I have a main Quarkus application with an EventBus which publishes a custom MyEvent class, and a Quarkus extension designed for the main application with a listener for these events.
My problem is : the extension does not know the MyEvent class, so it cannot read the events as anything else than basic Object. I need to access the MyEvent attributes values in the extension. Is there a way to achieve that ?
I tried redefining the MyEvent class in the extension (MyExtEvent) for brutal casting, but it did obviously not work.
Simplified main app code :
MyEvent :
public class MyEvent {
private String id;
private String data;
public MyEvent() {}
public String getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(String id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getData() {
return data;
}
public void setData(String data) {
this.data = data;
}
}
Service :
import io.vertx.mutiny.core.eventbus.EventBus;
import javax.enterprise.context.ApplicationScoped;
import javax.inject.Inject;
#ApplicationScoped
public class MyServiceBean implements MyService {
#Inject
EventBus bus;
public void notify(MyEvent event) {
bus.publish("audit", event);
}
}
Simplified extension code :
MyExtEvent :
public class MyExtEvent {
private String id;
private String data;
public MyExtEvent() {}
public String getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(String id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getData() {
return data;
}
public void setData(String data) {
this.data = data;
}
}
Listener :
import io.quarkus.vertx.ConsumeEvent;
import javax.enterprise.context.RequestScoped;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
#RequestScoped
public class EventsListener {
private static final Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(EventsListener.class.getName());
#ConsumeEvent(value = "audit")
public void consume(Object oevent) {
LOGGER.log(Level.FINE, "Event received : " + oevent.toString());
MyExtEvent event = (MyExtEvent) oevent;
// Do stuff with "id" and "data" fields
LOGGER.log(Level.FINE, "Event id : " + event.getId());
LOGGER.log(Level.FINE, "Event data : " + event.getData());
}
}
Casting exception received after the logging line :
java.lang.ClassCastException: class <main app path>.MyEvent cannot be cast to class <extension path>.MyExtEvent (<main app path>.MyEvent is in unnamed module of loader io.quarkus.bootstrap.classloading.QuarkusClassLoader #79d9214d; <extension path>.MyExtEvent is in unnamed module of loader io.quarkus.bootstrap.classloading.QuarkusClassLoader #3c22fc4c)

for instance, I have a table with different locations and their description too. Now I need to print the locations which have descriptions on one page or in one box and simultaneously the locations which do not have descriptions should be displayed on another page.
NOTE:
this has to be done by using spring concept only
for reference, I was able to print the locations which have no descriptions in the below fashion.

MySql Database
That's my first project with Spring Boot implemented. I tried going step by step with official Spring tutorial but I'm stuck with a problem that I can't find any answer about.
Whenever I try to call findAll() or find() method on my repository it returns empty array [].
Even with manual preloading enitites like done in tutorial and immediately trying to display database content I get the same result.
I can guess I'm missing something silly, but I can't figure it out for some hours now. What's the cause? Tomcat/jpa/spring version mismatch? Missing annotation somewhere?
Here's my AnimalRepository.java
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;
#Repository
public interface AnimalRepository extends JpaRepository<Animal, Long> {
}
LoadDatabase.java
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
import org.springframework.boot.CommandLineRunner;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional;
#Configuration
class LoadDatabase {
private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(LoadDatabase.class);
#Bean
CommandLineRunner initDatabase(AnimalRepository repository) {
return args -> {
log.info("Preloading " + repository.save(new Lion("Bilbo")));
log.info("Preloading " + repository.save(new Lion("Frodo")));
log.info(repository.findAll().toString()); //try to log content to console
};
}
}
The logging above basically ends up with this console output:
logging result
Probably not as important, but AnimalController.java
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*;
import java.util.List;
#RestController
public class AnimalController {
private final AnimalRepository repository;
AnimalController(AnimalRepository repository) {
this.repository = repository;
}
#GetMapping("/animals")
List<Animal> all() {
repository.save(new Lion("Bilbo")); //this doesn't work either
return repository.findAll();
}
#PostMapping("/animals")
Animal newAnimal(#RequestBody Animal newAnimal) {
return repository.save(newAnimal);
}
#GetMapping("/animals/{id}")
Animal one(#PathVariable Long id) {
return repository.findById(id)
.orElseThrow(() -> new AnimalNotFoundException(id));
}
#PutMapping("/animals/{id}")
Animal replaceAnimal(#RequestBody Animal newAnimal, #PathVariable Long id) {
return repository.findById(id)
.map(animal -> {
animal.setName(newAnimal.getName());
animal.setSpecies(newAnimal.getSpecies());
return repository.save(animal);
})
.orElseGet(() -> {
newAnimal.setId(id);
return repository.save(newAnimal);
});
}
#DeleteMapping("/animals/{id}")
void deleteAnimal(#PathVariable Long id) {
repository.deleteById(id);
}
}
And the finally Lion.java
import jakarta.persistence.Entity;

