Spring Data JDBC vs. Spring Data JPA
Spring Data JPA isn't the only Spring Data persistence option — Spring Data JDBC deliberately removes the persistence context entirely, trading JPA's automatic convenience for a smaller, more predictable, fully explicit model.
Learning objectives
- Explain what Spring Data JDBC removes (persistence context, dirty checking, lazy loading) compared to JPA.
- Choose the right tool for a given domain model's complexity.
- Explain why a mutated Spring Data JDBC entity requires an explicit save() call, unlike a managed JPA entity.
