Is there any good generic JPA DAO implemenation?

dao, java, jpa

Solution

You could take a look into the Spring Data JPA.

A few new concepts were introduced into Spring Data JPA, for instance the Query creation based on the method name, so you can declare a method like `findById(String id)` and the "generic" implementation will interpret the method's name and execute something like `select Entity from Entity where id = 'given string'`

Methods like `findByNameAndLastName(String name, String lastName)` or even `findByNameOrInternalId(String name, int internalId)` are supported too.

Problem

According this article, generic JPA DAO(Data Access Object) is a pretty nice pattern. Is there any good implementation?
