In Java Persistence API (JPA) development, the flexibility and dynamism of queries play a pivotal role, especially when dealing with dynamic search interfaces or scenarios where the query structure is known only at runtime. The JPA Criteria Query emerges as a powerful tool for constructing such dynamic queries, allowing developers to define complex search criteria programmatically.
One critical aspect of real-world applications, particularly those involving user interfaces for specific record searches, is the implementation of pagination. Pagination not only enhances the user experience by presenting results in manageable chunks but also contributes to resource optimization on the application side.
