How do I avoid having a class and an interface per entity when using JPA with Spring Boot?
I have the following entity (and 10 other):
@Entity
@Table(name = "account")
public class Account {
@Id
@GeneratedValue
private Long id;
@Column(name = "username", nullable = false, unique = true)
private String username;
@Column(name = "password", nullable = false)
private String password;
...
In order to be able to persist this entity, I need to setup an interface per entity:
@Repository
public interface AccountRepository extends JpaRepository<Account, Long> {
}
and then @autowire it:
@Controller
public class AdminController {
@Autowired
AccountRepository accountRepo;
Account account = new Account();
account.setUsername(...);
...
accountRepo.save(account);
If I now have 10 entities, it means that I need to define 10 @Repository interfaces and @autowire each of those 10 interfaces.
How would I embed that save method directly into Account so that I only have to call account.save() and how do I get rid of all those @repository interfaces I have to declare per entity?