I tried switching JpaRepository to CrudRepository, but that didn't work out.
I think the problem here is that your data haven't been saved to the database, because of the transaction. try to change your repository.save() to repository.saveAndFlush()
I am building REST API using spring boot application. I have connected application to Mongodb database. I have created a database named "Employee" and collection as "Employee" itself. Now i want to create a document. I have three class. Class A, Class B and class C.
Class A is the parent Class having property (id,name,password). Class B is child class and extends Class A with property(address,phoneNumber) and class C is child class which also extends class A with property (fatherName,MotherName).
Now i want to add the data to database as object of B or object of C and also want to retrive the data from database as object of B or Object of C.
here is code of Class A:
package com.example.webproject;
import org.springframework.data.annotation.Id;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.mapping.Document;
#Document(collection="Employee")
public class A {
#Id
private String id;
private String passwd;
private String username;
public String getId() {
return id;
}
public void setIp(String string) {
this.ip = string;
}
public String getPasswd() {
return passwd;
}
public void setPasswd(String passwd) {
this.passwd = passwd;
}
public String getUsername() {
return username;
}
public void setUsername(String username) {
this.username = username;
}
class B:
package com.example.webproject;
public class B extends A {
private String address;
private String phoneNumber;
public String getAddress() {
return address;
}
public void setAddress(String address) {
this.address = address;
}
public String getPhoneNumber() {
return phoneNumber;
}
public void setPhoneNumber(String phoneNumber) {
this.phoneNumber= phoneNumber;
}
}
Class C :
package com.example.webproject;
public class C extends A {
private String fatherName;
private String motherName;
public String getFatherName() {
return fatherName;
}
public void setFatherName(String fatherName) {
this.fatherName = fatherName;
}
public String getMotherName() {
return motherName;
}
public void setMotherName(String motherName) {
this.motherName = motherName;
}
}
EmployeeRepository.java
package com.example.webproject;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.repository.MongoRepository;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;
#Repository
public interface EmployeeRepository extends MongoRepository<A,String> {}
EmployeeController.java
#RestController
public class EmployeeController {
#Autowired
private EmployeeRepository repo;
#PostMapping("/addByB")
public String addDataByB(#RequestBody B res) {
repo.save(res);
return "added";
}
#PostMapping("/addByC")
public String addDataByC(#RequestBody C res) {
repo.save(res);
return "added";
}
#GetMapping("/getByB")
public List<B> getDataByB(){
List<B> b= repo.findAll(); #Here it throws error because repo.findAll return object of A.
return b;
}
When i try to add data as B object or C object using swagger , the data is getting stored in database. Now i want to retrieve the data as B object or C object, how to achieve this?
Because you just create Repository of class A and call it, you nedd to creat two another repo of class B and C then call them like you call " EmployeeRepository " so you can use them and get the data.
I am building a simple REST service using spring. I separated my entities from DTOs and I made the DTOs immutable using Immutables. I needed mapping between DTOs and DAOs, so I chose MapStruct. The Mapper is not able to detect the setters I have defined in my DAOs.
The problem is exactly similar to this question. This question does not have an accepted answer and I have tried all of the suggestions in that question and they don't work. I don't want to try this answer because I feel it defeats the purpose for which I am using Immutables. #marc-von-renteln summarizes this reason nicely in the comment here
I tried the answer provided by #tobias-schulte. But that caused a different problem. In the Mapper class in the answer, trying to return Immutable*.Builder from the mapping method throws an error saying the Immutable type cannot be found.
I have exhaustively searched issues logged against MapStruct and Immutables and I haven't been able to find a solution. Unfortunately there are hardly few examples or people using a combination of MapStruct and Immutables. The mapstruct-examples repository also doesn't have an example for working with Immutables.
I even tried defining separate Mapper interfaces for each of the DtTOs (like UserStatusMapper). I was only making it more complicated with more errors.
I have created a sample spring project to demonstrate the problem.
GitHub Repo Link. This demo app is almost same as the REST service I am creating. All database (spring-data-jpa , hibernate) stuff is removed and I am using mock data.
If you checkout the project and run the demo-app you can make two API calls.
GetUser:

