Modifying native query cannot have named parameter bindings?

Question

I have specified the following modifying native query within my JpaRepository.

public interface PlayerStatisticsRepository extends JpaRepository<PlayerStatistics, PlayerStatisticsKey> {

@Modifying
@Query(value = "INSERT INTO playerstatistics(enteredTheFieldAtInSeconds, leftTheFieldAtInSeconds, hometeam_name, matchday_matchdaynumber, playedFromTheFirstWhistleblow, player_id) VALUES (:enteredTheFieldAtInSeconds, :leftTheFieldAtInSeconds, :#{#match.primaryKey.homeTeam.name}, :#{#match.primaryKey.matchday.matchdayNumber}, :playedFromTheFirstWhistleblow, :#{#player.id})", nativeQuery = true)
void insertIntoPlayerStatistics(int enteredTheFieldAtInSeconds, int leftTheFieldAtInSeconds,
        boolean playedFromTheFirstWhistleblow, Match match, Player player);
}

Unfortunately it ends with an exception at the runtime saying that supposedly the binding for the match parameter is not there, while it obviously is.

In one of the comments here, someone is writing that SpEL does not work if there is more than one parameter but I have also another select query that is not native and it does have more than one parameter and works flawlessly.

Indexed access works like a charm.

@Modifying
@Query(value = "INSERT INTO playerstatistics(enteredTheFieldAtInSeconds, leftTheFieldAtInSeconds, hometeam_name, matchday_matchdaynumber, playedFromTheFirstWhistleblow, player_id) VALUES (?#{[0]}, ?#{[1]}, ?#{[3].primaryKey.homeTeam.name}, ?#{[3].primaryKey.matchday.matchdayNumber}, ?#{[2]}, ?#{[4].id})", nativeQuery = true)
void insertIntoPlayerStatistics(int enteredTheFieldAtInSeconds, int leftTheFieldAtInSeconds,
        boolean playedFromTheFirstWhistleblow, Match match, Player player);

Has anybody experienced a similar issue? Is this a bug? I could not find any open issue on that.

Answer 1

I might be a bit late for this particular party, but bumped into same issue. Turns out you shouldn't mix ways of passing parameters - if you use SpEL, be consistent and use it everywhere. E.g.

INSERT INTO x (x,y,z) VALUES (:x, :#{#y}, ?[0])

will not work, but

INSERT INTO x (x,y,z) VALUES (:#{#x}, :#{#y}, :#{#[4]})

runs just fine.

Edit: you obviously noticed, that your second example works as well, since you consistently use SpEL there.

Answer 2

You need to order the parameters exactly as they appear in your native Query, so the query become:

@Query(value = "INSERT INTO playerstatistics(enteredTheFieldAtInSeconds, leftTheFieldAtInSeconds, hometeam_name, matchday_matchdaynumber, playedFromTheFirstWhistleblow, player_id) VALUES (:enteredTheFieldAtInSeconds, :leftTheFieldAtInSeconds, :#{#match.primaryKey.homeTeam.name}, :#{#match.primaryKey.matchday.matchdayNumber}, :playedFromTheFirstWhistleblow, :#{#player.id})", nativeQuery = true)

void insertIntoPlayerStatistics(int enteredTheFieldAtInSeconds, int leftTheFieldAtInSeconds,
   Match match, boolean playedFromTheFirstWhistleblow, Player player);
