Kotlin JDSL
Kotlin JDSL is DSL for JPA Criteria API without generated metamodel and reflection. It helps you write a JPA query like writing an SQL statement.
Background
There are several libraries in the easy way to use JPA. However, those libraries have to use APT. If you use APT, there is a problem that you have to compile again when the name or type of entity field is changed. So, in order not to use APT, we created this library using the KProperty created by the kotlin compiler.
Quick start
Hibernate
Add Hibernate Kotlin JDSL and Hibernate to dependencies
dependencies {
implementation("com.linecorp.kotlin-jdsl:hibernate-kotlin-jdsl:x.y.z")
implementation("org.hibernate:hibernate-core:x.y.z")
}
Create QueryFactory using EntityManager
val queryFactory: QueryFactory = QueryFactoryImpl(
criteriaQueryCreator = CriteriaQueryCreatorImpl(entityManager),
subqueryCreator = SubqueryCreatorImpl()
)
Query using it
queryFactory.listQuery<Entity> {
select(entity(Book::class))
from(entity(Book::class))
where(column(Book::id).equal(1000))
}
Spring Data

Usage
You can easily write query using Entity associations.
If you want to return the DTO, use the DTO as the return type.
Query
QueryFactory allows you to create JPA queries using DSL just like SQL queries.
val books: List<Book> = queryFactory.listQuery {
select(entity(Book::class))
from(entity(Book::class))
where(column(Book::author).equal("Shakespeare"))
}
If you want to select the DTO, select columns in the order of constructor parameters.
val books: List<Row> = queryFactory.listQuery {
select(column(Book::author), count(column(Book::id)))
from(entity(Book::class))
groupBy(column(Book::author))
}
Expression
Kotlin JDSL supports various expressions.
Aggregation
val max = max(column(Book::price))
val count = count(column(Book::price))
val greatest = greatest(column(Book::createdAt))
Case When
val case = case(
`when`(column(Book::name).like("A%")).then(liternal(1)),
`when`(column(Book::name).like("B%")).then(liternal(2)),
// ...
`else` = literal(999)
)
Subquery
val authorIds = queryFactory.subquery<Long> {
select(column(Book::authorId))
from(entity(Book::class))
// ...
}
val authors: List<Author> = queryFactory.listQuery {
// ...
where(column(Author::id).`in`(authorIds))
}
Predicate
Kotlin JDSL supports various predicates.
val condition = and(
column(Book::author).equal("Shakespeare"),
column(Book::price).lessThanOrEqualTo(100.toBigDecimal()),
column(Book::status).`in`(SALE, OUT_OF_STOCK),
column(Book::createdAt).between(Time.of("2001-01-01"), Time.of("2010-12-31")),
)
Join
val books = queryFactory.listQuery<Book> {
select(entity(Book::class))
from(entity(Book::class))
join(Book::author)
// ...
}
Fetch
val books = queryFactory.listQuery<Book> {
select(entity(Book::class))
from(entity(Book::class))
fetch(Book::author)
// ...
}
If join and fetch are used together for the same entity, only fetch is applied.
val books = queryFactory.listQuery<Book> {
select(entity(Book::class))
from(entity(Book::class))
join(Book::author) // Join is ignored
fetch(Book::author) // Only fetch is applied
// ...
}
Cross Join
val books = queryFactory.listQuery<Book> {
select(entity(Book::class))
from(entity(Book::class))
join(entity(Author::class) on(column(Book::authorId).equal(column(Author::id))))
// ...
}
Alias
There may be models with the two associations of same type. In this case, separate the Entity using alias.
val orders = queryFactory.listQuery<Order> {
select(entity(Order::class))
from(entity(Order::class))
join(entity(Order::class), entity(Address::class, alias = "shippingAddress", on(Order::shippingAddress)))
join(entity(Order::class), entity(Address::class, alias = "receiverAddress", on(Order::receiverAddress)))
// ...
}
How it works
Kotlin's property reference provides KProperty interface. KProperty is created in java file at kotlin compile time. Since KProperty has the name of property, we can use it to write the expression of the Critical API.
If you type the JPA query as below,
queryFactory.listQuery<Book> {
select(entity(Book::class))
from(entity(Book::class))
where(column(Book::name).equal("Hamlet").and(column(Book::author).equal("Shakespeare")))
}
Kotlin compiler creates PropertyReference.
final class ClassKt$books$1 extends PropertyReference1Impl {
public static final KProperty1 INSTANCE = new ClassKt$books$1();
books$1() {
super(Book.class, "name", "getName()Ljava/lang/String;", 0);
}
@Nullable
public Object get(@Nullable Object receiver) {
return ((Book) receiver).getName();
}
}
final class ClassKt$books$2 extends PropertyReference1Impl {
public static final KProperty1 INSTANCE = new ClassKt$books$2();
ClassKt$books$2() {
super(Book.class, "author", "getAuthor()Ljava/lang/String;", 0);
}
@Nullable
public Object get(@Nullable Object receiver) {
return ((Book) receiver).getAuthor();
}
}
