Because of its ease of use, Spring Information JPA is an extremely common persistence framework. If builders have one thing to complain about, they normally criticize object-relational mapping usually or the chance of efficiency issues. And when you can, in fact, criticize the idea of object-relational mapping, you shouldn’t blame Spring Information JPA in your utility’s efficiency issues. As a result of in nearly all instances, that’s not Spring Information JPA’s fault. These issues are normally attributable to your utility misusing options or avoiding vital efficiency optimizations.
On this article, I’ll present you the 6 most typical efficiency pitfalls when utilizing Spring Information JPA and methods to keep away from them. Not all of those pitfalls are particular to Spring Information JPA. A few of them are attributable to the underlying JPA implementation, e.g., Hibernate or EclipseLink. For the scope of this text, I anticipate that you just’re utilizing Spring Information JPA with Hibernate.
Pitfall 1: Don’t monitor database operations throughout growth
Once you determine to make use of Spring Information JPA to implement your persistence layer, you run into the first efficiency pitfall earlier than you write your first line of code. And you’ll undergo from it till you lastly repair it. However don’t fear. You may repair it simply and in any section of your undertaking.
I’m speaking about monitoring all database operations throughout growth. With out paying shut consideration to all of the SQL statements Spring Information JPA is executing, it’s nearly not possible to acknowledge potential efficiency points throughout growth. And that’s as a result of the efficiency influence of any inefficiency relies on the quantity and construction of your information. When utilizing a small check database, these inefficiencies are sometimes hardly recognizable. However that drastically adjustments while you deploy your utility to manufacturing.
If you wish to dive deeper into this subject, I like to recommend studying my article about my advisable logging configuration for Spring Information JPA. Or watch my Skilled Session on Spring Information JPA efficiency tuning out there within the Persistence Hub. Each get into far more element than I can do on this a part of this put up. Right here I can solely offer you a fast abstract of what you need to do to observe your database operations.
Spring Information JPA solely acts as a small layer on high of a JPA implementation, e.g., Hibernate. Hibernate is accountable for all SQL statements. As a result of that, it’s additionally the system we have to configure to study all executed database operations.
There are 2 issues you need to do to get a very good overview of all of the database operations Hibernate performs:
- set the property spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.generate_statistics in your utility.properties file to true and
- activate debug logging for org.hibernate.stat and org.hibernate.SQL.
# Really helpful logging configuration
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.generate_statistics=true
logging.degree.root=INFO
logging.degree.org.hibernate.stat=DEBUG
logging.degree.org.hibernate.SQL=DEBUG
Let’s use this configuration and execute the code within the following code snippet. ChessPlayer is a straightforward entity class, and playerRepo is a typical JpaRepository supplied by Spring Information JPA.
ChessPlayer participant = new ChessPlayer();
participant.setFirstName("Thorben");
participant.setLastName("Janssen");
playerRepo.save(participant);
In your log file, you possibly can then see a paragraph of Session Metrics that summarize all of the operations Hibernate carried out and the two executed SQL statements.
10:45:18 DEBUG 3720 - – [ main] org.hibernate.SQL : choose nextval ('player_sequence')
10:45:18 DEBUG 3720 - – [ main] org.hibernate.SQL : insert into chess_player (birth_date, first_name, last_name, model, id) values (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)
10:45:18 INFO 3720 - – [ main] i.StatisticalLoggingSessionEventListener : Session Metrics {
2885900 nanoseconds spent buying 1 JDBC connections;
0 nanoseconds spent releasing 0 JDBC connections;
502400 nanoseconds spent making ready 2 JDBC statements;
7977700 nanoseconds spent executing 2 JDBC statements;
0 nanoseconds spent executing 0 JDBC batches;
0 nanoseconds spent performing 0 L2C places;
0 nanoseconds spent performing 0 L2C hits;
0 nanoseconds spent performing 0 L2C misses;
21197400 nanoseconds spent executing 1 flushes (flushing a complete of 1 entities and 0 collections);
0 nanoseconds spent executing 0 partial-flushes (flushing a complete of 0 entities and 0 collections)
}
Primarily based on this info, you possibly can shortly verify in case your persistence layer executed any surprising operations and determine if you want to take a more in-depth have a look at it.
