Parameter in like clause JPQL

There is nice like() method in JPA criteria API. Try to use that, hope it will help.

CriteriaBuilder cb = em.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery criteriaQuery = cb.createQuery(Employees.class);
Root<Employees> rootOfQuery = criteriaQuery.from(Employees.class);
criteriaQuery.select(rootOfQuery).where(cb.like(rootOfQuery.get("firstName"), "H%"));

1. Use below JPQL query.

select i from Instructor i where i.address LIKE CONCAT('%',:address ,'%')");

2. Use below Criteria code for the same:

@Test
public void findAllHavingAddressLike() {
    CriteriaBuilder cb = criteriaUtils.criteriaBuilder();
    CriteriaQuery<Instructor> cq = cb.createQuery(Instructor.class);
    Root<Instructor> root = cq.from(Instructor.class);
    printResultList(cq.select(root).where(
        cb.like(root.get(Instructor_.address), "%#1074%")));
}

Use JpaRepository or CrudRepository as repository interface:

@Repository
public interface CustomerRepository extends JpaRepository<Customer, Integer> {

    @Query("SELECT t from Customer t where LOWER(t.name) LIKE %:name%")
    public List<Customer> findByName(@Param("name") String name);

}


@Service(value="customerService")
public class CustomerServiceImpl implements CustomerService {

    private CustomerRepository customerRepository;
    
    //...

    @Override
    public List<Customer> pattern(String text) throws Exception {
        return customerRepository.findByName(text.toLowerCase());
    }
}
