deleteByIdAndXXX with Spring Boot JpaRepository

Question

Is there any specific reason why deleteById(id) will throw an EmptyResultDataAccessException if it does not find the record and deleteByIdAndXXX will not return any exception if the record does not exist ?

Is there any alternative way deleteByIdAndXXX could throw an EmptyResultDataAccessException if the record is not found ?

Answer 1

deleteById(id) throws an EmptyResultDataAccessException when the entity by id is not found because it is implemented that way. Internally deleteById does a findById and then deletes the fetched entity or throws that exception.

If you want the same behaviour in your delete method you need to implement it manually.
