Is there a way to use constants inside Spring Data @Query annotation value?

You have to use fully qualified class name like this:

@Query("SELECT u FROM UserModel u WHERE u.status = com.example.package.UserModel.STATUS_ACTIVE")

The bad thing about it though is that an IDE would not recognise this as an usage of the class UserModel. The only advantage is that you can keep the value in one place, which is sufficient most of the time. This has been resolved in IntelliJ IDEA 2017.1. I don’t know about other IDEs.