Pitfall 2: Calling the saveAndFlush() technique to persist updates
One other typical efficiency pitfall is to name the saveAndFlush technique supplied by Spring Information JPA’s JpaRepository to persist an replace of a modified entity object. It prevents your JPA implementation from utilizing inside optimizations and forces pointless flushes of the whole persistence context. And to make it even worse, you don’t must name the saveAndFlush technique to persist an replace.
As I defined in my information to JPA’s lifecycle mannequin, all entity objects have a lifecycle state. In the event you fetched an entity object from the database or continued a brand new one, it has the lifecycle state managed. Meaning your JPA implementation is aware of this object and robotically persists all adjustments you carry out on it.
To get the very best efficiency, you need to let your JPA implementation determine when it persists these adjustments. By default, it flushes the persistence context earlier than executing a question and committing the transaction. Through the flush operation, it checks if any managed entity object has been modified, generates the required SQL UPDATE statements, and executes it.
Let’s take a fast have a look at an instance. The next code will get all ChessPlayer objects from the database and adjustments their firstName attribute. As you possibly can see, I don’t name any technique on my playerRepo to persist these adjustments. However as you possibly can see within the log output, Hibernate executes an SQL UPDATE assertion for each ChessPlayer object to persist the modified firstName. Hibernate does that robotically for all managed entities which have modified because you fetched them from the database.
Checklist<ChessPlayer> gamers = playerRepo.findAll();
gamers.forEach(participant -> {
log.data("########################");
log.data("Updating " + participant.getFirstName() + " " + participant.getLastName());
participant.setFirstName("Modified");
});

}
The log output additionally exhibits that Hibernate executed 5 JDBC statements and just one flush operation for 4 entities and 12 collections.
That adjustments if I name the saveAndFlush technique after altering the firstName attribute of an entity object. As I defined in a latest article, the saveAndFlush technique calls the flush technique on JPA’s EntityManager, which forces a flush operation for the whole persistence context.
Checklist<ChessPlayer> gamers = playerRepo.findAll();
gamers.forEach(participant -> {
log.data("########################");
log.data("Updating " + participant.getFirstName() + " " + participant.getLastName());
participant.setFirstName("Modified");
playerRepo.saveAndFlush(participant);
});
The log output clearly exhibits that the calls of the saveAndFlush technique drastically elevated the quantity of labor Hibernate needed to carry out. As a substitute of 1 flush operation for 4 entities and 12 collections, it now executed 5 flush operations for 20 entities and 60 collections.

However though Hibernate carried out 5 instances as many flushes as within the earlier instance, it nonetheless solely executed 5 JDBC statements, and the result’s precisely the identical. That exhibits that the 4 extra flushes attributable to the saveAndFlush technique solely slowed down the applying however didn’t present any profit.
So, please don’t name any save technique, particularly not the saveAndFlush technique, to persist a change on a managed entity object.
Pitfall 3: Use the mistaken technique to generate distinctive major key values
Most persistence layers let the database generate distinctive major key values when persisting new entity objects. That’s a really environment friendly method usually. However try to be acquainted with 2 frequent efficiency pitfalls.
Utilizing database sequences
In case your database helps sequences, you need to use GenerationType.SEQUENCE. Utilizing a database sequence allows Hibernate to separate the technology of major key values from the execution of the SQL INSERT assertion and to use additional efficiency optimizations.
And while you do this, please additionally ensure that to outline a sequence generator.
@Entity
public class ChessPlayer {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(technique = GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator = "player_gen")
@SequenceGenerator(title = "player_gen", sequenceName = "player_sequence", allocationSize = 50)
non-public Lengthy id;
...
}
In Hibernate 5, this prompts a efficiency optimization primarily based on the configured allocationSize. By default, it’s set to 50. It tells Hibernate that the sequence will get incremented by 50. Meaning it will probably increment the retrieved worth 49 instances earlier than it has to request a brand new one.
