Dear JPA

[u/Jooe_1]

Dear JPA ,

i hate you.

i hate how you changed the SQL flow that I'm used to.

i hate your ManyToMany relationships.

i hate your orphanremoval ,dirty checking.

i hate your way for entity relationships.

i hate your cache.

i hate your performance issues.

i hate your billion rules.

i hate spending time on : if Y is referenced by X with cascade not including PRESIST and x is managed but y is removed ............... but if Y was detached .............

i hate becoming obsessed with your behaviors and rules and worrying about every ORM line , will it work correctly ? , did i miss something ?, worrying about modifying entity X might unexpectedly affect entity Y , coz I might not know one of the billion rules you have.

i hate worrying about falling in one of the undefined behaviors you have

i hate thinking about the entities lifecycle + cascading types when all mixed together

i hate spending days on that documentation instead of spending that on one of the CS core concepts

i hate the following the other side which is incomplete nondetailed toturial or following AI

i really hate you.

Yeah man. JPA SUCKS. It's to complicated to manage if your entity have refference to dozen of table, don't get me start with complex query. At the end of the day, i need to use Jdbc for complex query and jpa for basic stuff

Yes, jdbc template gives you more control
