lName") String lastName);

@Query(value="select * FROM Employee WHERE firstName=?1 "

+ "and lastName=?2"

,nativeQuery=true)

List<Employee> findByFirstAndLastNameUsingNativeSQL(String firstName,

String lastName);

@Query("FROM Employee WHERE firstName = ?1")

List<Employee> findByFirstName(String firstName, Pageable pageable);

The service class will connect to Repository
