How to display tables from DB in Spring MVC Controller - database

Question

I have referred to ->
Spring MVC how to display data from database into a table
My aim is to try and understand what is the syntax and process to create queries, and whether I'm correct.
The following code tries to display all Order entities.
#AutoWired
private OrderService orderService;
#RequestMapping("/")
//public String orderPage(Model model) {
// model.addAttribute("orderList", SomeApp.getStore().getOrderList());
// return "form/orderPage"};
// this is the code I am trying to translate below
#ResponseBody
public List<order> orderList(Map<String, Object> model) {
List<order> orderList = OrderService.findALl();
//orderRepository.findAll <- where does this come in? is it needed at all
return orderList;
}
If the Service layer is not being used, in my Repo do I only state
List<Order> findAll();
Additional Info:
Service layer is not used in this project and instead business logic will be in Controller (partly why I'm confused as to what code goes where)

Answer 1

You need to #Autowire the OrderRepository so that you can call orderRepository.findAll() in your Controller as shown below. For that, you also need to define the OrderRepository and Order Entity classes.
Controller:
#Controller
public class Controller {
#AutoWired
private OrderRepository orderRepository;
#RequestMapping("/")
#ResponseBody
public List<order> orderList(Map<String, Object> model) {
List<order> orderList = OrderService.findALl();
orderRepository.findAll();
return orderList;
}
}
Repository:
#Repository
public interface OrderRepository extends JpaRepository<Order, Integer> {
public Order findAll();
}
Entity:
#Entity
public class Order {
//add your entity fields with getters and setters
}
You can refer here for spring-data-jpa basic example.
