-== Overview
-The Data module provides capabilities for implementing repository patterns and thereby simplifying the repository layer. Repository patterns are ideal for simple queries that require boilerplate code, enabling centralization of query logic and consequently reducing code duplication and improving testability.
-
-The code sample below gives you a quick overview on the common usage
-scenarios of the data module:
-
-[source,java]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-@Repository
-public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
-{
-
-    List<Person> findByAgeBetweenAndGender(int minAge, int maxAge, Gender gender);
-
-    @Query("select p from Person p where p.ssn = ?1")
-    Person findBySSN(String ssn);
-
-    @Query(named=Person.BY_FULL_NAME)
-    Person findByFullName(String firstName, String lastName);
-
-}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-As you see in the sample, there are several usage scenarios outlined
-here:
-
-* Declare a method which executes a query by simply translating its name
-and parameters into a query.
-* Declare a method which automatically executes a given JPQL query
-string with parameters.
-* Declare a method which automatically executes a named query with
-parameters.
-
-The implementation of the method is done automatically by the CDI
-extension. A client can declare a dependency to the interface only. The
-details on how to use those features are outlined in the following
-chapters.
-
-== Project Setup
-
-The configuration information provided here is for Maven-based projects and it assumes that you have already declared the DeltaSpike version and DeltaSpike Core module for your projects, as detailed in <<configure#, Configure DeltaSpike in Your Projects>>. For Maven-independent projects, see <<configure#config-maven-indep,Configure DeltaSpike in Maven-independent Projects>>.
-
-=== 1. Declare Data Module Dependencies
-
-Add the Data module to the list of dependencies in the project `pom.xml` file using this code snippet:
-
-[source,xml]
-----
-<dependency>
-    <groupId>org.apache.deltaspike.modules</groupId>
-    <artifactId>deltaspike-data-module-api</artifactId>
-    <version>${deltaspike.version}</version>
-    <scope>compile</scope>
-</dependency>
-
-<dependency>
-    <groupId>org.apache.deltaspike.modules</groupId>
-    <artifactId>deltaspike-data-module-impl</artifactId>
-    <version>${deltaspike.version}</version>
-    <scope>runtime</scope>
-</dependency>
-----
-
-Or if you're using Gradle, add these dependencies to your `build.gradle`:
-
-[source]
-----
-     runtime 'org.apache.deltaspike.modules:deltaspike-data-module-impl'
-     compile 'org.apache.deltaspike.modules:deltaspike-data-module-api'
-----
-
-=== 2. Complete Additional Java Environment Configuration
-
-The Data module requires a JPA implementation to be available in the Java environment where your projects are deployed.
-
-The simplest way using the DeltaSpike Data module is to run your
-application in a Java EE container supporting at least the Java EE6 Web
-Profile. Other configurations like running it inside Tomcat or even a
-Java SE application should be possible - you need to include a JPA
-provider as well as a CDI container to your application manually.
-
-As of DeltaSpike v1.4.0, the Data module internally leverages the Proxy module, which wraps ASM 5.  No external
-dependencies required, and now we have full support for interceptors on partial beans.
-
-=== 3. Complete Additional Project Configuration
-
-DeltaSpike Data requires an `EntityManager` exposed via a CDI producer -
-which is common practice in Java EE6 applications.
-
-[source,java]
-------------------------------------------------------
-public class EntityManagerProducer
-{
-    @PersistenceUnit
-    private EntityManagerFactory emf;
-
-    @Produces // you can also make this @RequestScoped
-    public EntityManager create()
-    {
-        return emf.createEntityManager();
-    }
-
-    public void close(@Disposes EntityManager em)
-    {
-        if (em.isOpen())
-        {
-            em.close();
-        }
-    }
-}
-------------------------------------------------------
-
-This allows the `EntityManager` to be injected over CDI instead of only
-being used with a `@PersistenceContext` annotation. Using multiple
-`EntityManager` is explored in more detail in a following section.
-
-If you use a JTA DataSource with your `EntityManager`, you also have to
-configure the `TransactionStrategy` your repositories use. Adapt your
-`beans.xml` for this:
-
-[source,xml]
-----
-<beans>
-    <alternatives>
-        <class>org.apache.deltaspike.jpa.impl.transaction.BeanManagedUserTransactionStrategy</class>
-    </alternatives>
-</beans>
-----
-
-IMPORTANT: Using the DeltaSpike Data module in an EAR deployment is currently restricted to
-annotation-based entities.
-
-== Core Concepts
-
-=== Repositories
-
-With the DeltaSpike Data module, it is possible to make a repository out
-of basically any abstract class or interface (using a concrete class
-will work too, but you will not be able to use most of the CDI extension
-features). All that is required is to mark the type as such with a
-simple annotation:
-
-[source,java]
-----------------------------------------
-@Repository(forEntity = Person.class)
-public abstract class PersonRepository {
-    ...
-}
-
-@Repository(forEntity = Person.class)
-public interface PersonRepository {
-    ...
-}
-----------------------------------------
-
-The `@Repository` annotation tells the extension that this is a
-repository for the `Person` entity. Any method defined on the repository
-will be processed by the framework. The annotation does not require to
-set the entity class (we'll see later why) but if there are just plain
-classes or interfaces this is the only way to tell the framework what
-entity the repository relates to. In order to simplify this, DeltaSpike
-Data provides several base types.
-
-==== The `EntityRepository` Interface
-
-Although mainly intended to hold complex query logic, working with both
-a repository and an `EntityManager` in the service layer might
-unnecessarily clutter code. In order to avoid this for the most common
-cases, DeltaSpike Data provides base types which can be used to replace
-the entity manager.
-
-The top base type is the `EntityRepository` interface, providing common
-methods used with an `EntityManager`. The following code shows the most
-important methods of the interface:
-
-[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-public interface EntityRepository<E, PK extends Serializable>
-{
-
-    E save(E entity);
-
-    void remove(E entity);
-
-    void refresh(E entity);
-
-    void flush();
-
-    E findBy(PK primaryKey);
-
-    List<E> findAll();
-
-    List<E> findBy(E example, SingularAttribute<E, ?>... attributes);
-
-    List<E> findByLike(E example, SingularAttribute<E, ?>... attributes);
-
-    Long count();
-
-    Long count(E example, SingularAttribute<E, ?>... attributes);
-
-    Long countLike(E example, SingularAttribute<E, ?>... attributes);
-
-}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-The concrete repository can then extend this basic interface. For our
-Person repository, this might look like the following:
-
-[source,java]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-@Repository
-public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
-{
-
-    Person findBySsn(String ssn);
-
-}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-TIP: Annotations on interfaces do not inherit. If the `EntityRepository`
-interface is extended by another interface adding some more common
-methods, it is not possible to simply add the annotation there. It needs
-to go on each concrete repository. The same is not true if a base class
-is introduced, as we see in the next chapter.
-
-===== The AbstractEntityRepository Class
-
-This class is an implementation of the `EntityRepository` interface and
-provides additional functionality when custom query logic needs also to
-be implemented in the repository.
-
-[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-public abstract class PersonRepository extends AbstractEntityRepository<Person, Long>
-{
-
-    public List<Person> findBySSN(String ssn)
-    {
-        return typedQuery("select p from Person p where p.ssn = ?1")
-                .setParameter(1, ssn)
-                .getResultList();
-    }
-
-}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-=== Deactivating Repositories
-
-Repositories can be deactivated creating a <<spi.adoc#_classdeactivator,ClassDeactivator>>.
-
-The `EntityRepository` interface implements the <<core.adoc#_deactivatable,Deactivatable>> interface allowing it to be used in the ClassDeactivator.
-
-If your repository does not implement `EntityRepository` and you want to deactivate it, you will need to implement the <<core.adoc#_deactivatable,Deactivatable>>  interface yourself.
-
-[source,java]
-----------------------------------------
-@Repository(forEntity = Person.class)
-public abstract class PersonRepository implements Deactivatable {
-    ...
-}
-
-@Repository(forEntity = Person.class)
-public interface PersonRepository extends Deactivatable {
-    ...
-}
-----------------------------------------
-
-=== Support of @TransactionScoped EntityManagers
-
-For using `@TransactionScoped` beans like a `@TransactionScoped`-`EntityManager`,
-you need to annotate the Data-repository with @Transactional explicitly or one of the beans in the call-hierarchy.
