Spring Data and custom query validation exception

Question

I faced a problem with custom queries in Spring Data. I have a repository with method:

public interface UserRepository extends JpaRepository<User, Long> {
    @Modifying(clearAutomatically = true)
    @Query("UPDATE User AS u SET u.isUserEnabled = :isEnabled WHERE u.id = :userId")
    void changeUserStatus(@Param("userId") Long userId, @Param("isEnabled") boolean isEnabled);
}

But it fails with:

 [http-nio-8088-exec-2] INFO org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean - Closing JPA EntityManagerFactory for persistence unit 'default'
[http-nio-8088-exec-2] ERROR org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet - Context initialization failed

User entity is marked with entity annotation, and repository works normally without this query method. Can someone help me?

Answer 1

Did you try:

@Query(value="UPDATE User u SET u.isUserEnabled = :isEnabled WHERE u.id = :userId", nativeQuery=true);

Answer 2

The problem is in your package name "by.jahra.repository". Actually it starts with by what is SQL keyword and it cause an error, you should change that.