So, in the event you’re persisting 10 new ChessPlayer entities, Hibernate doesn’t should request a brand new worth from the database sequence for each entity.
for (int i=0; i<10; i++) {
ChessPlayer participant = new ChessPlayer();
participant.setFirstName("Participant"+i);
participant.setLastName("Participant"+i);
playerRepo.save(participant);
}
It solely requests 2 values to initialize its id generator earlier than incrementing the retrieved values to get distinctive major keys.

}
Utilizing autoincremented columns
In case your database doesn’t help sequences, you normally wish to use an autoincremented column as a substitute. In that case, you need to annotate your major key attribute with @GeneratedValue(technique=GenerationType.IDENTITY). That tells Hibernate to make use of the autoincremented column to generate the first key worth.
@Entity
public class ChessPlayer {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(technique = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
non-public Lengthy id;
...
}
However in the event you’re annotating your major key attribute with @GeneratedValue(technique=GeneratonType.AUTO) and use a database that doesn’t help sequences, Hibernate will use the inefficient TABLE technique as a substitute.
@Entity
public class ChessPlayer {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(technique = GenerationType.AUTO)
non-public Lengthy id;
...
}
The TABLE technique makes use of a database desk and pessimistic locks to generate distinctive major key values. This could trigger extreme scalability points.

So, higher keep away from GenerationType.AUTO and outline your most well-liked technology technique explicitly. And in case your utility must help completely different RDBMS, you possibly can comply with the strategies I defined in a earlier article.
Pitfall 4: Use keen fetching
One other typical efficiency pitfall is the fetching of related entities. The JPA specification defines 2 FetchTypes that outline when your persistence supplier shall fetch related entities:
- All associations utilizing FetchType.EAGER should get instantly initialized when an entity will get fetched from the database. That’s the default for all to-one associations.
- The initialization of all associations utilizing FetchType.LAZY will get delayed till your code accesses the affiliation for the primary time. That’s the default for all to-many associations.
Fetching an affiliation takes time and sometimes requires the execution of extra SQL statements. So, you need to keep away from fetching any associations you don’t use. You may obtain that through the use of the default FetchType for all to-many associations and setting the fetch attribute of all to-one associations to FetchType.LAZY.
@Entity
public class ChessGame {
@ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
non-public ChessPlayer playerWhite;
@ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
non-public ChessPlayer playerBlack;
...
}
And after you do this, you need to comply with the suggestions in Pitfall 5 to effectively fetch your associations when wanted.
Pitfall 5: Don’t specify which affiliation you wish to fetch
In the event you comply with my earlier recommendation and use FetchType.LAZY for all associations, you’ll almost definitely run into 2 issues:
- In the event you attempt to entry a lazily fetched affiliation outdoors the present persistence context, Hibernate throws a LazyInitializationException.
- When your code accesses a lazily fetched affiliation for the first time, your persistence supplier must execute a question to fetch the related information from the database. This typically causes the execution of many extra queries and is called the n+1 choose difficulty.
Fortunately, you possibly can simply repair each issues. You solely must outline which associations you wish to initialize when fetching an entity object from the database. Utilizing Spring Information JPA, the best means to try this is to annotate your repository technique with @EntityGraph or present your personal question with a JOIN FETCH clause. Let’s take a more in-depth have a look at each choices.
Utilizing an @EntityGraph annotation
An entity graph is a JPA function that allows you to outline which associations your persistence supplier shall initialize when fetching an entity from the database. Primarily based on the JPA specification, you possibly can outline it utilizing the @NamedEntityGraph annotation or the EntityGraph API.
Spring Information JPA provides another choice. You may annotate a repository technique with @EntityGraph and set a comma-separated checklist of attribute names as the worth of its attributePaths attribute. Spring Information JPA makes use of that info to outline an entity graph that tells your persistence supplier to fetch the referenced attributes and provides it to the question.
public interface ChessPlayerRepository extends JpaRepository<ChessPlayer, Lengthy> {
@EntityGraph(attributePaths = "tournaments")
Checklist<ChessPlayer> findPlayersWithTournamentsBy();
}
Let’s use the findPlayersWithTournamentsBy technique in a easy check case and verify the way it impacts the generated SQL assertion.
