TL;DR:

Starting with Spring Data JDBC 3.2.0-M2, Spring Data JDBC supports Single Query Loading. Single Query Loading loads arbitrary aggregates with a single select statement.

To enable Single Query Loading you need to call setSingleQueryLoadingEnabled(true) on your RelationalMappingContext.

In 3.2.0-M2, this works only for simple aggregates, consisting of an aggregate root and a single collection of other entities. It is also limited to the findAll, findById, and findAllByIds methods in CrudRepository. Future versions will improve on that.

Vegas is a dizzying, sensational, overwhelming, exciting experience, and SpringOne is too. But it was worth it. The SpringOne show surpassed all expectations, so it was definitely worth it.

This overwhelming scale was nowhere more evident than in the keynote, which was standing room only. I can't really recap the entire show, but I do want to talk about some of the huge themes you'd have seen addressed in the keynote.

During the keynote, the good…
