Named queries length

[steviemul]

I really like the ability to used named queries in Spring Boot JPA, however sometimes the method names can get very lengthy.

Suggestion to be able to alias a method in a repository to shorten the name.

For example

Instead of having a method like
public List<Customer> getCustomerByNameAndAddressSortByDataOfBirthDesc() {}

Could we reuse the named method functionality to allow the named query without having to explicity define the query, so something like

@Alias(for = "getCustomerByNameAndAddressSortByDataOfBirthDesc")
public List<Customer> getCustomers() {}

Just a thought

Query derivation is intended for simple queries and to indicate through the method name what query the caller is going to invoke. Anything beyond simple is naturally going to end up with very long names. Either use a @Query(…) annotation or a custom implementation for these queries.
