Get last records ordered by date on Spring Data

Question

I'm trying to define a method in a Spring Data repository to fetch the last records on a table ordered by date. This is my entity:

@Entity public class News {      @Id     @GeneratedValue     private Long id;      @Column(nullable = false)     private String title;      @Column(nullable = false)     private String text;      private Date publicationDate;      /* Getters and Setters */ } 

And this is my repository:

public interface NewsRepository extends JpaRepository<News, Long> {     List<News> findFirst5OrderByPublicationDateDesc(); } 

If I try to use launch the project I get the next error:

Caused by: org.springframework.data.mapping.PropertyReferenceException: No property desc found for type Date! Traversed path: News.publicationDate.

And if I remove the Desc I get this:

Caused by: java.util.NoSuchElementException

What I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

Turns out that the signature of the method was incorrect. The right one is:

findFirst5ByOrderByPublicationDateDesc() 

Is a little confusing because in the official samples they have this:

List<User> findTop10ByLastname(String lastname, Pageable pageable); 

As you can see there is only one By there, the usual one.
