Pagination in Spring Data JPA (limit and offset)

Below code should do it. I am using in my own project and tested for most cases.

usage:

   Pageable pageable = new OffsetBasedPageRequest(offset, limit);
   return this.dataServices.findAllInclusive(pageable);

and the source code:

import org.apache.commons.lang3.builder.EqualsBuilder;
import org.apache.commons.lang3.builder.HashCodeBuilder;
import org.apache.commons.lang3.builder.ToStringBuilder;
import org.springframework.data.domain.AbstractPageRequest;
import org.springframework.data.domain.Pageable;
import org.springframework.data.domain.Sort;

import java.io.Serializable;

        }

        if (limit < 1) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Limit must not be less than one!");
        }
        this.limit = limit;
        this.offset = offset;
        this.sort = sort;
    }
