How create JPA query with dynamicly parameters?

Question

I have this method:

 public List<User> getReport(String name, int age, String sName, Date bd, 

     String address, String msg2, int first, int pageSize) {
     List<User> result = new ArrayList<>();
     result = em.createQuery("from User u, User.class)
                    .setFirstResult(first)
                    .setMaxResults(pageSize)
                    .getResultList();
     return result;
    }

Now, this method return all data. I need sett dynamicly parameters. I can make this:

result = em.createQuery("from User u WHERE u.age = :age", User.class)
                    .setParameter("age", age)
                    .setFirstResult(first)
                    .setMaxResults(pageSize)
                    .getResultList();

But if my age is null - I dont get result. And with another fields.

I need somethign like:

if(age != null){
em.createQuery("from User u WHERE u.age = :age", User.class)
                        .setParameter("age", age)
}

if(name!= null){
em.createQuery("from User u WHERE u.age = :age AND u.name= :name", User.class)
                        .setParameter("age", age)
}

I can format string query like:

String query = "from User u WHER";

and them concate this string

if(age != null){
query = query +"u.age = :age";
em.createQuery("from User u WHERE u.age = :age", User.class)
                        .setParameter("age", age)
}

But I thing it is bad practice.

All parameters are picking up the map, as I create a dynamic query.

You can try:

public List<User> getReport(String name, Integer age, String sName, Date bd, 

 String address, String msg2, int first, int pageSize) {

    Map<String, Object> paramaterMap = new HashMap<String, Object>();
    List<String> whereClause = new ArrayList<String>();

    StringBuilder queryBuilder = new StringBuilder();
    queryBuilder.append("select u from User u ");

    if (!name.isEmpty()){
        whereClause.add(" u.name =:name ");
        paramaterMap.put("category", category);
    }
    if (age != null){
        whereClause.add(" u.age =:age ");
        paramaterMap.put("age", age);
    }
   if (!sName.isEmpty()){
        whereClause.add(" u.sName =:sName ");
        paramaterMap.put("sName", sName);
    }
    if (bd != null){
        whereClause.add(" u.bd =:bd ");
        paramaterMap.put("bd", bd);
    }
    if (!address.isEmpty()){
        whereClause.add(" u.address =:address ");
        paramaterMap.put("address", address);
    }
   if (!msg2.isEmpty()){
        whereClause.add(" u.msg2 =:msg2 ");
        paramaterMap.put("msg2", msg2);
    }

    queryBuilder.append(" where " + StringUtils.join(whereClause, " and "));
    Query jpaQuery = entityManager.createQuery(queryBuilder.toString());

    for(String key :paramaterMap.keySet()) {
            jpaQuery.setParameter(key, paramaterMap.get(key));
    }

    jpaQuery.setFirstResult(first)
    jpaQuery.setMaxResults(pageSize)

    return  jpaQuery.getResultList();
}
