[FIXED] Use @Param for query method parameters, or when on Java 8+ use the javac flag -parameters

Issue

I have following code running on my local system:

@Query(value = "select l from TnncSetlmtSvcGrpStagingEntity l where l.runDate >=:runDate")
List<TnncSetlmtSvcGrpStagingEntity> findAllByRunDateGT(Date runDate);

But when I am running the same piece of code in higher environment I am getting the following error:

I checked the java version on the server it is:

java version "1.8.0_261"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_261-b25)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.261-b25, mixed mode)

On my local system also I am using Java 8.

Can anyone please help me solve this issue. Any help is appreciated.

Solution

Did you tried using a Named Parameter?

6.3.6. Using Named Parameters By default, Spring Data JPA uses position-based parameter binding, as described in all the preceding examples. This makes query methods a little error-prone when refactoring regarding the parameter position. To solve this issue, you can use @Param annotation to give a method parameter a concrete name and bind the name in the query

See https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/jpa/docs/current/reference/html/#jpa.named-parameters for details.

So, this should work:

@Query(value = "select l from TnncSetlmtSvcGrpStagingEntity l where l.runDate >=:runDate")
List<TnncSetlmtSvcGrpStagingEntity> findAllByRunDateGT(@Param("runDate") Date runDate);