-That's needed, because the context bound to `@TransactionScoped` needs to be active,
-before the `@TransactionScoped`-`EntityManager` gets resolved (internally).
-
-The following examples illustrate the described usages:
-
-.@TransactionScoped EntityManager combined with a simple repository
-[source,java]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-public class EntityManagerProducer
-{
-    @Produces
-    @TransactionScoped
-    public EntityManager create() { ... }
-
-    public void close(@Disposes EntityManager em)  { ... }
-}
-
-@ApplicationScoped
-public class MyService
-{
-    @Inject
-    private MyRepository myRepository;
-
-    public void create()
-    {
-        //...
-        this.myRepository.save(...); //executed in a transaction
-        //...
-    }
-}
-
-@Transactional
-@Repository
-public interface MyRepository extends EntityRepository<MyEntity, String>
-{
-  //...
-}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-.@TransactionScoped EntityManager combined with a simple repository called by a transactional bean
-[source,java]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-public class EntityManagerProducer
-{
-    @Produces
-    @TransactionScoped
-    public EntityManager create() { ... }
-
-    public void close(@Disposes EntityManager em)  { ... }
-}
-
-@Transactional
-@ApplicationScoped
-public class MyService
-{
-    @Inject
-    private MyRepository myRepository;
-
-    public void create() //executed in a transaction
-    {
-        //...
-        this.myRepository.save(...);
-        //...
-    }
-}
-
-@Repository
-public interface MyRepository extends EntityRepository<MyEntity, String>
-{
-  //...
-}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-=== Using Multiple EntityManagers
-
-While most applications will run just fine with a single
-`EntityManager`, there might be setups where multiple data sources are
-used. This can be configured with the `EntityManagerConfig` annotation:
-
-[source,java]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-@Repository
-@EntityManagerConfig(entityManagerResolver = CrmEntityManagerResolver.class, flushMode = FlushModeType.COMMIT)
-public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
-{
-    ...
-}
-
-public class CrmEntityManagerResolver implements EntityManagerResolver
-{
-    @Inject @CustomerData // Qualifier - assumes a producer is around...
-    private EntityManager em;
-
-    @Override
-    public EntityManager resolveEntityManager()
-    {
-        return em;
-    }
-}
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Again, note that annotations on interfaces do not inherit, so it is not
-possible to create something like a base `CrmRepository` interface with
-the `@EntityManagerConfig` and then extending / implementing this
-interface.
-
-=== Other EntityManager Methods
-
-While the `EntityRepository` methods should cover most interactions
-normally done with an `EntityManager`, for some specific cases it might
-still be useful to have one or the other method available. For this
-case, it is possible to extend / implement the `EntityManagerDelegate`
-interface for repositories, which offers most other methods available in
-a JPA 2.0 `EntityManager`:
-
-[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-@Repository
-public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>, EntityManagerDelegate<Person>
-{
-    ...
-}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Alternatively, you can extend the `FullEntityRepository` interface which is a short-hand for extending
-all of `EntityRepository`, `EntityManagerDelegate` and `CriteriaSupport`.
-
-[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-@Repository
-public interface PersonRepository extends FullEntityRepository<Person, Long>
-{
-    ...
-}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-For abstract classes, there is a convenience base class `AbstractFullEntityRepository` which also
-implements `EntityManagerDelegate` and `CriteriaSupport` and thus exposes most `EntityManager` methods:
-
-[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-@Repository
-public abstract PersonRepository extends AbstractFullEntityRepository<Person, Long>
-{
-    ...
-}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-== Query Method Expressions
-
-Good naming is a difficult aspects in software engineering. A good
-method name usually makes comments unnecessary and states exactly what
-the method does. And with method expressions, the method name is
-actually the implementation!
-
-=== Using Method Expressions
-
-Let's start by looking at a (simplified for readability) example:
-
-[source,java]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-@Entity
-public class Person
-{
-
-    @Id @GeneratedValue
-    private Long id;
-    private String name;
-    private Integer age;
-    private Gender gender;
-
-}
-
-@Repository
-public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
-{
-
-    List<Person> findByNameLikeAndAgeBetweenAndGender(String name,
-                              int minAge, int maxAge, Gender gender);
-
-    long countByName(String name);
-
-    void removeByName(String name);
-}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Looking at the method name, this can easily be read as query all Persons
-which have a name like the given name parameter, their age is between a
-min and a max age and having a specific gender. The DeltaSpike Data
-module can translate method names following a given format and directly
-generate the query implementation out of it (in EBNF-like form):
-
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-(Entity|Optional<Entity>|List<Entity>|Stream<Entity>) (prefix)(Property[Comparator]){Operator Property [Comparator]}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Or in more concrete words:
-
-* The query method must return an entity, an `Optional` of an entity, a list of entities or a stream of entities.
-* It must start with the `findBy` prefix (or related `findOptionalBy`, `findAnyBy`, `findAll`, `findFirst` or `findTop`).
-* Followed by a property of the Repository entity and an optional comparator (we'll define this later). The property will be used in the query together with the comparator. Note that the number of arguments passed to the method depend on the comparator.
-* You can add more blocks of property-comparator which have to be concatenated by a boolean operator. This is either an `And` or `Or`.
-
-You can also use the same way for delete an entity:
-* It must start with the `removeBy` keyword (or related `deleteBy`).
-
-or for counting:
-* It must start with the `countBy` keyword.
-* It must return a int or long.
-
-Other assumptions taken by the expression evaluator:
-
-* The property name starts lower cased while the property in the expression has an upper cases first character.
-
-Following comparators are currently supported to be used in method
-expressions:
-
-[options="header, autowidth"]
-|===
-| Name              |# of Arguments     |Description
-| Equal             |1 | Property must be equal to argument value. If the operator is omitted in the expression, this is assumed as default.
-| NotEqual          |1 | Property must be not equal to argument value.
-| Like              |1 | Property must be like the argument value. Use the %-wildcard in the argument.
-| GreaterThan       |1 | Property must be greater than argument value.
-| GreaterThanEquals |1 | Property must be greater than or equal to argument value.
-| LessThan          |1 | Property must be less than argument value.
-| LessThanEquals    |1 | Property must be less than or equal to argument value.
-| Between           |2 | Property must be between the two argument values.
-| IsNull            |0 | Property must be null.
-| IsNotNull         |0 | Property must be non-null.
-|===
-
-Note that DeltaSpike will validate those expressions during startup, so
-you will notice early in case you have a typo in those expressions.
-
-Also note that as of 1.7, the Entity type returned can either by the
-entity defined in this repository, or any other entity in your persistence
-unit, or any primitive type supported by your JPA implementation.
-
-=== Query Ordering
-
-Beside comparators it is also possible to sort queries by using the
-`OrderBy` keyword, followed by the attribute name and the direction
-(`Asc` or `Desc`).
-
-[source,java]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-@Repository
-public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
-{
-
-    List<Person> findByLastNameLikeOrderByAgeAscLastNameDesc(String lastName);
-
-}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-=== Query Limits
-
-Starting with Apache DeltaSpike 1.6.2, you can apply query limits using method
-expressions.  They can be applied using `findFirst` or `findTop` prefixes in a
-method like this:
-
-[source,java]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-@Repository
-public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
-{
-
-    List<Person> findFirst2ByLastNameOrderByAgeAscLastNameDesc(String lastName);
-
-    List<Person> findTop2ByLastNameOrderByAgeAscLastNameDesc(String lastName);
-
-}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-The number following the prefix indicates how many to limit by, when setting
-the `maxResults` attribute of the underlying query.  You can pair this with
-a `@FirstResult` parameter to give consistent paging.
-
-Query Limits can be applied even when there is no where clause defined by your
-query.
-
-[source,java]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-@Repository
-public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
-{
-
-    List<Person> findAllOrderByAgeAsc();
-
-    List<Person> findTop20OrderByLastNameDesc();
-
-}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-The first query finding all entries ordered by age, and the second only 20
-ordered by last name.
