Answer 1

First "BusinessDAO" is a repository. As far in your code I saw dependency injection process is not implemented in a right way. Try this and let me know.
#Add this compiler plugin in maven dependency
<compilerPlugins>
<plugin>jpa</plugin>
</compilerPlugins>
#Application class
#SpringBootApplication
class ApiApplication
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
runApplication<ApiApplication>(*args)
}
#Domain class
#Entity
class Business(
#Id
#Column(columnDefinition = "uuid")
val id: UUID,
#Column
val name: String
)
#Service class
#Service
class BusinessServiceImpl #Autowired constructor(val businessDAO: BusinessDAO) : BusinessService {
override
fun save(addBusinessRequest: AddBusinessRequest): Business? {
return businessDAO.save(addBusinessRequest.toBusiness())
}
fun AddBusinessRequest.toBusiness(): Business {
return Business(UUID.randomUUID(), name = "Name of business")
}
fun UpdateBusinessRequest.toBusiness(): Business {
return Business(
id = UUID.randomUUID(),
name = "Updated business")
}
}
#Business Service class
interface BusinessService {
open fun save(addBusinessRequest: AddBusinessRequest): Business?
}
