  • Method Details

    • isBaseClassMethod

      boolean isBaseClassMethod(Method method)
      Returns whether the given method is logically a base class method. This also includes methods (re)declared in the repository interface that match the signatures of the base implementation.
      Parameters:
      method - must not be null.
      Returns:

    • isCustomMethod

      boolean isCustomMethod(Method method)
      Returns whether the given method is a custom repository method.
      Parameters:
      method -
      Returns:

    • isQueryMethod

      boolean isQueryMethod(Method method)
      Returns whether the given method is a query method.
      Parameters:
      method -
      Returns:

    • getQueryMethods

      List<Method> getQueryMethods()
      Returns all methods considered to be query methods.
      Returns:

    • getRepositoryBaseClass

      Class<?> getRepositoryBaseClass()
      Returns the base class to be used to create the proxy backing instance.
      Returns:

    • getTargetClassMethod

      Method getTargetClassMethod(Method method)
      Returns the target class method that is backing the given method. This can be necessary if a repository interface redeclares a method of the core repository interface (e.g. for transaction behavior customization). Returns the method itself if the target class does not implement the given method. Implementations need to make sure the Method returned can be invoked via reflection, i.e. needs to be accessible.
      Parameters:
      method - must not be null.
      Returns:

    • hasCustomMethod

      default boolean hasCustomMethod()
      Returns if the configured repository interface has custom methods, that might have to be delegated to a custom implementation. This is used to verify repository configuration.
      Returns:

    • hasQueryMethods

      default boolean hasQueryMethods()
      Returns whether the configured repository interface has query methods at all.
      Returns:

    • getRepositoryComposition

      RepositoryComposition getRepositoryComposition()
      Returns the RepositoryComposition for this repository. This is used to determine the composition of the repository and its fragments.
      Returns:
      never null.