-
-=== Nested Properties
-
-To create a comparison on a nested property, the traversal parts can be
-separated by a `_`:
-
-[source,java]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-@Repository
-public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
-{
-
-    List<Person> findByCompany_companyName(String companyName);
-
-}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-=== Query Options
-
-
-DeltaSpike supports query options on method expressions. If you want to
-page a query, you can change the first result as well as the maximum
-number of results returned:
-
-[source,java]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-@Repository
-public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
-{
-
-    List<Person> findByNameLike(String name, @FirstResult int start, @MaxResults int pageSize);
-
-}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-=== Method Prefix
-
-In case the `findBy` prefix does not comply with your team conventions,
-this can be adapted:
-
-[source,java]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-@Repository(methodPrefix = "fetchWith")
-public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
-{
-
-    List<Person> fetchWithNameLike(String name, @FirstResult int start, @MaxResults int pageSize);
-
-}
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-== Query Annotations
-
-While method expressions are fine for simple queries, they will often
-reach their limit once things get slightly more complex. Another aspect
-is the way you want to use JPA: The recommended approach using JPA for
-best performance is over named queries. To help incorporate those use
-cases, the DeltaSpike Data module supports also annotating methods for
-more control on the generated query.
-
-
-=== Using Query Annotations
-
-The simplest way to define a specific query is by annotating a method and
-providing the JPQL query string which has to be executed. In code, this
-looks like the following sample:
-
-[source,java]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
-{
-
-    @Query("select count(p) from Person p where p.age > ?1")
-    Long countAllOlderThan(int minAge);
-
-}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-The parameter binding in the query corresponds to the argument index in
-the method.
-
-You can also refer to a named query which is constructed and executed
-automatically. The `@Query` annotation has a named attribute which
-corresponds to the query name:
-
-[source,java]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-@Entity
-@NamedQueries({
-    @NamedQuery(name = Person.BY_MIN_AGE,
-                query = "select count(p) from Person p where p.age > ?1 order by p.age asc")
-})
-public class Person
-{
-
-    public static final String BY_MIN_AGE = "person.byMinAge";
-    ...
-
-}
-
-@Repository
-public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
-{
-
-    @Query(named = Person.BY_MIN_AGE)
-    Long countAllOlderThan(int minAge);
-
-}
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Same as before, the parameter binding corresponds to the argument index
-in the method. If the named query requires named parameters to be used,
-this can be done by annotating the arguments with the `@QueryParam`
-annotation.
-
-TIP: Java does not preserve method parameter names (yet), that's why the
-annotation is needed.
-
-[source,java]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-@NamedQuery(name = Person.BY_MIN_AGE,
-            query = "select count(p) from Person p where p.age > :minAge order by p.age asc")
-
-...
-
-@Repository
-public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
-{
-
-    @Query(named = Person.BY_MIN_AGE)
-    Long countAllOlderThan(@QueryParam("minAge") int minAge);
-
-}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-It is also possible to set a native SQL query in the annotation. The
-`@Query` annotation has a native attribute which flags that the query is
-not JPQL but plain SQL:
-
-[source,java]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-@Entity
-@Table(name = "PERSON_TABLE")
-public class Person
-{
-    ...
-}
-
-@Repository
-public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
-{
-
-    @Query(value = "SELECT * FROM PERSON_TABLE p WHERE p.AGE > ?1", isNative = true)
-    List<Person> findAllOlderThan(int minAge);
-
-}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-=== Annotation Options
-
-Beside providing a query string or reference, the `@Query` annotation
-provides also two more attributes:
-
-[source,java]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-@Repository
-public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
-{
-
-    @Query(named = Person.BY_MIN_AGE, max = 10, lock = LockModeType.PESSIMISTIC_WRITE)
-    List<Person> findAllForUpdate(int minAge);
-
-}
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-[options="header, autowidth"]
-|===
-| Name | Description
-| max  | Limits the number of results.
-| lock | Use a specific LockModeType to execute the query.
-|===
-
-Note that these options can also be applied to method expressions.
-
-=== Query Options
-
-All the query options you have seen so far are more or less static. But
-sometimes you might want to apply certain query options dynamically. For
-example, sorting criteria could come from a user selection so they
-cannot be known beforehand. DeltaSpike allows you to apply query options
-at runtime by using the `QueryResult` result type:
-
-[source,java]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-@Repository
-public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
-{
-
-    @Query("select p from Person p where p.age between ?1 and ?2")
-    QueryResult<Person> findAllByAge(int minAge, int maxAge);
-
-}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Once you have obtained a `QueryResult`, you can apply further options to
-the query:
-
-[source,java]
------------------------------------------------------------
-List<Person> result = personRepository.findAllByAge(18, 65)
-    .orderAsc("p.lastName", false)
-    .orderDesc("p.age", false)
-    .lockMode(LockModeType.WRITE)
-    .hint("org.hibernate.timeout", Integer.valueOf(10))
-    .getResultList();
------------------------------------------------------------
-
-IMPORTANT: Note that sorting is only applicable to method expressions or non-named
-queries. For named queries it might be possible, but is currently only
-supported for Hibernate, EclipseLink and OpenJPA.
-
-Note that the `QueryResult` return type can also be used with method
-expressions.
-
-IMPORTANT: `QueryResult` is based on our internal understanding of your query.
-DeltaSpike expects the alias used in your queries to refer to the entity as `e`
-You can disable this behavior by passing in false with your attribute, `.orderDesc("p.age", false)`
-which would add descending ordering to your existing query `select p from Person p`
-
-=== Pagination
-
-We introduced the `QueryResult` type in the last chapter, which can also
-be used for pagination:
-
-[source,java]
------------------------------------------------------------
-// Query API style
-QueryResult<Person> paged = personRepository.findByAge(age)
-    .maxResults(10)
-    .firstResult(50);
-
-// or paging style
-QueryResult<Person> paged = personRepository.findByAge(age)
-    .withPageSize(10) // equivalent to maxResults
-    .toPage(5);
-
-int totalPages = paged.countPages();
------------------------------------------------------------
-
-=== Bulk Operations
-
-While reading entities and updating them one by one might be fine for
-many use cases, applying bulk updates or deletes is also a common usage
-scenario for repositories. DeltaSpike supports this with a special
-marking annotation `@Modifying`:
-
-[source,java]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-@Repository
-public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
-{
-
-    @Modifying
-    @Query("update Person as p set p.classifier = ?1 where p.classifier = ?2")
-    int updateClassifier(Classifier current, Classifier next);
-
-}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Bulk operation query methods can either return void or int, which counts
-the number of entities affected by the bulk operation.
-
-=== Optional Query Results
-
-The JPA spec requires to throw exceptions in case the
-`getSingleResult()` method does either return no or more than one
-result. This can result in tedious handling with try-catch blocks or
-have potential impact on your transaction (as the `RuntimeException`
-might roll it back).
-
-DeltaSpike Data gives the option to change this to the way it makes most
-sense for the current usecase. While the default behavior is still fully
-aligned with JPA, it is also possible to request optional query results.
-
-=== Zero or One Result
-
-With this option, the query returns `null` instead of throwing a
-`NoResultException` when there is no result returned. It is usable with
-method expressions, `Query` annotations and `QueryResult<E>` calls.
-
-[source,java]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-@Repository(forEntity = Person.class)
-public interface PersonRepository
-{
-
-    Person findOptionalBySsn(String ssn);
-
-    @Query(named = Person.BY_NAME, singleResult = SingleResultType.OPTIONAL)
-    Person findByName(String firstName, String lastName);
-
-}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-For method expressions, the `findOptionalBy` prefix can be used. For
-`@Query` annotations, the `singleResult` attribute can be overridden
-with the `SingleResultType.OPTIONAL` enum.
-
-In case the query returns more than one result, a
-`NonUniqueResultException` is still thrown.
-
-=== Any Result
-
-If the caller does not really mind what kind if result is returned, it is
-also possible to request any result from the query. If there is no
-result, same as for optional queries `null` is returned. In case there
-is more than one result, any result is returned, or more concretely the
-first result out of the result list.
-
-[source,java]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-@Repository(forEntity = Person.class)
-public interface PersonRepository
-{
-
-    Person findAnyByLastName(String lastName);
-
-    @Query(named = Person.BY_NAME, singleResult = SingleResultType.ANY)
-    Person findByName(String firstName, String lastName);
-
-}
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-For method expressions, the `findAnyBy` prefix can be used. For `@Query`
-annotations, the `singleResult` attribute can be overridden with the
-`SingleResultType.ANY` enum.
-
-This option will not throw an exception.
-
-=== Java 8 Semantics
-
-Repositories support returning instances of `java.util.Optional` and `java.util.stream.Stream` for any method.
