user9718365 :
I have a Question
Entity and Tag
entity with getter, setter methods and a OneToMany
relationship from question
to tag
and a OneToOne
relationship from question
to user
public class Question {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Long id;
@Column(name="title")
private String title;
@Column(name="body")
private String body;
@Temporal(TemporalType.DATE)
@Column(name="date_created")
private Date date_created;
@OneToOne(cascade=CascadeType.ALL)
@JoinColumn(name="user_id")
private User user;
@OneToMany(cascade=CascadeType.ALL)
@JoinColumn(name="tag_id")
private Tag tag;
@Column(name="answer_count")
private int answer_count;
@Column(name="view_count")
private int view_count;
public Question() {
}
Tag entity
public class Tag {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Long id;
@Column(name="name")
private String name;
@Column(name="username")
private String username;
@Temporal(TemporalType.DATE)
@Column(name="date_created")
private Date date_created;
public Tag() {
}
When I try to insert a question using Postman with the following details:
{
"title": "stefanyyyxx",
"body": "stefandoyee44",
"date_created": "2019-02-27",
"user_id" : 1,
"tag_id": 1,
"answer_count": 0,
"view_count": 0
}
QuestionRepository.java:
@Override
public void save(Question theQuestion) {
// get the current hibernate session
Session currentSession = entityManager.unwrap(Session.class);
// save employee
currentSession.saveOrUpdate(theQuestion);
}
Null values are being inserted for user_id
and tag_id
though I used JoinColumn()
.
MySQL:
KC7 :
As @Karol Dowbecki Suggested,
convert the JSON to DTO object and use that DTO to get the User
, Tag
Entities from their respective repositories.
Finally create the Question entity object and store it.
Question Entity
@Entity
@Table(name = "question")
public class Question {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Long id;
@Column(name = "title")
private String title;
@Column(name = "body")
private String body;
@Temporal(TemporalType.DATE)
@Column(name = "date_created")
private Date dateCreated;
@OneToOne(cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
@JoinColumn(name = "user_id")
private User user;
@OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
@JoinColumn(name = "tag_id")
private Set<Tag> tag;
@Column(name = "answer_count")
private int answerCount;
@Column(name = "view_count")
private int viewCount;
}
User Entity
@Entity
@Table(name = "user")
public class User {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Long id;
private String name;
}
Tag Entity
@Entity
@Table(name = "tag")
public class Tag {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Long id;
@Column(name = "name")
private String name;
@Column(name = "username")
private String username;
@Temporal(TemporalType.DATE)
@Column(name = "date_created")
private Date dateCreated;
}
DTO Class
public class QuestionDTO {
private Long id;
private String title;
private String body;
private Date dateCreated;
private Long user;
private Long tag;
private int answerCount;
private int viewCount;
}
Test Class
@Service
public class TestService {
@Autowired
private QuestionRepository questionRepository;
@Autowired
private UserRepository userRepository;
@Autowired
private TagRepository tagRepository;
public void addQuestion(QuestionDTO dto) {
Tag tag = null;
User user = null;
Question question = null;
Set<Tag> tags = null;
tag = tagRepository.findById(dto.getTag());
tags = new HashSet<>();
tags.add(tag);
user = userRepository.findById(dto.getUser());
question = new Question();
question.setTag(tags);
question.setUser(user);
question.setId(dto.getId());
question.setBody(dto.getBody());
question.setTitle(dto.getTitle());
question.setViewCount(dto.getViewCount());
question.setAnswerCount(dto.getAnswerCount());
question.setDateCreated(dto.getDateCreated());
questionRepository.save(question);
}
}
NOTE : The relation between Question
and Tag
are in OneToMany
you have to use Collection
type.