Checklist<ChessPlayer> gamers = playerRepo.findPlayersWithTournamentsBy();
log.data("Checklist chess gamers and their tournaments");
gamers.forEach(participant -> {log.data(participant.getFirstName() + " " + participant.getLastName()
+ " performed in " + participant.getTournaments().measurement() + " tournaments");});
As you possibly can see within the log output, the SQL question not solely selects all columns mapped by the ChessPlayer entity class. It additionally fetches all columns mapped by the ChessTournament class. Primarily based on this information, Hibernate can instantiate ChessPlayer objects and initialize their tournaments attribute with a Set of ChessTournament entity objects.
14:02:22 DEBUG 23240 - – [ main] org.hibernate.SQL : choose chessplaye0_.id as id1_1_0_, chesstourn2_.id as id1_2_1_, chessplaye0_.birth_date as birth_da2_1_0_, chessplaye0_.first_name as first_na3_1_0_, chessplaye0_.last_name as last_nam4_1_0_, chessplaye0_.model as version5_1_0_, chesstourn2_.end_date as end_date2_2_1_, chesstourn2_.title as name3_2_1_, chesstourn2_.start_date as start_da4_2_1_, chesstourn2_.model as version5_2_1_, tournament1_.players_id as players_2_4_0__, tournament1_.tournaments_id as tourname1_4_0__ from chess_player chessplaye0_ left outer be part of chess_tournament_players tournament1_ on chessplaye0_.id=tournament1_.players_id left outer be part of chess_tournament chesstourn2_ on tournament1_.tournaments_id=chesstourn2_.id

27900 nanoseconds spent executing 1 partial-flushes (flushing a complete of 0 entities and 0 collections)
}
The ChessPlayer objects and the affiliation to the tournaments are actually absolutely initialized, managed entity objects. You should utilize them in the identical means as every other entity object.
Utilizing a JOIN FETCH clause
You may obtain the identical by annotating your repository technique with @Question and offering a JPQL question with a JOIN FETCH or LEFT JOIN FETCH clause.
public interface ChessPlayerRepository extends JpaRepository<ChessPlayer, Lengthy> {
@Question("SELECT p FROM ChessPlayer p LEFT JOIN FETCH p.tournaments")
Checklist<ChessPlayer> findPlayersWithJoinedTournamentsBy();
}
A JOIN FETCH clause tells your persistence supplier to fetch the affiliation. The primary distinction to the beforehand mentioned @EntityGraph annotation is that the JOIN FETCH clause is a part of the question assertion. As a result of that, you possibly can’t use it with a derived question.
Let’s name the findPlayersWithJoinedTournamentsBy technique in the identical check case as we used within the earlier instance.
Checklist<ChessPlayer> gamers = playerRepo.findPlayersWithJoinedTournamentsBy();
log.data("Checklist chess gamers and their tournaments");
gamers.forEach(participant -> {log.data(participant.getFirstName() + " " + participant.getLastName()
+ " performed in " + participant.getTournaments().measurement() + " tournaments");});
As you possibly can see within the log output, Hibernate generated the identical SQL question as within the @EntityGraph instance. It fetches all columns mapped by the ChessPlayer and ChessTournament entity lessons and joins the corresponding database tables.

}
Pitfall 6: Utilizing advanced interface projections
In the event you don’t wish to change the information you fetched from the database, you need to use a DTO as a substitute of an entity projection. That allows you to solely fetch the required info and avoids the entity’s managed lifecycle overhead.
The most well-liked means to try this utilizing Spring Information JPA is to make use of an interface projection. You solely must outline an interface with a set of getter strategies. Spring Information JPA then generates an implementation of that interface, creates a question that solely selects the required entity attributes, and maps every row of the question end result to an object of the generated interface implementation.
When utilizing this type of projection, you need to solely embody fundamental attributes. As a result of as quickly as you embody an attribute that represents an affiliation or use Spring’s Expression Language, you’re dropping the efficiency advantages of a DTO projection. As a substitute of producing a question that solely selects the required entity attributes, Spring Information JPA then generates a question that selects the whole entity object. Primarily based on the entity projection, it then supplies you an interface illustration that solely provides you entry to the outlined getter strategies. So, in the long run, you get an entity projection’s complete efficiency overhead and a DTO projection’s limitations.