-
-[source,java]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-@Repository(forEntity = Person.class)
-public interface PersonRepository
-{
-
-    Optional<Person> findBySsn(String ssn);
-
-    Stream<Person> findByLocation(String location);
-
-}
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Queries returning `Optional<T>` will behave like `SingleResultType.OPTIONAL`, if the data is present, return the single
-result, otherwise return `Optional.empty()`.  You can override this by using `SingleResultType.ANY` which takes the first
-result of the list, or else `empty()`.
-
-Queries returning `Stream<T>` act as a simple wrapper for `query.getResultList().stream()` to give back the results.
-
-=== Entity Graphs
-
-EntityGraphs are a feature added in JPA 2.1.  The Data module supports entity graphs for query operations, where the results
-will be limited based on a defined graph.  This feature is only available if you are using a JPA 2.1 implementation.
-
-`@EntityGraph` can be used for either `fetch` or `load` operations, depending on the `EntityGraphType` used in the annotation.  Most queries should use the `FETCH` option.
-
-==== Named Graphs
-
-Entity graphs can be selected by name.  A `@NamedEntityGraph` should be defined already within your persistence context to leverage this.  When this graph is referenced on a repository method, it will be applied to the query.
-
-==== Dyanmically built graphs
-
-If you want to dynamically build a graph, you can do that via the `paths` attribute of the annotation.  The paths specified will be added as graph nodes.  Each graph node will be used in the select.  The format is the full path to the property, based on the property names.
-
-== Transactions
-
-If you call any method expression, `@Query`-annotated method or a method
-from the `EntityRepository`, the repository will figure out if a
-transaction is needed or not, and if so, if there is already one
-ongoing. The Data module uses the `TransactionStrategy` provided by the
-http://deltaspike.apache.org/documentation/jpa.html[JPA Module] for this. See the JPA
-module documentation for more details.
-
-IMPORTANT: Some containers do not support `BeanManagedUserTransactionStrategy`! As
-JTA has still some portability issues even in Java EE 7, it might be
-required that you implement your own `TransactionStrategy`. We will
-think about providing an acceptable solution for this.
-
-
-If you need to open a transaction on a concrete repository method, we
-currently recommend creating an extension (see next chapter) which uses
-`@Transactional` and might look like the following sample.
-
-[source,java]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-public class TxExtension<E> implements DelegateQueryHandler, TxRepository // this is your extension interface
-{
-    @Inject
-    private EntityManager em;
-
-    @Override @Transactional
-    public List<E> transactional(ListResultCallback callback)
-    {
-        return callback.execute();
-    }
-
-}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Repositories can then implement the `TxRepository` interface and call
-their queries in the `transactional` method (where the callback
-implementation can be, for example, in an anonymous class).
-
-== Extensions
-
-=== Query Delegates
-
-While several base interfaces are defined for repositories, there might still be
-the odd convenience method that is missing. This is actually intentional
-- things should not get overloaded for each and every use case. That's
-why in DeltaSpike you can define your own reusable methods.
-
-For example, you might want to use the QueryDsl library in your
-repositories:
-
-[source,java]
----------------------------------------------------------
-import com.mysema.query.jpa.impl.JPAQuery;
-
-public interface QueryDslSupport
-{
-    JPAQuery jpaQuery();
-}
-
-@Repository(forEntity = Person.class)
-public interface PersonRepository extends QueryDslSupport
-{
-   ...
-}
----------------------------------------------------------
-
-=== Implementing the Query Delegate
-
-The first step is to define an interface which contains the extra
-methods for your repositories (as shown above):
-
-[source,java]
---------------------------------
-public interface QueryDslSupport
-{
-    JPAQuery jpaQuery();
-}
---------------------------------
-
-As a next step, you need to provide an implementation for this interface
-once. It is also important that this implementation implements the
-`DelegateQueryHandler` interface (do not worry, this is just an empty
-marker interface):
-
-[source,java]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-public class QueryDslRepositoryExtension<E> implements QueryDslSupport, DelegateQueryHandler
-{
-
-    @Inject
-    private QueryInvocationContext context;
-
-    @Override
-    public JPAQuery jpaQuery()
-    {
-        return new JPAQuery(context.getEntityManager());
-    }
-
-}
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-As you see in the sample, you can inject a `QueryInvocationContext`
-which contains utility methods like accessing the current
-`EntityManager` and entity class.
-
-Note that, if you define multiple extensions with equivalent method
-signatures, there is no specific order in which the implementation is
-selected.
-
-== Mapping
-
-While repositories are primarily intended to work with Entities, it
-might be preferable in some cases to have an additional mapping layer on
-top of them, for example because the Entities are quite complex but the service
-layer needs only a limited view on it, or because the Entities are
-exposed over a remote interface and there should not be a 1:1 view on
-the domain model.
-
-DeltaSpike Data allows to directly plugin in such a mapping mechanism
-without the need to specify additional mapping methods:
-
-[source,java]
-----------------------------------------------------
-@Repository(forEntity = Person.class)
-@MappingConfig(PersonDtoMapper.class)
-public interface PersonRepository
-{
-
-    PersonDto findBySsn(String ssn);
-
-    List<PersonDto> findByLastName(String lastName);
-
-}
-----------------------------------------------------
-
-The `PersonDtoMapper` class has to implement the `QueryInOutMapper`
-interface:
-
-[source,java]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-public class PersonDtoMapper implements QueryInOutMapper<Person>
-{
-
-    @Override
-    public Object mapResult(Person result)
-    {
-        ... // converts Person into a PersonDto
-    }
-    ...
-
-    @Override
-    public Object mapResultList(List<Person> result)
-    {
-        ... // result lists can also be mapped into something different
-            // than a collection.
-    }
-
-    @Override
-    public boolean mapsParameter(Object parameter)
-    {
-        return parameter != null && (
-                parameter instanceof PersonDto || parameter instanceof PersonId);
-    }
-
-    @Override
-    public Object mapParameter(Object parameter)
-    {
-        ... // converts query parameters if required
-    }
-}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-The mapper can also be used to transform query parameters. Parameters
-are converted before executing queries and calling repository
-extensions.
-
-Note that those mapper classes are treated as CDI Beans, so it is
-possible to use injection in those beans (e.g. you might inject an
-`EntityManager` or other mappers). As the `@MappingConfig` refers to the
-mapper class directly, the mapper must be uniquely identifiable by its
-class.
-
-It is also possible to combine mappings with the base Repository classes:
-
-[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-@Repository(forEntity = Person.class)
-@MappingConfig(PersonDtoMapper.class)
-public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<PersonDto, PersonId>
-{
-    ...
-}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-In this case, the `forEntity` attribute in the `@Repository` annotation
-is mandatory. Also it is up to the mapper to convert parameters
-correctly (in this example, a conversion from a `PersonDto` parameter to
-`Person` entity and from `PersonId` to `Long` is necessary).
-
-=== Simple Mappings
-
-In many cases it is just required to map a DTO object back and forth. For
-this case, the `SimpleQueryInOutMapperBase` class can be subclassed,
-which only requires to override three methods:
-
-[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-public class PersonMapper extends SimpleQueryInOutMapperBase<Person, PersonDto>
-{
-
-    @Override
-    protected Object getPrimaryKey(PersonDto dto)
-    {
-        return dto.getId();
-    }
-
-    @Override
-    protected PersonDto toDto(Person entity)
-    {
-        ...
-    }
-
-    @Override
-    protected Person toEntity(Person entity, PersonDto dto) {
-        ...
-        return entity;
-    }
-}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-The first method, `getPrimaryKey`, identifies the primary key of an
-incoming DTO (this might need mapping too). If there is a primary key in
-the DTO, Data tries to retrieve the Entity and feed it to the `toEntity`
-method, so the entity to be mapped is **attached to the persistence
-context**. If there is no primary key, a new instance of the Entity is
-created. In any case, there is no need to map the primary key to the
-entity (it either does not exist or is already populated for an existing
-entity).
-
-== JPA Criteria API Support
-
-Besides automatic query generation, the DeltaSpike Data module also
-provides a DSL-like API to create JPA 2 Criteria queries. It takes
-advantage of the JPA 2 meta model, which helps creating type safe
-queries.
-
-TIP: The JPA meta model can easily be generated with an annotation processor.
-Hibernate or EclipseLink provide such a processor, which can be
-integrated into your compile and build cycle.
-
-Note that this criteria API is not intended to replace the standard
-criteria API - it is rather a utility API that should make life easier on
-the most common cases for a custom query. The JPA criteria API's
-strongest point is certainly its type safety - which comes at the cost
-of readability. We're trying to provide a middle way here. A less
-powerful API, but still type safe and readable.
