Distinct results from Spring Data JPA Specification that uses join

Distinct results from Spring Data JPA Specification that uses join

To retrieve distinct results from a Spring Data JPA Specification that involves a join operation, you can use the distinct keyword in your JPQL (Java Persistence Query Language) query within the Specification. Here's how you can do it:

Let's assume you have two entities, Order and Customer, and you want to retrieve distinct customer names who have placed orders. You can create a Specification that performs a join between the two entities and selects distinct customer names:

import org.springframework.data.jpa.domain.Specification; import javax.persistence.criteria.*; public class OrderSpecifications { public static Specification<Customer> distinctCustomerNames() { return (root, query, criteriaBuilder) -> { query.distinct(true); // Set the distinct flag to true Join<Customer, Order> orderJoin = root.join("orders", JoinType.INNER); // Select the customer name Path<String> customerName = root.get("name"); return criteriaBuilder.createQuery(Customer.class) .select(customerName) .where(criteriaBuilder.isNotNull(orderJoin.get("id"))); // You can add additional conditions if needed }; } }

In this example:

  1. We create a Specification called distinctCustomerNames.

  2. We set query.distinct(true) to indicate that we want distinct results.

  3. We perform an inner join between Customer and Order entities using root.join("orders", JoinType.INNER).

  4. We select the customer name using root.get("name").

  5. We can add additional conditions to filter the results further if needed.

Now, you can use this Specification when executing queries with Spring Data JPA repositories or the JpaSpecificationExecutor interface:

import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository; import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaSpecificationExecutor; public interface CustomerRepository extends JpaRepository<Customer, Long>, JpaSpecificationExecutor<Customer> { }

Finally, you can use the distinctCustomerNames Specification when querying the CustomerRepository:

List<String> distinctCustomerNames = customerRepository.findAll(OrderSpecifications.distinctCustomerNames());

This will give you a list of distinct customer names who have placed orders. Adjust the entity and attribute names in the Specification according to your data model.
