Calling Stored Procedures From Spring Data JPA

Ok Ive struggled on Calling Stored Procedures From Spring Data JPA for a while. My issue is that my SP’s dont return any values, so the normal JPA and Spring Data approaches outlined in my previous posts Spring Data JPA – Custom Repository.

Calling Stored Procedures From Spring Data JPA

Consider the following procedure –

CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE test_pkg AS
PROCEDURE in_only_test (inParam1 IN VARCHAR2);
PROCEDURE in_and_out_test (inParam1 IN VARCHAR2, outParam1 OUT VARCHAR2);
END test_pkg;
/
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY test_pkg AS
PROCEDURE in_only_test(inParam1 IN VARCHAR2) AS
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('in_only_test');
END in_only_test;
PROCEDURE in_and_out_test(inParam1 IN VARCHAR2, outParam1 OUT VARCHAR2) AS
BEGIN
outParam1 := 'Woohoo Im an outparam, and this is my inparam ' || inParam1;
END in_and_out_test;
END test_pkg;

Ensure that you have granted the appropriate permissions to this class – eg –

GRANT EXECUTE ON TEST_PKG TO 'MYDB';

Implementation

@Entity
@Table(name = "MYTABLE")
@NamedStoredProcedureQueries({
@NamedStoredProcedureQuery(name = "in_only_test", procedureName = "test_pkg.in_only_test",
parameters = {
@StoredProcedureParameter(mode = ParameterMode.IN, name = "inParam1", type = String.class)
}
),
@NamedStoredProcedureQuery(name = "in_and_out_test", procedureName = "test_pkg.in_and_out_test",
parameters = {
@StoredProcedureParameter(mode = ParameterMode.IN, name = "inParam1", type = String.class),
@StoredProcedureParameter(mode = ParameterMode.OUT, name = "outParam1", type = String.class)
}
)
})
public class MyTable implements Serializable {
}

The key points are –

  • procedureName – This is the name of the stored procedure on the database
  • name – This is the name of the StoredProcedure in the JPA ecosystem
  • We then define the IN/OUT parameters

We then create the Spring Data JPA repository –

public interface MyTableRepository extends CrudRepository<MyTable, Long> {
@Procedure(name = "in_only_test")
void inOnlyTest(@Param("inParam1") String inParam1);
@Procedure(name = "in_and_out_test")
String inAndOutTest(@Param("inParam1") String inParam1);
}

The key points –

  • @Procedure – the name parameter must match the name on @NamedStoredProcedureQuery
  • @Param – Must match @StoredProcedureParameter name parameter

We can then call them –

// This version shows how a param can go in an be returned from a stored procedure
String inParam = "Hi Im an inputParam";
String outParam = myTableRepository.inAndOutTest(inParam);
Assert.assertEquals(outParam, "Woohoo Im an outparam, and this is my inparam Hi Im an inputParam");
// This version shows how to call a Stored Procedure which doesnt return any parameter -
myTableRepository.inOnlyTest(inParam);

Other Tricks

Ive occasionally struggled with the above approach, and resorted to accessing the stored procedure as a native query through a custom repository.

This is done by defining a custom repository –

public interface MyTableRepositoryCustom {
void inOnlyTest(String inParam1);
}

We then make sure our main repository extends this interface –

public interface MyTableRepository extends CrudRepository<MyTable, Long>, MyTableRepositoryCustom {
}

We then define our custom repository –

public class MyTableRepositoryImpl implements MyTableRepositoryCustom {
@PersistenceContext
private EntityManager em;
@Override
public void inOnlyTest(String inParam1) {
this.em.createNativeQuery("BEGIN in_only_test(:inParam1); END;")
.setParameter("inParam1", inParam1)
.executeUpdate();
}
}

This can then be called in the normal way –

@Autowired
MyTableRepository myTableRepository;
// And to call the method -
myTableRepository.inOnlyTest(inParam1);

Conclusions

Calling Stored Procedures From Spring Data JPA can be delivered using custom Spring Repositories.