-
-=== API Usage
-
-The API is centered around the Criteria class and is targeted to provide
-a fluent interface to write criteria queries:
-
-[source,java]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-@Repository(forEntity = Person.class)
-public abstract class PersonRepository implements CriteriaSupport<Person>
-{
-
-    public List<Person> findAdultFamilyMembers(String name, Integer minAge)
-    {
-        return criteria()
-                .like(Person_.name, "%" + name + "%")
-                .gtOrEq(Person_.age, minAge)
-                .eq(Person_.validated, Boolean.TRUE)
-                .orderDesc(Person_.age)
-                .getResultList();
-    }
-
-}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Following comparators are supported by the API:
-
-[options="header,autowidth"]
-|===
-| Name                    | Description
-| .eq(..., ...)           | Property value must be equal to the given value
-| .in(..., ..., ..., ...) | Property value must be in one of the given values.
-| .notEq(..., ...)        | Negates equality
-| .like(..., ...)         | A SQL `like` equivalent comparator. Use % on the value.
-| .notLike(..., ...)      | Negates the like value
-| .lt(..., ...)           | Property value must be less than the given value.
-| .ltOrEq(..., ...)       | Property value must be less than or equal to the given value.
-| .gt(..., ...)           | Property value must be greater than the given value.
-| .ltOrEq(..., ...)       | Property value must be greater than or equal to the given value.
-| .between(..., ..., ...) | Property value must be between the two given values.
-| .isNull(...)            | Property must be `null`
-| .isNotNull(...)         | Property must be non-`null`
-| .isEmpty(...)           | Collection property must be empty
-| .isNotEmpty(...)        |Collection property must be non-empty
-|===
-
-The query result can be modified with the following settings:
-
-[options="header,autowidth"]
-|===
-| Name                     | Description
-| .orderAsc(...)           | Sorts the result ascending by the given property. Note that this can be applied to several properties
-| .orderDesc(...)          | Sorts the result descending by the given property. Note that this can be applied to several properties
-| .distinct()              | Sets distinct to true on the query.
-|===
-
-Once all comparators and query options are applied, the `createQuery()`
-method is called. This creates a JPA TypedQuery object for the
-repository entity. If required, further processing can be applied here.
-
-=== Joins
-
-For simple cases, restricting on the repository entity only works out
-fine, but once the Data model gets more complicated, the query will have
-to consider relations to other entities. The module's criteria API
-therefore supports joins as shown in the sample below:
-
-[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-@Repository
-public abstract class PersonRepository extends AbstractEntityRepository<Person, Long>
-{
-
-    public List<Person> findByCompanyName(String companyName)
-    {
-        return criteria()
-                .join(Person_.company,
-                    where(Company.class)
-                        .eq(Company_.name, companyName)
-                )
-                .eq(Person_.validated, Boolean.TRUE)
-                .getResultList();
-    }
-
-}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Beside the inner and outer joins, also fetch joins are supported. Those
-are slighly simpler as seen in the next sample:
-
-[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-public abstract class PersonRepository extends AbstractEntityRepository<Person, Long>
-{
-
-    public Person findBySSN(String ssn)
-    {
-        return criteria()
-                .fetch(Person_.familyMembers)
-                .eq(Person_.ssn, ssn)
-                .distinct()
-                .getSingleResult();
-    }
-
-}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-=== Boolean Operators
-
-By default, all query operators are concatenated as an and conjunction
-to the query. The DeltaSpike criteria API also allows to add groups of
-disjunctions.
-
-[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-public abstract class PersonRepository extends AbstractEntityRepository<Person, Long>
-{
-
-    public List<Person> findAdults()
-    {
-        return criteria()
-                .or(
-                    criteria().
-                        .gtOrEq(Person_.age, 18)
-                        .eq(Person_.origin, Country.SWITZERLAND),
-                    criteria().
-                        .gtOrEq(Person_.age, 21)
-                        .eq(Person_.origin, Country.USA)
-                )
-                .getResultList();
-    }
-
-}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-=== Selections
-
-It might not always be appropriate to retrieve full entities - you might
-also be interested in scalar values or by modified entity attributes.
-The Criteria interface allows this with the selection method:
-
-[source,java]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-public abstract class PersonRepository extends AbstractEntityRepository<Person, Long>
-{
-
-    public Statistics ageStatsFor(Segment segment)
-    {
-        return criteria()
-                 .select(Statistics.class, avg(Person_.age), min(Person_.age), max(Person_.age))
-                 .eq(Person_.segment, segment)
-                 .getSingleResult();
-    }
-
-    public List<Object[]> personViewForFamily(String name)
-    {
-        return criteria()
-                 .select(upper(Person_.name), attribute(Person_.age), substring(Person_.firstname, 1))
-                 .like(Person_.name, name)
-                 .getResultList();
-    }
-
-}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-There are also several functions supported which can be used in the
-selection clause:
-
-[options="header,autowidth"]
-|===
-|Name                              | Description
-| abs(...)                         | Absolute value. Applicable to Number attributes.
-| avg(...)                         | Average value. Applicable to Number attributes.
-| count(...)                       | Count function. Applicable to Number attributes.
-| max(...)                         | Max value. Applicable to Number attributes.
-| min(...)                         | Min value. Applicable to Number attributes.
-| modulo(...)                      | Modulo function. Applicable to Integer attributes.
-| neg(...)                         | Negative value. Applicable to Number attributes.
-| sum(...)                         | Sum function. Applicable to Number attributes.
-| lower(...)                       | String to lowercase. Applicable to String attributes.
-| substring(int from, ...)         | Substring starting from. Applicable to String attributes.
-| substring(int from, int to, ...) | Substring starting from ending to. Applicable to String attributes.
-| upper(...)                       | String to uppercase. Applicable to String attributes.
-| currDate()                       | The DB sysdate. Returns a Date object.
-| currTime()                       | The DB sysdate. Returns a Time object.
-| currTStamp()                     | The DB sysdate. Returns a Timestamp object.
-|===
-
-
-== Auditing
-
-A common requirement for entities is tracking what is being done with
-them. DeltaSpike provides a convenient way to support this requirement.
-
-NOTE: DeltaSpike does not support creating revisions of entities. If this is a
-requirement for your audits, have a look at Hibernate Envers.
-
-=== Activating Auditing
-
-DeltaSpike uses an entity listener to update auditing data before
-entities get created or update. The entity listener must be activated
-before it can be used. This can either be done globally for all entities
-of a persistent unit or per entity.
-
-Activation per persistence unit in `orm.xml`:
-
-[source,xml]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-<entity-mappings xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/orm"
-        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
-        xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/orm http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/orm_2_0.xsd" version="2.0">
-    <persistence-unit-metadata>
-        <persistence-unit-defaults>
-            <entity-listeners>
-                <entity-listener class="org.apache.deltaspike.data.impl.audit.AuditEntityListener" />
-            </entity-listeners>
-        </persistence-unit-defaults>
-    </persistence-unit-metadata>
-</entity-mappings>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Activation per entity:
-
-[source,java]
--------------------------------------------
-@Entity
-@EntityListeners(AuditEntityListener.class)
-public class AuditedEntity
-{
-
-    ...
-
-}
--------------------------------------------
-
-Note that for this variant, you need a compile dependency on the impl
-module. Alternatively, also the per entity listener can be configured by
-XML.
-
-=== Using Auditing Annotations
-
-All that has to be done now is annotating the entity properties which
-are used to audit the entity.
-
-====  Updating Timestamps
-
-To keep track on creation and modification times, following annotations
-can be used:
-
-[source,java]
--------------------------------------
-@Entity
-public class AuditedEntity
-{
-
-    ...
-
-    @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
-    @CreatedOn
-    private Date created;
-
-    @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
-    @ModifiedOn
-    private Date updated;
-
-    ...
-
-}
--------------------------------------
-
-In case the modification date should also be set during entity creation,
-the annotation can be customized:
-
------------------------------
-@ModifiedOn(setOnCreate=true)
------------------------------
-
-====  Who's Changing My Entities?
-
-Beside keeping track of when a change has happened, it is also often
-critical to track who's responsible for the change. Annotate a user
-tracking field with the following annotation:
-
-[source,java]
------------------------------
-@Entity
-public class AuditedEntity
-{
-
-    ...
-
-    @ModifiedBy
-    private String auditUser;
-
-    ...
