Hello, I've been facing a fatal exception during application startup upon upgrading to Spring Boot 3.2.

The error message is

Failed to create query for method public abstract long com.example.jparepodemo.dao.RelatedToUserJpaRepository.deleteByIdAndUser_Username(java.lang.Object,java.lang.String); Cannot compare left expression of type 'java.lang.Long' with right expression of type 'java.lang.Object'

It seems to be related to using generics in JPA repositories.

Sample Application

Here is a link to a minimal application that reproduces the issue: https://github.com/ryerrappa/spring-data-jpa-generics-issue

There is also a branch in the above repo called working that shows a working application using a previous version of spring boot. Please note in the branch working, the application will still auto-shutdown, however the application starts up successfully.

This issue occurs when using the following:

• Spring Boot 3.2
• Hibernate 6.3, 6.4
• Java 21
• H2, Postgres

The issue did not occur when using the following:

• Spring Boot 2.7, 3.0, 3.1
• Hibernate default dependency versions
• Java 17
• H2, Postgres

Code causing issue

This points to a Spring Data JPA concern. Can you create this issue against the Spring Data JPA project?

Thanks!

Spring data Jpa is not support spring boot 3.2 and java 17. Jpa repository's saveAll() is not supported. It never gives error or any exception. But it can't do the functionality to saveAll() data to the DB.
