Scanning by nested properties seems to not work

Hi.

If I run this by command line I get results:

aws dynamodb scan --table-name Person --filter-expression "address.countryCode = :value" --expression-attribute-values '{":value":{"S":"ES"}}' --endpoint-url http://localhost:8000

See that I’m searching by person.address.countryCode.

Ok, I have Person configured with @DynamoDBTable and the address attribute with @DynamoDBDocument. Then, in PersonRepository, I have:

@EnableScan List<Person> findByAddressCountryCode( @Param("addressCountryCode") String addressCountryCode);

But when I execute the method in JUnit, it doesn’t return anything. Debugging, I see that in DynamoDBScanExpression, only scanFilter attribute is used, and not expressionAttributeNames and expressionAttributeValues, like by command line. The thing is that I cannot see which request is sent to my local dynamodb server. Maybe it is sending the key/value [countryCode / ES] instead of [address.countryCode / ES]. I’m suspecting that because I see (debugging) that in ScanRequestMarshaller, tableName is set to Person and scanFilterMap contains the field countryCode, which doesn’t correspond to Person but to Person.Address

Could anyone tell me if it is an already known problem or what I’m doing wrong?

NOTE: other JUnit methods that test other repository methods over Person works without problem. But always over basic attributes like Number or String.

Regards.

I would like to query using filter expressions too. Is there any update on this issue?

@derjust Do we have any update for this issue? I mean I am also facing the similar issue…I would like to query based on nested DynamoDB document and List of nested DynamoDB document. Any help would be really appreciated.
