Description
Hello, I've been working on getting Spring Data MongoDB to work with QueryDSL for a while.
I just wanted to share my findings and see if it makes sense to update the documentation page.
-
There is no
jakarta
classifier forquerydsl-mongodb
(at least not in any of the versions found here), so trying to fetch the dependency with thejakarta
classifier fails. And this makes sense because thejakarta
classifier makes sense mostly in the context of JPA related libraries. -
Generating Q classes
QueryDSL does not support any Spring data annotations like@Document
so by default Q-class is not generated. I think this part of the document is trying to solve this issuebut unfortunately if the project uses other QueryDSL annotation processors, those processors also have to be manually added to this list as well (I may be wrong. This is my speculation. Apologies, I am new to Java build systems). For example, for my project, I was using QueryDSL JPA as well, and when I added the above lines to my
build.gradle
Q-classes for my JPA entities were not generated.I ended up using
com.querydsl.core.annotations.QueryEntity
annotation on my document entity class that is processed by the annotation processor provided byquerydsl-apt
withgeneral
classifier (ex.'com.querydsl:querydsl-apt:5.0.0:general'
).After that I was able to use methods from
QuerydslPredicateExecutor
with the generated Q-class.
Frankly, I am not sure what would be a clear solution for number 2. Since my case is a bit specific and the solution is a workaround to the actual issue which is being able generate Q-class with Spring Data MonogDB annotations.
But at least I wanted to point out number 1 and share the findings I had for number 2 to see if the documentation can be improved.