Let’s check out an instance. The TournamentIntf interface defines a getter technique for the match’s title and Checklist of PlayerNameIntf interfaces.
public interface TournamentIntf {
String getName();
Checklist<PlayerNameIntf> getPlayers();
}
And every occasion of the PlayerNameIntf interface represents a participant’s first and final title.
public interface PlayerNameIntf {
String getFirstName();
String getLastName();
}
Primarily based on these interface definitions, you’d anticipate that the next repository technique solely selects the title of the match and the primary and final names of all gamers.
public interface ChessTournamentRepository extends JpaRepository<ChessTournament, Lengthy>{
TournamentIntf findByName(String title);
}
However in the event you execute the next easy check case, you possibly can see within the log output that Spring Information JPA first chosen a ChessTournament entity object after which fetched all related ChessPlayer entities.
TournamentIntf match = tournamentRepo.findByName("Tata Metal Chess Match 2021");
log.data(match.getName());
for (PlayerNameIntf participant : match.getPlayers()) {
log.data(" - " + participant.getLastName() + ", " + participant.getFirstName());
}

26400 nanoseconds spent executing 1 partial-flushes (flushing a complete of 0 entities and 0 collections)
}
One of the simplest ways to keep away from that is to make use of a easy DTO definition that doesn’t embody any associations. On this instance, you can outline 2 separate queries. The primary one will get the title of the ChessTournament, and the second fetches the names of all gamers.
Or, in the event you nonetheless wish to hold the Checklist getPlayers() technique in your TournamentIntf interface, you need to comply with my recommendation from the earlier part. In the event you outline a customized question that selects ChessTournament entities and makes use of a JOIN FETCH clause to fetch the related gamers, you get all of the required info with 1 question. And you may nonetheless use TournamentIntf because the return kind of your repository technique. Spring Information JPA will map the chosen ChessTournament objects to the generated implementations of the TournamentIntf interface.
public interface ChessTournamentRepository extends JpaRepository<ChessTournament, Lengthy>{
@Question("SELECT t FROM ChessTournament t LEFT JOIN FETCH t.gamers WHERE t.title = :title")
TournamentIntf findByNameWithPlayers(String title);
}
In the event you change the earlier check case to name this repository technique, you possibly can see within the log output that Spring Information JPA now solely executed 1 question.

Your utility’s efficiency nonetheless suffers from choosing too many columns and the administration overhead of the internally used entity projection. However you no less than averted executing extra queries to fetch the required associations.
Conclusion
Spring Information JPA gained reputation as a result of it makes implementing your persistence layer straightforward. However you continue to want to grasp how Spring Information JPA, your JPA implementation, and your database work. Ignoring that is among the most typical causes for efficiency issues, and it’ll make sure that you run into the efficiency pitfalls defined on this article.
To keep away from most of those pitfalls, you need to first activate a very good logging configuration. Hibernate’s statistics offer you an outline of all executed operations, and the logged SQL assertion present you ways you work together along with your database.
When implementing replace operations, you need to keep away from calling the saveAndFlush technique supplied by Spring Information JPA’s JpaRepository. And while you’re producing major key values for brand new entities, you need to choose GenerationType.SEQUENCE and outline a @SequenceGenerator to profit from Hibernate’s efficiency optimization. In case your database doesn’t help sequences, you need to explicitly outline GenerationType.IDENTITY to stop Hibernate from utilizing the inefficient desk technique.
To get the very best efficiency when studying entity objects, you need to outline the FetchType of all associations as LAZY. In case your use case must traverse an affiliation between your entities, you need to inform your persistence supplier to initialize the affiliation when fetching the entity object. To try this, you possibly can add a JOIN FETCH clause to your question or annotate your repository technique with an @EntityGraph annotation.
And in the event you’re utilizing DTO projections in your read-only operations, you need to keep away from advanced, interface-based DTO projections that embody associations. They drive Spring Information JPA to make use of an entity projection as a substitute of a DTO projection.
