In Spring Boot, how do you URL query properties of embedded objects?

Question

There is a Customer object and an Address object @Embedded inside of the Customer object. Address has the field USState and Customer has the field name.

When one does customers?name=Bob an Example object is constructed new Customer("name", null, null) but for customers?USState=IL the wrong Example object is constructed: new Customer(null, null, null) instead of new Customer(null, null, new Address(null, null, "IL", null)).

How does one persuade Spring Boot to recognize URL queries of properties of @Embedded objects, assuming the field names of Address do not collide with any of the field names of Customer?

What did you try? Please share a minimal reproducible example. — hc_dev

try with customers?addressUSState=IL considering that your Address object on Customer object has a field with name address.

customers?address.USState=IL does give the desired result, but there ought to be a way to get rid of the address
