Upgrading from Spring Data 2025.1 (Spring Data 4.0.x)

New and Noteworthy

Spring Data Commons - 4.1

Type-safe Property Paths

We now support type-safe property paths and property references to remove the need for stringly-typed programming when referring to properties within an entity.

Java variants:

PropertyPath.from("name", Person.class) // existing String-based API
PropertyPath.of(Person::getName) // type-safe property reference expression

PropertyPath.from("address.country", Person.class) // existing nested path API
PropertyPath.of(Person::getAddress).then(Address::getCountry) // type-safe composed path expression


PropertyReference.of(Secret::getSecret)

Kotlin variants:

PropertyReference.of(Secret::secret)

PropertyPath.of(Person::address / Address::city)

allowing type-safe usage through e.g.:

Sort.by(Person::getFirstName, Person::getLastName)
