Column name as a parameter to Spring Data JPA Query

Is there a way to inject an Entity property dynamically to @Query? My need is to implement a method like follows:

@Query("select e from #{#entityName} e where e.***columnName*** = ?2")
List<T> findAll(String ***columnName***, String value);

Any other simple ways of doing this?

You can do it using Spring Specification.

Your specification method will be similar to the following one:

public static Specification<Entity> byColumnNameAndValue(String columnName, String value) {
    return new Specification<Entity>() {
        @Override
        public Predicate toPredicate(Root<Entity> root,
                CriteriaQuery<?> query, CriteriaBuilder builder) {
            return builder.equal(root.<String>get(columnName), value);
        }
    };
}

Please read a little about Specification, it's a great tool.