Below are important pieces of code related to problem:
Daos:
1. UserDao
public class User {
// Primary Key. Something that is annotated with #Id
private int id;
private String username;
private String email;
private UserStatus userStatus;
private User(Builder builder) {
id = builder.id;

return this;
}
public Builder setUserStatus(UserStatus userStatus) {
this.userStatus = userStatus;
return this;
}
public User build() {
return new User(this);
}
2. UserStatusDao:
package com.immutablesmapstruct.demo.dao.model;
/**
* Status of user.
* Example: Active or Inactive
*/
public class UserStatus {
// Primary Key. Something that is annotated with #Id
private int id;
// A value of 1 or 0
private int status;
// Active , InActive
private String statusName;
private UserStatus(Builder builder) {
id = builder.id;
status = builder.status;
statusName = builder.statusName;
}
public static Builder builder() {
return new Builder();
}
public int getId() {
return id;
}
public int getStatus() {
return status;
}
public String getStatusName() {
return statusName;
}
public static final class Builder {
private int id;
private int status;
private String statusName;
private Builder() {
}
public Builder setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
return this;
}
public Builder setStatus(int status) {
this.status = status;
return this;
}
public Builder setStatusName(String statusName) {
this.statusName = statusName;
return this;
}
public UserStatus build() {
return new UserStatus(this);
}
}
}
DTOs
1. UserDto:
package com.immutablesmapstruct.demo.dto.model;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonProperty;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.annotation.JsonDeserialize;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.annotation.JsonSerialize;
import org.immutables.value.Value;
#Value.Immutable
#Value.Style(defaults = #Value.Immutable(copy = false), init = "set*")
#JsonSerialize(as = ImmutableUserDto.class)
#JsonDeserialize(builder = ImmutableUserDto.Builder.class)
public abstract class UserDto {
#Value.Default
#JsonProperty
public int id() {
return 0;
}
#JsonProperty
public abstract String username();
#JsonProperty
public abstract String email();
#JsonProperty
public abstract UserStatusDto userStatus();
2. UserStatusDto:
package com.immutablesmapstruct.demo.dto.model;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonProperty;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.annotation.JsonDeserialize;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.annotation.JsonSerialize;
import org.immutables.value.Value;
#Value.Immutable
#Value.Style(defaults = #Value.Immutable(copy = false), init = "set*")
#JsonSerialize(as = ImmutableUserStatusDto.class)
#JsonDeserialize(builder = ImmutableUserStatusDto.Builder.class)
public abstract class UserStatusDto {
#JsonProperty
public abstract int id();
#JsonProperty
public abstract int status();
#JsonProperty
public abstract String statusName();
}
MapStruct UserMapper:
package com.immutablesmapstruct.demo.dto.mapper;
import com.immutablesmapstruct.demo.dao.model.User;
import com.immutablesmapstruct.demo.dao.model.UserStatus;
import com.immutablesmapstruct.demo.dto.model.UserDto;
import com.immutablesmapstruct.demo.dto.model.UserStatusDto;
import org.mapstruct.Mapper;
import org.mapstruct.factory.Mappers;
#Mapper(componentModel = "spring")
public interface UserMapper {
UserMapper USER_MAPPER_INSTANCE = Mappers.getMapper(UserMapper.class);
