311-frameworks-spring-jdbc

This Claude Code skill guides safe and modern Spring JDBC development using JdbcClient (Spring Framework 7+) as the default API, with fallback to JdbcTemplate or NamedParameterJdbcTemplate for legacy code. Use it when reviewing or writing Java data access code to ensure parameterized SQL, proper transaction boundaries, SQL injection prevention, batch operations, generated key handling, and appropriate exception handling across all JDBC patterns.

# Spring JDBC — JdbcClient (Spring Framework 7+)

Apply Spring JDBC guidelines with JdbcClient as the default; use JdbcTemplate / NamedParameterJdbcTemplate only for legacy code or APIs not covered by JdbcClient (batch updates, KeyHolder, RowCallbackHandler streaming).

**What is covered in this Skill?**

- Parameterized SQL (never concatenate user input)
- JdbcClient fluent API (Spring Framework 7+) — preferred for queries and updates
- Named parameters via JdbcClient; NamedParameterJdbcTemplate for legacy migration
- RowMapper, query(Class), and records
- Batch operations and generated keys (JdbcTemplate / JdbcOperations where needed)
- Safe handling of generated keys (KeyHolder; single-row JdbcClient updates)
- Service-layer @Transactional boundaries
- Read-only transactions (@Transactional(readOnly = true))
- Safe single-row access (optional() / findFirst() vs queryForObject)
- Streaming large result sets (RowCallbackHandler, ResultSetExtractor)
- DataAccessException handling (DuplicateKeyException, EmptyResultDataAccessException)
- @JdbcTest slice testing with @Sql fixtures

**Scope:** Apply recommendations based on the reference rules and good/bad code examples.

## Constraints

Before applying any Spring JDBC changes, ensure the project compiles. If compilation fails, stop immediately. After applying improvements, run full verification.

- **MANDATORY**: Run `./mvnw compile` or `mvn compile` before applying any change
- **SAFETY**: If compilation fails, stop immediately
- **VERIFY**: Run `./mvnw clean verify` or `mvn clean verify` after applying improvements
- **SQL INJECTION**: Never concatenate untrusted input into SQL strings — always use bind parameters
- **BEFORE APPLYING**: Read the reference for detailed rules and good/bad patterns

## When to use this skill

- Review Java code for Spring JDBC (JdbcTemplate, JdbcClient, NamedParameterJdbcTemplate)
- Apply best practices for Spring JDBC data access in Java code
- Detect and fix SQL injection risks in JDBC code
- Improve transaction boundaries or exception handling for JDBC operations

## Workflow

1. **Read reference and assess project context**

Read `references/311-frameworks-spring-jdbc.md` and inspect the current project setup before proposing changes.

2. **Gather scope and decide target improvements**

Identify requested outcomes, constraints, and the minimum safe set of changes to apply.

3. **Apply framework-aligned changes**

Implement or refactor configuration/code following the reference patterns and project conventions.

4. **Run verification and report results**

Execute appropriate build/tests and summarize what changed, what was verified, and any follow-up actions.
