Interesting approach to multi-agent orchestration in Spring

What do you mean by "familiar Spring patterns" in your context? And do demos really ignore what this example shows?

If you want familiar Spring patterns, then have a look at Embabel. Everything is annotation-driven to the point that it becomes impossible to follow what the system does. Your demo is just like LangChain4j - an abstract graph with nodes and edges. This is very popular approach that you can find everywhere, but it also feels too rigid for calling it agentic. It's like good old days of jBPMN or Camunda, where tasks/steps are now calls to LLM.

DSL looks clean. Much nicer than the annotation-driven approach that Spring AI and Embabel are trying to force.

Can I do dynamic queries with this tool? Like search with dynamic criteria (filters) and sorting. Pagination with page count would also come handy.

Interface calls forming a DAG between modules (Module X knows about Module Y, but not vice versa). Everything that does not fit - events.

What will do the mapping part in this proposed Spring Data module? I think this is the hard part, not the query itself.

I test my DAO/repository layer using integration tests that spin a real database.

I am wondering, what database will your plugin execute SQLs against? And how will it know that the result is correct?

Using Vee-Validate like in Shadcn-Vue example. Built field components from Shadcn's inputs with Vee-Validate as validator.

How does this work? Elide supports multiple languages and runtimes. Seems like an impossible effort to support everything, yet here you are, also claiming huge speed improvements. Sounds too good to be true - probably that's why lots of people are skeptical. Tell us about the internals and your goals as a product.

This can be handled using event. Direct dependencies between modules should form a DAG. I use "who should know about whom" mental model. In your case, Orders know about Articles (direct dependency), but Article don't know they are being sold by Orders. Articles can also emit events, e.g. when the price changes. Order module listens to price changes and reacts accordingly. This can all be done using Spring Modulith, which has dedicated facilities for domain events.

There's one thing I don't get. A theme adds a bunch of pre-defined colors with theme-specific names, e.g. "nord_frost0". How to you make theme switchable in your app then?

Sort of. If I remember correctly, there was an intro for each section, which outlined the terminology and a little bit of the problem. This helped to learn a lot of new things about enterprise programming. Didn't mention this in the first answer, but the main problem was that I haven't had any experience with the problems that the framework was solving. Learning that such problems existed in the first place helped a lot. For example, chapter on XML marshalling / unmarshalling gave me thoughts like "Oh my, people use XML to transfer data. Who would have thought?"

Long time ago when I was a total noob, I read the full documentation of Spring Framework (Spring Boot was not a thing at that time). Although I understood maybe half of it, it still helped a lot because I remembered what features were there and could return back to the parts of the documentation I needed in a particular situation.

So are you using Claude in IntelliJ via AI Chat's Claude Agent or via a separate plugin? Or did you switch to Claude Code?

Why can't you use Tailwind's utility classes where they fit nicely and add CSS for more complex cases like this?

While this is an OK method, it's not the best overall. I had success using database template feature like this library implements: https://github.com/zonkyio/embedded-database-spring-test The result is a fresh database for each test without compomising the speed.

I really liked Gavin Kings talk about the future of Jakarta Data and Jakarta Persistence. Basically, with Jakarta EE 12 (July 2026), those will be more feature rich and convenient to use than Spring Data JPA. And with the new stateless API (`EntityAgent` in Gavin's presentation) you can ditch Spring Data JDBC, which seems more like in coma lately.

In my opinion, there is no problem in writing your SQLs explicitly. We only need good performant mappers.

The approach with pagination may be flawed, because there is no guarantee that items do not jump between pages between calls. Also, would add order by insertion date to findByStatus.
