Interface PageRequest

public interface PageRequest

A request for a single well-specified page of query results.

A query method of a repository may have a parameter of type PageRequest if its return type indicates that it may return multiple entities, that is, if its return type is an array type, List, Stream, Page, or CursoredPage. The parameter of type PageRequest must occur after the method parameters representing regular parameters of the query itself. For example:

 @OrderBy("age")
 @OrderBy("ssn")
 Person[] findByAgeBetween(int minAge, int maxAge, PageRequest pageRequest);

This method might be called as follows:

 var page = people.findByAgeBetween(35, 59,
                PageRequest.ofSize(100));
 var results = page.content();
 ...
 while (page.hasNext()) {
     page = people.findByAgeBetween(35, 59,
                page.nextPageRequest().withoutTotal());
     results = page.content();
   ...
 }

A repository method may not be declared with:

  • more than one parameter of type PageRequest or Limit,
  • a parameter of type PageRequest and a parameter of type Limit, or
  • a parameter of type PageRequest in combination with the keyword First.

    • size
