How to pass the entity's domain to the repository layer - clean architecture and spring JPA

Question

According to Should I use a layer between service and repository for a clean architecture - Spring the Peristance layer is deprecated because the Repository is already an abstraction.

UML solution of the previous question

Product and ProductEntityJPA

But, in reality we have to use two entity :

• One for the domain entity Product
• One for the database entity ProductEntityJPA

The following UMl diagram represent the new solution. Please take note that the method save take now an ProductEntityJPA

How ProductService use ProductRepository ?

public ProductService {
    private ProductRepository productRepository;
void registerNewProduct(Product product) {
    productRepository.save( /* give a ProductEntityJPA */);
}

}

The ProductService class is aware of the JPA framework. We have therefore broken the rules that the Service layer is independent of any framework.

How to avoid dependencies between ProductService and ProductEntityJPA ?

Create a DTO

Inheritance

The ProductPersistanceDTO has to extend ProductEntityJPA because the method save in JPARepository is

public <S extends T> S save(S entity)

Solve the problem ?

So have you solve the problem, because by inheritance ProductService can access to the ProductEntityJPA ?

Create a new layer (Adapter pattern)

Come back to a solution with the persistance layer where the ProductGatewayImpl is an adapter

public ProductGatewayImpl {
    private ProductRepository productRepository;
void save(Product product) {
    productRepository.save(  transform(product) );
}

private ProductEntityJPA transform(Product product) {
    /* transform */
    return productEntityJPA;
}

}

What do you think

• Do you think that the Persistance layer is useless (url link) ?
• Do you think that the DTO is an solution (be aware of the inheritance) ?
• Do you think that the Peristance layer (gateway) is an solution ?
