Unified Queries for Java

Querydsl

Querydsl is a framework which enables the construction of type-safe SQL-like queries for multiple backends including JPA, MongoDB and SQL in Java.

Instead of writing queries as inline strings or externalizing them into XML files they are constructed via a fluent API.

Why forking?

Querydsl is at best stale, at worse dead. By the time I made this fork, last commit was one year old and last release over 2 years old.

I reach out to the queryDSL team, but, honestly, they don't care.

Why forking under openfeign?

Well, openfeign is already stabilished and having querydsl under it gives a better idea on how committed I am on keeping the lights on.

What's next?

Step 1: Get project setup with CI, change groupId to openfeign. Just bare basic to get a project operational.

Step 2: Release querydsl 5.0.1, exact same sources as 5.0.0, but using step 1 to release from new home.

Step 3: Immediatelly after step 2, start dependabot on 5.0.0 branch and get all old dependencies up-to-date and release 5.1.

Step 4: Bring all these changes to master and release 6.0.0.

From that point, try to keep regular releases going on, hopefully with patches from community.

What is the endgame?

Get a querydsl project active! May be as a fork, may be as a wake up call to present querydsl project. If querydsl team gets their act thogether and pick up maintaining the project, this fork will most likely be archived. If the want my help (which they don't at the present time) I can help.

I need feature X? Or bug Z fixed?

Well, you will need to get your hands dirty. I might fix bugs or create features, but mostly when they affect my day job. Sorry, just a single guy here doing free work on spare time.

How to build

Querydsl provides releases via public Maven repositories, but you can also build the sources yourself like this

$ mvn -Pquickbuild,{projectname} clean install

Where projectname is one of the Maven profiles (e.g. jpa, sql, mongodb, etc. or all)

For more information visit the project homepage at https://querydsl.github.io.

Docker Compose setup

For running tests, a Docker Compose setup is provided. It comes with the following databases:

• Oracle Express Edition 11g
• PostgreSQL 16
• MySQL 5.5.34
• Cubrid 9.2

You will need to install Docker and docker-compose.

To launch the database containers:

$ docker-compose up -d

All of the databases' default ports are forwarded to the host machine.