-
-}
------------------------------
-
-Now a little help is needed. The entity listener needs to be able to
-resolve the current user - there must be a bean available of the
-matching type for the annotation property, exposed over a special CDI
-qualifier:
-
-[source,java]
-----------------------------------
-public class UserProvider
-{
-
-    @Inject
-    private User user;
-
-    @Produces @CurrentUser
-    public String currentUser() {
-        return user.getUsername();
-    }
-
-    ...
-
-}
-----------------------------------
-
-TIP: The JPA Spec does not recommend to modify entity relations from within a
-lifecycle callback. If you expose another entity here, make sure that
-your persistence provider supports this. Also you should ensure that the
-entity is attached to a persistent context. Also, be aware that the CDI
-container will proxy a scoped bean, which might confuse the persistence
-provider when persisting / updating the target entity.

+
+== Overview
+The Data module provides capabilities for implementing repository patterns and thereby simplifying the repository layer. Repository patterns are ideal for simple queries that require boilerplate code, enabling centralization of query logic and consequently reducing code duplication and improving testability.
+
+The code sample below gives you a quick overview on the common usage
+scenarios of the data module:
+
+[source,java]
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+@Repository
+public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
+{
+
+    List<Person> findByAgeBetweenAndGender(int minAge, int maxAge, Gender gender);
+
+    @Query("select p from Person p where p.ssn = ?1")
+    Person findBySSN(String ssn);
+
+    @Query(named=Person.BY_FULL_NAME)
+    Person findByFullName(String firstName, String lastName);
+
+}
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+As you see in the sample, there are several usage scenarios outlined
+here:
+
+* Declare a method which executes a query by simply translating its name
+and parameters into a query.
+* Declare a method which automatically executes a given JPQL query
+string with parameters.
+* Declare a method which automatically executes a named query with
+parameters.
+
+The implementation of the method is done automatically by the CDI
+extension. A client can declare a dependency to the interface only. The
+details on how to use those features are outlined in the following
+chapters.
+
+== Project Setup
+
+The configuration information provided here is for Maven-based projects and it assumes that you have already declared the DeltaSpike version and DeltaSpike Core module for your projects, as detailed in <<configure#, Configure DeltaSpike in Your Projects>>. For Maven-independent projects, see <<configure#config-maven-indep,Configure DeltaSpike in Maven-independent Projects>>.
+
+=== 1. Declare Data Module Dependencies
+
+Add the Data module to the list of dependencies in the project `pom.xml` file using this code snippet:
+
+[source,xml]
+----
+<dependency>
+    <groupId>org.apache.deltaspike.modules</groupId>
+    <artifactId>deltaspike-data-module-api</artifactId>
+    <version>${deltaspike.version}</version>
+    <scope>compile</scope>
+</dependency>
+
+<dependency>
+    <groupId>org.apache.deltaspike.modules</groupId>
+    <artifactId>deltaspike-data-module-impl</artifactId>
+    <version>${deltaspike.version}</version>
+    <scope>runtime</scope>
+</dependency>
+----
+
+Or if you're using Gradle, add these dependencies to your `build.gradle`:
+
+[source]
+----
+     runtime 'org.apache.deltaspike.modules:deltaspike-data-module-impl'
+     compile 'org.apache.deltaspike.modules:deltaspike-data-module-api'
+----
+
+=== 2. Complete Additional Java Environment Configuration
+
+The Data module requires a JPA implementation to be available in the Java environment where your projects are deployed.
+
+The simplest way using the DeltaSpike Data module is to run your
+application in a Java EE container supporting at least the Java EE6 Web
+Profile. Other configurations like running it inside Tomcat or even a
+Java SE application should be possible - you need to include a JPA
+provider as well as a CDI container to your application manually.
+
+As of DeltaSpike v1.4.0, the Data module internally leverages the Proxy module, which wraps ASM 5.  No external
+dependencies required, and now we have full support for interceptors on partial beans.
+
+=== 3. Complete Additional Project Configuration
+
+DeltaSpike Data requires an `EntityManager` exposed via a CDI producer -
+which is common practice in Java EE6 applications.
+
+[source,java]
+------------------------------------------------------
+public class EntityManagerProducer
+{
+    @PersistenceUnit
+    private EntityManagerFactory emf;
+
+    @Produces // you can also make this @RequestScoped
+    public EntityManager create()
+    {
+        return emf.createEntityManager();
+    }
+
+    public void close(@Disposes EntityManager em)
+    {
+        if (em.isOpen())
+        {
+            em.close();
+        }
+    }
+}
+------------------------------------------------------
+
+This allows the `EntityManager` to be injected over CDI instead of only
+being used with a `@PersistenceContext` annotation. Using multiple
+`EntityManager` is explored in more detail in a following section.
+
+If you use a JTA DataSource with your `EntityManager`, you also have to
+configure the `TransactionStrategy` your repositories use. Adapt your
+`beans.xml` for this:
+
+[source,xml]
+----
+<beans>
+    <alternatives>
+        <class>org.apache.deltaspike.jpa.impl.transaction.BeanManagedUserTransactionStrategy</class>
+    </alternatives>
+</beans>
+----
+
+IMPORTANT: Using the DeltaSpike Data module in an EAR deployment is currently restricted to
+annotation-based entities.
+
+== Core Concepts
+
+=== Repositories
+
+With the DeltaSpike Data module, it is possible to make a repository out
+of basically any abstract class or interface (using a concrete class
+will work too, but you will not be able to use most of the CDI extension
+features). All that is required is to mark the type as such with a
+simple annotation:
+
+[source,java]
+----------------------------------------
+@Repository(forEntity = Person.class)
+public abstract class PersonRepository {
+    ...
+}
+
+@Repository(forEntity = Person.class)
+public interface PersonRepository {
+    ...
+}
+----------------------------------------
+
+The `@Repository` annotation tells the extension that this is a
+repository for the `Person` entity. Any method defined on the repository
+will be processed by the framework. The annotation does not require to
+set the entity class (we'll see later why) but if there are just plain
+classes or interfaces this is the only way to tell the framework what
+entity the repository relates to. In order to simplify this, DeltaSpike
+Data provides several base types.
+
+==== The `EntityRepository` Interface
+
+Although mainly intended to hold complex query logic, working with both
+a repository and an `EntityManager` in the service layer might
+unnecessarily clutter code. In order to avoid this for the most common
+cases, DeltaSpike Data provides base types which can be used to replace
+the entity manager.
+
+The top base type is the `EntityRepository` interface, providing common
+methods used with an `EntityManager`. The following code shows the most
+important methods of the interface:
+
+[source,java]
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------
+public interface EntityRepository<E, PK extends Serializable>
+{
+
+    E save(E entity);
+
+    void remove(E entity);
+
+    void refresh(E entity);
+
+    void flush();
+
+    E findBy(PK primaryKey);
+
+    List<E> findAll();
+
+    List<E> findBy(E example, SingularAttribute<E, ?>... attributes);
+
+    List<E> findByLike(E example, SingularAttribute<E, ?>... attributes);
+
+    Long count();
+
+    Long count(E example, SingularAttribute<E, ?>... attributes);
+
+    Long countLike(E example, SingularAttribute<E, ?>... attributes);
+
+}
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The concrete repository can then extend this basic interface. For our
+Person repository, this might look like the following:
+
+[source,java]
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+@Repository
+public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
+{
+
+    Person findBySsn(String ssn);
+
+}
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+TIP: Annotations on interfaces do not inherit. If the `EntityRepository`
+interface is extended by another interface adding some more common
+methods, it is not possible to simply add the annotation there. It needs
+to go on each concrete repository. The same is not true if a base class
+is introduced, as we see in the next chapter.
+
+===== The AbstractEntityRepository Class
+
+This class is an implementation of the `EntityRepository` interface and
+provides additional functionality when custom query logic needs also to
+be implemented in the repository.
+
+[source,java]
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+public abstract class PersonRepository extends AbstractEntityRepository<Person, Long>
+{
+
+    public List<Person> findBySSN(String ssn)
+    {
+        return typedQuery("select p from Person p where p.ssn = ?1")
+                .setParameter(1, ssn)
+                .getResultList();
+    }
+
+}
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+=== Deactivating Repositories
+
+Repositories can be deactivated creating a <<spi.adoc#_classdeactivator,ClassDeactivator>>.
+
+The `EntityRepository` interface implements the <<core.adoc#_deactivatable,Deactivatable>> interface allowing it to be used in the ClassDeactivator.
