Description

I see a common pattern appearing in our code that it iterates the list of entities and calls save(S).
I would like to propose another save method to EntityRepository class:

    public abstract <S extends T> List<S> save(Iterable<S> entities) {

        List<S> result = new ArrayList<S>();

        if (entities == null) {
            return result;
        }

        for (S entity : entities) {
            result.add(save(entity));
        }

        return result;
    }

I don't know what is the impact on transaction - I've not worked with batch yet.
