methodAnnotations

The additional annotations to be placed on generated methods.

Goes on every generated method of every repository, which limits it to annotations that make sense everywhere — a metrics @Timed, a @SuppressWarnings.

Resist putting @Transactional here. It would open a transaction per statement, which is the opposite of what a transaction is for; transactions belong to the service calling several statements, and transactions covers how a repository joins one.

To annotate one statement rather than all of them, use annotations in its front matter.

Configuration Options

Option: ‘io.micrometer.core.annotation.Timed’

Every statement is measured:

package com.example.persistence;

import io.micrometer.core.annotation.Timed;

public final class TenantRepository {

    @Timed
    public Optional<Tenant> findTenant(final UUID id) {
        // ... rest of generated code
    }

}

Gradle

In order to use YoSQL together with Gradle , take a look at the tooling documentation for Gradle . The methodAnnotations setting can be configured using Gradle in Kotlin syntax like this:

plugins {
  java
  id("wtf.metio.yosql") version "2026.8.8"
}

yosql {
  annotations {
    methodAnnotations.set(configValue)
  }
}

or in Groovy syntax like this:

plugins {
  id "java"
  id "wtf.metio.yosql" version "2026.8.8"
}

yosql {
  annotations {
    methodAnnotations = configValue
  }
}

Maven

In order to use YoSQL together with Maven , take a look at the tooling documentation for Maven . The methodAnnotations setting can be configured using Maven like this:

<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>wtf.metio.yosql.tooling</groupId>
      <artifactId>yosql-tooling-maven</artifactId>
      <version>2026.8.8</version>
      <configuration>
        <annotations>
          <methodAnnotations>configValue</methodAnnotations>
        </annotations>
      </configuration>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
