Description

I want to use Deltaspike Data Repo as a Service because it is simplistic and not DAO.
Since of service operates over multiple entities I want the extension to recognize the Entity type dynamically by method return type.
Notice the example does not implement EntityRepository and therefore the only return type should be checked.

@Repository
public interface Java8Repository {
  MyEntity findByCourse(@NotNull String courseName);
  AnotherEntity findByCustomer(@NotNull String customerName);

  @Query("........")
  Object[] findMultipleEntityTypes(@NotNull String attribute);
}
