Error "Couldn't find PersistentEntity for type class" when attempting to return Non-PersistenceEntity data #2356
Description
Hi,
I'm currently developing a Spring Data REST application and I'm trying to figure out how to return the result of aggregate queries (non-PersistenceEntity collection as a return value). I've read the documentation, github issues and searched on stackoverflow, but I'm still having trouble understanding whether there is a way to get this working with Spring Data REST.
I can use either a simple bean class or a interface as a return type for @Query methods. However, I'm not entirely clear whether methods returning these types can be accessed using the REST API or only from the Java side/service layer.
Here is a simplified example of what I would like to do:
The return type should be a Collection of
either a simple bean:
@NoArgsConstructor
@AllArgsConstructor
public class TotalBalance {
private String customer;
private Long sum;
}or an interface:
public interface TotalBalance {
String getCustomer();
Long getSum();
}There might be a AccountRespository in which I want to have a aggregate method to sum up all the account balances and group by customers:
public interface AccountRepository extends JpaRepository<Account, Long> {
@Query(/* aggregate sums, group by customers */)
Collection<TotalBalance> getTotalBalancePerCustomer()
}I would like to perform this query by issueing a request to localhost:4444/accounts/search/getTotalBalancePerCustomer.
When I access the endpoint with the described method, I get the following error: org.springframework.data.mapping.MappingException: Couldn't find PersistentEntity for type class de.com.example.entities.Accounts.MyDto

I got this to work by creating a additional controller myself and calling getTotalBalancePerCustomer() from the Java/Service side, but this feels like a workaround to me.
I tried spring-boot-starter-rest 2.7.6 and 3.2.1 and the result is the same for both, so I suspect this feature might not exist or it is a design decision. I still want to be sure and maybe bring it up as a feature idea!
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
