这个问题几乎说明了一切。使用JPARepository我如何更新一个实体?
JPARepository只有一个save方法,它并没有告诉我它是创建还是更新。例如,我插入一个简单的对象到数据库User,它有三个字段:姓,名和年龄:
@Entity
public class User {
private String firstname;
private String lastname;
//Setters and getters for age omitted, but they are the same as with firstname and lastname.
private int age;
@Column
public String getFirstname() {
return firstname;
}
public void setFirstname(String firstname) {
this.firstname = firstname;
}
@Column
public String getLastname() {
return lastname;
}
public void setLastname(String lastname) {
this.lastname = lastname;
}
private long userId;
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
public long getUserId(){
return this.userId;
}
public void setUserId(long userId){
this.userId = userId;
}
}
然后我简单地调用save(),这在这一点上实际上是插入到数据库:
User user1 = new User();
user1.setFirstname("john"); user1.setLastname("dew");
user1.setAge(16);
userService.saveUser(user1);// This call is actually using the JPARepository: userRepository.save(user);
到目前为止一切顺利。现在我要更新这个用户,比如改变他的年龄。为此,我可以使用QueryDSL或NamedQuery之类的查询。但是,考虑到我只想使用spring-data-jpa和JPARepository,我如何告诉它我想做更新而不是插入呢?
具体来说,我如何告诉spring-data-jpa具有相同用户名和名字的用户实际上是EQUAL,并且现有实体应该被更新?重写等号并不能解决这个问题。
