    What Is @repeatable and Why Should You Like It?

    Uploaded by

    Hibernate 5.2 introduced the ability to define annotations as repeatable. This allows certain Hibernate annotations like @NamedQuery to be applied multiple times directly to an entity class without needing a wrapper annotation. The document lists the Hibernate annotations that can now be used repeatedly, and provides an example of defining multiple @NamedQuery annotations directly on an entity class rather than within a @NamedQueries container.

    @Repeatable annotations in Hibernate 5.

    2
    What is @Repeatable and why should you like it?
    Sometimes, you want to apply the same annotation multiple times.
    Before Java 8, the only way to do that was to use an additional
    annotation and provide an array of the annotations you want to apply
    as a value.
    With Java 8, you can define an annotation as repeatable and apply it
    multiple times without any wrapper annotations.

    Which Hibernate annotations are repeatable?


    Annotation JavaDoc
    AnyMetaDef Used to provide metadata about
    an Any or ManyToAny mapping.
    ColumnTransformer Custom SQL expression used to
    read the value from and write a
    value to a column. Use for direct
    object loading/saving as well as
    queries. The write expression
    must contain exactly one ‘?’
    placeholder for the value. For
    example:
    read=”decrypt(credit_card_num)”
    write=”encrypt(?)”
    FetchProfile Define the fetching strategy
    profile.
    Filter Add filters to an entity or a target
    entity of a collection.
    FilterDef Filter definition. Defines a name,
    default condition and parameter
    types (if any).
    FilterJoinTable Add filters to a join table
    collection.
    GenericGenerator Generator annotation describing
    any kind of Hibernate generator
    in a generic (de-typed) manner.

    Annotation JavaDoc
    JoinColumnOrFormula Allows joins based on column or a
    formula. One of formula() or
    column() should be specified, but
    not both.
    NamedNativeQuery Extends NamedNativeQuery with
    Hibernate features.
    Table Complementary information to a
    table either primary or secondary.
    Tuplizer Define a tuplizer for an entity or a
    component.
    TypeDef A type definition. Much like Type,
    but here we can centralize the
    definition under a name and refer
    to that name elsewhere. The
    plural form is TypeDefs.

    How to use @Repeatable annotations


    With JPA and Hibernate versions before 5.2, you were not able to
    annotate an entity with multiple of the same annotations. If there
    was the need to do that, e.g. when you wanted to define multiple
    @NamedQuery for an entity, you had to provide them as the value to
    a @NamedQueries annotation.

    @Entity
    @NamedQueries({
    @NamedQuery(name = “Book.findByTitle”, query = “SELECT b
    FROM Book b WHERE b.title = :title”),
    @NamedQuery(name = “Book.findByPublishingDate”, query =
    “SELECT b FROM Book b WHERE b.publishingDate =
    :publishingDate”)
    })
    public class Book implements Serializable {
    …
    }

    That’s no longer required, if you use Hibernate’s version of the
    @NamedQuery annotation or of any other annotation listed in the
    previous section. As you can see in the following code snippet, you
    can now add multiple org.hibernate.annotations.NamedQuery
    annotations directly to the entity.

    @Entity
    @NamedQuery(name = “Hibernate5Book.findByTitle”, query =
    “SELECT b FROM Hibernate5Book b WHERE b.title = :title”)
    @NamedQuery(name = “Hibernate5Book.findByPublishingDate”,
    query = “SELECT b FROM Hibernate5Book b WHERE
    b.publishingDate = :publishingDate”)
    public class Hibernate5Book implements Serializable {
    …
    }