+
+If your repository does not implement `EntityRepository` and you want to deactivate it, you will need to implement the <<core.adoc#_deactivatable,Deactivatable>>  interface yourself.
+
+[source,java]
+----------------------------------------
+@Repository(forEntity = Person.class)
+public abstract class PersonRepository implements Deactivatable {
+    ...
+}
+
+@Repository(forEntity = Person.class)
+public interface PersonRepository extends Deactivatable {
+    ...
+}
+----------------------------------------
+
+=== Support of @TransactionScoped EntityManagers
+
+For using `@TransactionScoped` beans like a `@TransactionScoped`-`EntityManager`,
+you need to annotate the Data-repository with @Transactional explicitly or one of the beans in the call-hierarchy.
+That's needed, because the context bound to `@TransactionScoped` needs to be active,
+before the `@TransactionScoped`-`EntityManager` gets resolved (internally).
+
+The following examples illustrate the described usages:
+
+.@TransactionScoped EntityManager combined with a simple repository
+[source,java]
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+public class EntityManagerProducer
+{
+    @Produces
+    @TransactionScoped
+    public EntityManager create() { ... }
+
+    public void close(@Disposes EntityManager em)  { ... }
+}
+
+@ApplicationScoped
+public class MyService
+{
+    @Inject
+    private MyRepository myRepository;
+
+    public void create()
+    {
+        //...
+        this.myRepository.save(...); //executed in a transaction
+        //...
+    }
+}
+
+@Transactional
+@Repository
+public interface MyRepository extends EntityRepository<MyEntity, String>
+{
+  //...
+}
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+.@TransactionScoped EntityManager combined with a simple repository called by a transactional bean
+[source,java]
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+public class EntityManagerProducer
+{
+    @Produces
+    @TransactionScoped
+    public EntityManager create() { ... }
+
+    public void close(@Disposes EntityManager em)  { ... }
+}
+
+@Transactional
+@ApplicationScoped
+public class MyService
+{
+    @Inject
+    private MyRepository myRepository;
+
+    public void create() //executed in a transaction
+    {
+        //...
+        this.myRepository.save(...);
+        //...
+    }
+}
+
+@Repository
+public interface MyRepository extends EntityRepository<MyEntity, String>
+{
+  //...
+}
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+=== Using Multiple EntityManagers
+
+While most applications will run just fine with a single
+`EntityManager`, there might be setups where multiple data sources are
+used. This can be configured with the `EntityManagerConfig` annotation:
+
+[source,java]
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+@Repository
+@EntityManagerConfig(entityManagerResolver = CrmEntityManagerResolver.class, flushMode = FlushModeType.COMMIT)
+public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
+{
+    ...
+}
+
+public class CrmEntityManagerResolver implements EntityManagerResolver
+{
+    @Inject @CustomerData // Qualifier - assumes a producer is around...
+    private EntityManager em;
+
+    @Override
+    public EntityManager resolveEntityManager()
+    {
+        return em;
+    }
+}
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Again, note that annotations on interfaces do not inherit, so it is not
+possible to create something like a base `CrmRepository` interface with
+the `@EntityManagerConfig` and then extending / implementing this
+interface.
+
+=== Other EntityManager Methods
+
+While the `EntityRepository` methods should cover most interactions
+normally done with an `EntityManager`, for some specific cases it might
+still be useful to have one or the other method available. For this
+case, it is possible to extend / implement the `EntityManagerDelegate`
+interface for repositories, which offers most other methods available in
+a JPA 2.0 `EntityManager`:
+
+[source,java]
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+@Repository
+public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>, EntityManagerDelegate<Person>
+{
+    ...
+}
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Alternatively, you can extend the `FullEntityRepository` interface which is a short-hand for extending
+all of `EntityRepository`, `EntityManagerDelegate` and `CriteriaSupport`.
+
+[source,java]
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+@Repository
+public interface PersonRepository extends FullEntityRepository<Person, Long>
+{
+    ...
+}
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+For abstract classes, there is a convenience base class `AbstractFullEntityRepository` which also
+implements `EntityManagerDelegate` and `CriteriaSupport` and thus exposes most `EntityManager` methods:
+
+[source,java]
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+@Repository
+public abstract PersonRepository extends AbstractFullEntityRepository<Person, Long>
+{
+    ...
+}
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+== Query Method Expressions
+
+Good naming is a difficult aspects in software engineering. A good
+method name usually makes comments unnecessary and states exactly what
+the method does. And with method expressions, the method name is
+actually the implementation!
+
+=== Using Method Expressions
+
+Let's start by looking at a (simplified for readability) example:
+
+[source,java]
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+@Entity
+public class Person
+{
+
+    @Id @GeneratedValue
+    private Long id;
+    private String name;
+    private Integer age;
+    private Gender gender;
+
+}
+
+@Repository
+public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
+{
+
+    List<Person> findByNameLikeAndAgeBetweenAndGender(String name,
+                              int minAge, int maxAge, Gender gender);
+
+    long countByName(String name);
+
+    void removeByName(String name);
+}
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Looking at the method name, this can easily be read as query all Persons
+which have a name like the given name parameter, their age is between a
+min and a max age and having a specific gender. The DeltaSpike Data
+module can translate method names following a given format and directly
+generate the query implementation out of it (in EBNF-like form):
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+(Entity|Optional<Entity>|List<Entity>|Stream<Entity>) (prefix)(Property[Comparator]){Operator Property [Comparator]}
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Or in more concrete words:
+
+* The query method must return an entity, an `Optional` of an entity, a list of entities or a stream of entities.
+* It must start with the `findBy` prefix (or related `findOptionalBy`, `findAnyBy`, `findAll`, `findFirst` or `findTop`).
+* Followed by a property of the Repository entity and an optional comparator (we'll define this later). The property will be used in the query together with the comparator. Note that the number of arguments passed to the method depend on the comparator.
+* You can add more blocks of property-comparator which have to be concatenated by a boolean operator. This is either an `And` or `Or`.
+
+You can also use the same way for delete an entity:
+* It must start with the `removeBy` keyword (or related `deleteBy`).
+
+or for counting:
+* It must start with the `countBy` keyword.
+* It must return a int or long.
+
+Other assumptions taken by the expression evaluator:
+
+* The property name starts lower cased while the property in the expression has an upper cases first character.
+
+Following comparators are currently supported to be used in method
+expressions:
+
+[options="header, autowidth"]
+|===
+| Name                |# of Arguments     |Description
+| Equal               |1 | Property must be equal to argument value. If the operator is omitted in the expression, this is assumed as default.
+| EqualIgnoreCase     |1 | Property must be equal to argument value (case insensitive).
+| IgnoreCase          |1 | Property must be equal to argument value (case insensitive).
+| NotEqual            |1 | Property must be not equal to argument value.
+| NotEqualIgnoreCase  |1 | Property must be not equal to argument value (case insensitive).
+| Like                |1 | Property must be like the argument value. Use the %-wildcard in the argument.
+| LikeIgnoreCase      |1 | Property must be like the argument value (case insensitive). Use the %-wildcard in the argument.
+| NotLike `*`         |1 | Property must be not like the argument value. Use the %-wildcard in the argument.
+| GreaterThan         |1 | Property must be greater than argument value.
+| GreaterThanEquals   |1 | Property must be greater than or equal to argument value.
+| LessThan            |1 | Property must be less than argument value.
+| LessThanEquals      |1 | Property must be less than or equal to argument value.
+| Between             |2 | Property must be between the two argument values.
+| IsNull              |0 | Property must be null.
+| IsNotNull           |0 | Property must be non-null.
+| In `*`              |1 | Property must be in the list of values given as a single argument. The argument should be of Collection type (e.g. List, Set, etc.).
+| NotIn `*`           |1 | Property must be not in the list of values given as a single argument. The argument should be of Collection type (e.g. List, Set, etc.).
+| True  `*`           |0 | Property must be true.
+| False `*`           |0 | Property must be false.
+| Containing `*`      |1 | Property must be like the argument value. Don't use the %-wildcard in the argument. The argument value would be automatically wrapped in a pair of %-wildcard.
+| StartingWith `*`    |1 | Property must begin with the argument value. Don't use the %-wildcard in the argument. A %-wildcard would be added automatically to the end of the argument value.
+| EndingWith `*`      |1 | Property must end with the argument value. Don't use the %-wildcard in the argument. A %-wildcard would be added automatically to the start of the argument value.
