Lombok support

Doma supports Lombok version 1.16.12 and later.

Note

If you intend to use Eclipse, use version 4.5 or above.

Overview

Both Lombok and Doma use annotation processors. Java doesn’t guarantee any specific order for annotation processors to run. This means Doma’s processors might execute before Lombok has finished modifying classes.

To address this issue, Doma’s annotation processors recognize several Lombok annotations and adjust their behavior accordingly. For example, when Doma’s annotation processors encounter a class annotated with @lombok.Value, they assume that the class has a constructor with parameters matching all its instance fields.

Best practices

Here are the recommended patterns for using Lombok annotations with Doma classes:

Entity class definition

Immutable Entity Classes

  • Specify true to the immutable element of @Entity

  • Specify either @lombok.Value or @lombok.AllArgsConstructor

  • Specify @lombok.Getter to generate getters, in case of @lombok.AllArgsConstructor

@Entity(immutable = true)
@Value
public class Employee {
  @Id
  Integer id;
  String name;
  Age age;
}
@Entity(immutable = true)
@AllArgsConstructor
@Getter
public class Worker {
  @Id
  private final Integer id;
  private final String name;
  private final Age age;
}

mutable entity classes

  • Define a default constructor

  • Specify @lombok.Data or @lombok.Getter/@lombok.Setter to generate getters/setters

@Entity
@Data
public class Person {
  @Id
  private Integer id;
  private String name;
  private Age age;
}
@Entity
@Getter
@Setter
public class Businessman {
  @Id
  private Integer id;
  private String name;
  private Age age;
}

Domain class definition

  • Specify @lombok.Value

  • Define only one instance field whose name is value

@Domain(valueType = Integer.class)
@Value
public class Age {
  Integer value;
}

Embeddable class definition

  • Specify either @lombok.Value or @lombok.AllArgsConstructor

  • Specify @lombok.Getter to generate getters, in case of @lombok.AllArgsConstructor

@Embeddable
@Value
public class Address {
  String street;
  String city;
}
@Embeddable
@AllArgsConstructor
@Getter
public class Location {
  private final String street;
  private final String city;
}