UserDto userDaoToDto(User user);
//Problem here.
User userDtoToDao(UserDto userDto);
UserStatusDto userStatusDaoToDto(UserStatus userStatusDao);
UserStatus userStatusDtoToDao(UserStatusDto userStatusDto);
}
If I look at the concrete method generated by MapStruct for userDtoToDao I can clearly see that the setters are not being recognized.
package com.immutablesmapstruct.demo.dto.mapper;
#Generated(
value = "org.mapstruct.ap.MappingProcessor",
date = "2019-04-28T02:29:03-0700",
comments = "version: 1.3.0.Final, compiler: javac, environment: Java 1.8.0_191 (Oracle Corporation)"
)
#Component
public class UserMapperImpl implements UserMapper {
...
...
#Override
public User userDtoToDao(UserDto userDto) {
if ( userDto == null ) {
return null;
}
com.immutablesmapstruct.demo.dao.model.User.Builder user = User.builder();
return user.build();
}
....
....
}
Mapstruct doesn't recognize your getters in UserDto and UserStatusDto.
When you change the existing methods (like public abstract String username()) in these abstract classes to classic getters like
#JsonProperty("username")
public abstract String getUsername();
the MapperImpl will contain the required calls. Note, that the #JsonProperty needs to have the attributes name itself afterwards (because of the changed method name).
Here are the complete classes UserDto and UserStatusDto with said changes:
package com.immutablesmapstruct.demo.dto.model;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonProperty;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.annotation.JsonDeserialize;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.annotation.JsonSerialize;
import org.immutables.value.Value;
#Value.Immutable
#Value.Style(defaults = #Value.Immutable(copy = false), init = "set*")
#JsonSerialize(as = ImmutableUserDto.class)
#JsonDeserialize(builder = ImmutableUserDto.Builder.class)
public abstract class UserDto {
#Value.Default
#JsonProperty("id")
public int getId() {
return 0;
}
#JsonProperty("username")
public abstract String getUsername();
#JsonProperty("email")
public abstract String getEmail();
#JsonProperty("userStatus")
public abstract UserStatusDto getUserStatus();
}
package com.immutablesmapstruct.demo.dto.model;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonProperty;

#Value.Immutable
#Value.Style(defaults = #Value.Immutable(copy = false), init = "set*")
#JsonSerialize(as = ImmutableUserStatusDto.class)

public abstract class UserStatusDto {
#JsonProperty("id")
public abstract int getId();
#JsonProperty("status")
public abstract int getStatus();
#JsonProperty("statusName")
public abstract String getStatusName();
}
I am getting this exception every time i try to query a view on Couchbase DB from my spring boot application.
Unsupported parameter type for key: class com.couchbase.client.protocol.views.Query.
I was setting a string on setKey() method of Query class, got an exception. But then I checked the API and provided a json to setKey, still not working. Have searched a lot but could not get this to work.
I am sharing the code snippet in this post as well.

View by_Name on CouchBase DB

Which version of spring-data-couchbase are you using? Starting with 2.x, the #Query annotation uses query derivation and you cannot use a ViewQuery as a parameter anymore... Have a look at the docs, on query derivation with a view.
You could probably use the CouchbaseTemplate to perform a manual query though.
