Post Request with Enum and composite key - spring

Question

I'm working on an exercise where i have to create CRUD operations.
I have a User table, a Role table and a UserRole table where i have the primary keys of those two entities.
I also have a RoleEnum with roles that have to be assigned to the User.
The problem that i'm gettin is that every time I insert a new user is a 200ok response but the role returns null and so it doesn't add it to the UserRole table as well.
I need help in solving the problem.
User Entity
#Data
#Entity
#NoArgsConstructor
#AllArgsConstructor
#Table(name = "utente")
public class Utente implements Serializable {
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private long matricola;
#Column(nullable = false)
private String nome;
#Column(nullable = false)
private String cognome;
#Column(nullable = false)
private String email;
#Column(name = "ruoloUtente", nullable = false)
#OneToMany(mappedBy = "matricolaUtente")
#JsonIgnore
private List<UtenteRuolo> ruoloUtente;
}
Role Entity
#Data
#Entity
#NoArgsConstructor
#AllArgsConstructor
#Table(name = "ruolo")
public class Ruolo implements Serializable {
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private long id;
#Column(name = "tipo_ruolo")
private String nome;
#Column(name = "utente_ruolo")
#OneToMany(mappedBy = "nomeRuolo")
private Set<UtenteRuolo> utenteRuolo;
}
UserRole class
#Data
#NoArgsConstructor
#AllArgsConstructor
#Entity
#Table(name = "utente_ruolo")
public class UtenteRuolo implements Serializable {
#EmbeddedId
private UtenteRuoloId utenteRuoloId;
#ManyToOne
#MapsId("matricola")
#JoinColumn(name = "matricola_utente", nullable = false)
private Utente matricolaUtente;
#ManyToOne
#MapsId("id")
#JoinColumn(name = "nome_ruolo", nullable = false)
private Ruolo nomeRuolo;
}
UserRoleId class
#Embeddable
#Data
#EqualsAndHashCode
#AllArgsConstructor
#NoArgsConstructor
public class UtenteRuoloId implements Serializable {
#Column(name = "matricola")
private Long matricola;
#Column(name = "id")
private Long id;
}
RoleEnum class
public enum RuoliEnum {
#JsonProperty
REFERENTE("REFERENTE"),
CONSULTATORE("CONSULTATORE"),
APPROVATORE("APPROVATORE");
#JsonProperty
private String value;
RuoliEnum(String value) { this.value = value; }
#JsonCreator
public static RuoliEnum fromValue(String text) {
for (RuoliEnum ruoli: RuoliEnum.values()) {
if (String.valueOf(ruoli.value).equalsIgnoreCase(text.trim())) {
return ruoli;
}
}
return null;
}
}
I also have all DTO's and the UserDTO has the RoleEnum instead of the List of class UserRole.
UserService
#Service
public class UtenteService {
#Autowired
private UtenteRepository utenteRepository;
#Autowired
private UtenteMap utenteMap;
public UtenteDto addUtente(UtenteDto utente) {
Utente u = utenteMap.fromDtoToModel(utente);
if(u != null) {
return utenteMap.fromModelToDto(utenteRepository.save(u));
}
return null;
}
UserController
#RestController
#RequestMapping("utente")
public class UtenteController {
#Autowired
private UtenteService utenteService;
#PostMapping("/addUtente")
public ResponseEntity addUtente(#Nullable #RequestBody UtenteDto utente) {
if(utente != null) {
return ResponseEntity.ok(utenteService.addUtente(utente));
} else {
return ResponseEntity.badRequest().body("utente non inserito correttamente");
}
}
this is a postman insert example:
{
"matricola" : 11,
"nome" : "aaa",
"cognome" : "bb",
"email" : "eee#mail.com",
"ruolo" : "APPROVATORE"
}
and this is the postman response with 200ok status:
{
"matricola": 11,
"nome": "aaa",
"cognome": "bb",
"email": "eee#mail.com",
"ruolo": null
}
the code doesn't tell me about any kind of error and i need to keep the UserRole table because it's required for this kind of exercise.
I tried everything I could but since I never worked like this with enums and this kind of table relations I don't know what's missing to complete it.