+|===
+
+`*` Comparator available since 1.9.1
+
+Note that DeltaSpike will validate those expressions during startup, so
+you will notice early in case you have a typo in those expressions.
+
+Also note that as of 1.7, the Entity type returned can either by the
+entity defined in this repository, or any other entity in your persistence
+unit, or any primitive type supported by your JPA implementation.
+
+=== Query Ordering
+
+Beside comparators it is also possible to sort queries by using the
+`OrderBy` keyword, followed by the attribute name and the direction
+(`Asc` or `Desc`).
+
+[source,java]
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+@Repository
+public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
+{
+
+    List<Person> findByLastNameLikeOrderByAgeAscLastNameDesc(String lastName);
+
+}
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+=== Query Limits
+
+Starting with Apache DeltaSpike 1.6.2, you can apply query limits using method
+expressions.  They can be applied using `findFirst` or `findTop` prefixes in a
+method like this:
+
+[source,java]
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+@Repository
+public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
+{
+
+    List<Person> findFirst2ByLastNameOrderByAgeAscLastNameDesc(String lastName);
+
+    List<Person> findTop2ByLastNameOrderByAgeAscLastNameDesc(String lastName);
+
+}
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The number following the prefix indicates how many to limit by, when setting
+the `maxResults` attribute of the underlying query.  You can pair this with
+a `@FirstResult` parameter to give consistent paging.
+
+Query Limits can be applied even when there is no where clause defined by your
+query.
+
+[source,java]
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+@Repository
+public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
+{
+
+    List<Person> findAllOrderByAgeAsc();
+
+    List<Person> findTop20OrderByLastNameDesc();
+
+}
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The first query finding all entries ordered by age, and the second only 20
+ordered by last name.
+
+=== Nested Properties
+
+To create a comparison on a nested property, the traversal parts can be
+separated by a `_`:
+
+[source,java]
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+@Repository
+public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
+{
+
+    List<Person> findByCompany_companyName(String companyName);
+
+}
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+=== Query Options
+
+
+DeltaSpike supports query options on method expressions. If you want to
+page a query, you can change the first result as well as the maximum
+number of results returned:
+
+[source,java]
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+@Repository
+public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
+{
+
+    List<Person> findByNameLike(String name, @FirstResult int start, @MaxResults int pageSize);
+
+}
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+=== Method Prefix
+
+In case the `findBy` prefix does not comply with your team conventions,
+this can be adapted:
+
+[source,java]
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+@Repository(methodPrefix = "fetchWith")
+public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
+{
+
+    List<Person> fetchWithNameLike(String name, @FirstResult int start, @MaxResults int pageSize);
+
+}
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+== Query Annotations
+
+While method expressions are fine for simple queries, they will often
+reach their limit once things get slightly more complex. Another aspect
+is the way you want to use JPA: The recommended approach using JPA for
+best performance is over named queries. To help incorporate those use
+cases, the DeltaSpike Data module supports also annotating methods for
+more control on the generated query.
+
+
+=== Using Query Annotations
+
+The simplest way to define a specific query is by annotating a method and
+providing the JPQL query string which has to be executed. In code, this
+looks like the following sample:
+
+[source,java]
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
+{
+
+    @Query("select count(p) from Person p where p.age > ?1")
+    Long countAllOlderThan(int minAge);
+
+}
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The parameter binding in the query corresponds to the argument index in
+the method.
+
+You can also refer to a named query which is constructed and executed
+automatically. The `@Query` annotation has a named attribute which
+corresponds to the query name:
+
+[source,java]
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+@Entity
+@NamedQueries({
+    @NamedQuery(name = Person.BY_MIN_AGE,
+                query = "select count(p) from Person p where p.age > ?1 order by p.age asc")
+})
+public class Person
+{
+
+    public static final String BY_MIN_AGE = "person.byMinAge";
+    ...
+
+}
+
+@Repository
+public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
+{
+
+    @Query(named = Person.BY_MIN_AGE)
+    Long countAllOlderThan(int minAge);
+
+}
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Same as before, the parameter binding corresponds to the argument index
+in the method. If the named query requires named parameters to be used,
+this can be done by annotating the arguments with the `@QueryParam`
+annotation.
+
+TIP: Java does not preserve method parameter names (yet), that's why the
+annotation is needed.
+
+[source,java]
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+@NamedQuery(name = Person.BY_MIN_AGE,
+            query = "select count(p) from Person p where p.age > :minAge order by p.age asc")
+
+...
+
+@Repository
+public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
+{
+
+    @Query(named = Person.BY_MIN_AGE)
+    Long countAllOlderThan(@QueryParam("minAge") int minAge);
+
+}
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+It is also possible to set a native SQL query in the annotation. The
+`@Query` annotation has a native attribute which flags that the query is
+not JPQL but plain SQL:
+
+[source,java]
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+@Entity
+@Table(name = "PERSON_TABLE")
+public class Person
+{
+    ...
+}
+
+@Repository
+public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
+{
+
+    @Query(value = "SELECT * FROM PERSON_TABLE p WHERE p.AGE > ?1", isNative = true)
+    List<Person> findAllOlderThan(int minAge);
+
+}
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+=== Annotation Options
+
+Beside providing a query string or reference, the `@Query` annotation
+provides also two more attributes:
+
+[source,java]
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+@Repository
+public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
+{
+
+    @Query(named = Person.BY_MIN_AGE, max = 10, lock = LockModeType.PESSIMISTIC_WRITE)
+    List<Person> findAllForUpdate(int minAge);
+
+}
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+[options="header, autowidth"]
+|===
+| Name | Description
+| max  | Limits the number of results.
+| lock | Use a specific LockModeType to execute the query.
+|===
+
+Note that these options can also be applied to method expressions.
+
+=== Query Options
+
+All the query options you have seen so far are more or less static. But
+sometimes you might want to apply certain query options dynamically. For
+example, sorting criteria could come from a user selection so they
+cannot be known beforehand. DeltaSpike allows you to apply query options
+at runtime by using the `QueryResult` result type:
+
+[source,java]
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+@Repository
+public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
+{
+
+    @Query("select p from Person p where p.age between ?1 and ?2")
+    QueryResult<Person> findAllByAge(int minAge, int maxAge);
+
+}
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Once you have obtained a `QueryResult`, you can apply further options to
+the query:
+
+[source,java]
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+List<Person> result = personRepository.findAllByAge(18, 65)
+    .orderAsc("p.lastName", false)
+    .orderDesc("p.age", false)
+    .lockMode(LockModeType.WRITE)
+    .hint("org.hibernate.timeout", Integer.valueOf(10))
+    .getResultList();
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+IMPORTANT: Note that sorting is only applicable to method expressions or non-named
+queries. For named queries it might be possible, but is currently only
+supported for Hibernate, EclipseLink and OpenJPA.
+
+Note that the `QueryResult` return type can also be used with method
+expressions.
+
+IMPORTANT: `QueryResult` is based on our internal understanding of your query.
+DeltaSpike expects the alias used in your queries to refer to the entity as `e`
+You can disable this behavior by passing in false with your attribute, `.orderDesc("p.age", false)`
+which would add descending ordering to your existing query `select p from Person p`
+
+=== Pagination
+
+We introduced the `QueryResult` type in the last chapter, which can also
+be used for pagination:
+
+[source,java]
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+// Query API style
+QueryResult<Person> paged = personRepository.findByAge(age)
+    .maxResults(10)
+    .firstResult(50);
+
+// or paging style
+QueryResult<Person> paged = personRepository.findByAge(age)
+    .withPageSize(10) // equivalent to maxResults
+    .toPage(5);
+
+int totalPages = paged.countPages();
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+=== Bulk Operations
+
+While reading entities and updating them one by one might be fine for
+many use cases, applying bulk updates or deletes is also a common usage
+scenario for repositories. DeltaSpike supports this with a special
+marking annotation `@Modifying`:
+
+[source,java]
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+@Repository
+public interface PersonRepository extends EntityRepository<Person, Long>
+{
+
+    @Modifying
+    @Query("update Person as p set p.classifier = ?1 where p.classifier = ?2")
+    int updateClassifier(Classifier current, Classifier next);
+
+}
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Bulk operation query methods can either return void or int, which counts
+the number of entities affected by the bulk operation.
+
+=== Optional Query Results
+
+The JPA spec requires to throw excep
