I'm having a hard time getting the tests to pass on Pivotal's example project for the spring-boot 1.4 release from their examples which shows spring-data-jpa using unannotated named parameters in its JPQL
e.g.
from example.springdata.jpa.simple.SimpleUserRepository
@Query("select u from User u where u.firstname = :firstname") List<User> findByFirstname(String firstname);
NB it is not using the @Param annotation
This doesn't run on my machine. I get the exception detailed here, which is self-explanatory from the title.
So I have to do this instead:
@Query("select u from User u where u.firstname = ?1")
List<User> findByFirstname(String firstname);
or this:
@Query("select u from User u where u.firstname = :firstname")
List<User> findByFirstname(@Param("firstname") String firstname);
What I'm using:
So have I got something wrong the way I set up the examples?
Did spring-data-jpa include some cool feature at one time to auto-detect param names that for some reason got removed later?
org.springframework.dao.InvalidDataAccessApiUsageException: Name for parameter binding must not be null or empty! For named parameters you need to use @Param for query method parameters on Java versions < 8.; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Name for parameter binding must not be null or empty! For named parameters you need to use @Param for query method parameters on Java versions < 8.

By default, interfaces do not retain parameter name information — in no Java version, even not with the debug flag set. Java 8 however added a feature to enable the retention of parameter information for all types through a new -parameters compiler flag that needs to be set explicitly.
See an example of this in the Spring Data examples repository.
