JPA Entity class which is not mapped to any table - spring-boot

I am using a entity class for mixing two/three table columns in one entity to hold an outcome of SYS_REFCURSOR in oracle
This allows me to have single class which is not mapped to any table but it still is an Entity
#Data
#Entity
#NoArgsConstructor
class EmployeeDetails {
#Id
#Column("emp_id")
String empId;
#Column("job_name")
String jobName;
#Column("dept_name")
String deptName;
//Future requirement
//String updatedBy
}
Now I have an additional requirement, to add who last modified the employee table, I don't want modify the procedure now, the procedure is being re-used in another background procedure and batch jobs.
My question is, is it possible to use #ManyToOne on this class which is obviously not mapped to any table
If not how do avoid manually looping a child array list, is there a ready made option in JPA or spring boot to achieve that.
Or what will be the smartest/recommended way to bring the below Entity into this class
#Data
#Entity
#NoArgsConstructor
#Table(name="app_users")
class AppUsers {
#Id
#Column(name="user_id")
String userId;
#Column
String userName;
}

#Transient, check how this annotation works it will resolve the issue, you need to understand working of #Transient

My spring boot 2.6.2 EntityManager code is as follows
q = em.createStoredProcedureQuery("MY_PROC",EmployeeDetails.class);
q.registerStoredProcedureParameter("OUT_REFC", void.class, ParameterMode.REF_CURSOR);
q.execute();
q.getResultList()
I have modified my class EmployeeDetails as below
#Data
#Entity
#NoArgsConstructor
class EmployeeDetails {
#Id
#Column("emp_id")
String empId;
#Column("job_name")
String jobName;
#Column("dept_name")
String deptName;
#OneToOne
#JoinColumn(
name="user_id",
referencedColumnName="emp_id",
insertable=false,
updatable=false,
nullable=true
)
AppUsers updatedBy;
}
The log prints Hibernate two times one after one as below, first it calls the proc and then it calls the select query, so, I did not wrote that SQL myself, the JPA layer is taking care of it
Hibernate:
{call MY_PROC(?)}
Hibernate:
select
...
...
from app_users
where user_id=?
so, my expectation achieved and I am getting the values

Document field as primary key not working

I have a "document" field that needs to be a primary key and must be unique, but every time I do a POST with the same document it updates the document and doesn't send a BAD_REQUEST
My entity:
#Entity
#Data
#NoArgsConstructor
#AllArgsConstructor
#Table(uniqueConstraints={#UniqueConstraint(columnNames={"document"})})
public class Cliente {
#Id
#Column(unique=true, updatable = false)
#NotBlank #NotNull
private String document;
#NotBlank
private String name;
#NotNull
private LocalDateTime date;
}
When I try to make a new POST with the same document it just updates what is saved in the database.
"Hibernate: update client set date=?, name=? where document=?"
The problem is that Spring Data JPA, when you call Repository#save, assumes that you want to update an existing entity when the passed in entity object has the id attribute set. You will have to inject a EntityManager in your code and instead call EntityManager#persist if you want to make sure that Hibernate tries to do an insert, in which case you'd get a constraint violation exception, just as you expect.

Spring: combine JPA Derived query methods and query by example

Is it possible to use JPA derived methods and query by example at the same time?
Let's imagine i have two entities like this:
#Entity
#Data
public class Person {
#Id
#GeneratedValue
Long id
String name;
String surname;
#OneToMany
List<Dog> dogs;
}
#Entity
#Data
public class Dog{
#Id
#GeneratedValue
Long id
String name;
}
I'd like to be able to do something like this (just an example):
Person p = new Person ();
p.setName("Mario");
personRepository.findDistinctByDogsIsNotNull(Example.of(p));
The Example.of(p) only works if i do findAll, but it doesn't work if i define inside the repository a method like this
private interface PersonRepository extends JpaRepository<Person, Long>{
List<Person> findDistinctByDogsIsNotNull(Example<Person> example)
}
The error it gives me is something like this:
Failed to create query for method public abstract java.util.List dev.cele.test.repository.PersonRepository.findDistinctByDogIsNotNull(org.springframework.data.domain.Example)! At least 1 parameter(s) provided but only 0 parameter(s) present in query.
So my question is: is it possible to do a query by example in a JPA derived query method?
And if it's not possible how can i create some sort of parametrizable query that also has a predetermined condition?

Unable to insert into table in hibernate

I am trying to create new table and join with ManyToOne relation with my existing table
below is my implementation
New table
#Entity(name="request_city_id")
#Table(uniqueConstraints={#UniqueConstraints{columnNames={"request_id","cityId"})})
#Data
#NoArgsConstructor
#FieldDefault(level=AccessLevel.PRIVATE)
public class RequestCityId{
#GenratedValue(strategy=SEQUENCE, generator="seq_req_city_id")
#SequenceGenerator(name="seq_req_city_id", allocationSize=1)
#Column(name="rc_id")
#Id
long id;
#ManyToOne
#JoinColumn(name="request_id")
Request request;
String cityId;
String status
}
Existing table
#Entity(name="request")
#Data
#NoArgsConstructor
#FieldDefault(level=AccessLevel.PRIVATE)
public class Request{
String frequency
#GenratedValue(strategy=SEQUENCE, generator="seq_req_d")
#SequenceGenerator(name="seq_req_id", allocationSize=1)
#Column(name="request_id")
#Id
long id;
#OneToMany(cascade={ PERSIST, MERGE}, mappedBy="request", fetch=EAGER)
Set<RequestCityId> requestCityIds;
}
but when I am trying to insert into my new table I see my hibernate query gets stuck and just gets timed out after sometime, I am not sure what I am doing wrong here? If I just kep cascade type MERGE then getting
Hibernate Error: a different object with the same identifier value was already associated with the session
First you should create an getters and setters method to each entity.
Request Class
Request City Id Class
this code creates the tables and also saves the data into the table.
Using #Data in entity classes in not recommended because it may cause some problems with jpa as mentioned here.

Spring Data + View with Union return duplicate rows

i'm using Spring Boot 2.4.2 and Data module for JPA implementation.
Now, i'm using an Oracle View, mapped by this JPA Entity:
#Entity
#Immutable
#Table(name = "ORDER_EXPORT_V")
#ToString
#Data
#NoArgsConstructor
#EqualsAndHashCode(onlyExplicitlyIncluded = true)
public class OrderExportView implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = -4417678438840201704L;
#Id
#Column(name = "ID", nullable = false)
#EqualsAndHashCode.Include
private Long id;
....
The view uses an UNION which allows me to obtain two different attributes of the same parent entity, so for one same parent entity (A) with this UNION I get the attribute B in row 1 and attribute C in row 2: this means that the rows will be different from each other.
If I run the query with an Oracle client, I get the result set I expect: same parent entity with 2 different rows containing the different attributes.
Now the issue: when I run the query with Spring Data (JPA), I get the wrong result set: two lines but duplicate.
In debug, I check the query that perform Spring Data and it's correct; if I run the same query, the result set is correct, but from Java/Spring Data not. Why??
Thanks for your support!
I got it! I was wrong in the ID field.
The two rows have the same parent id, which is not good for JPA, which instead expects a unique value for each line.
So, now I introduced a UUID field into the view:
sys_guid() AS uuid
and in JPA Entity:
#Id
#Column(name = "UUID", nullable = false)
#EqualsAndHashCode.Include
private UUID uuid;
#Column(name = "ID")
private Long id;
and now everything works fine, as the new field has a unique value for each row.

how to write the JpaRepository for tables which has composite keys

Please refer attached screenshot to understand the table structure.
Empd_Id is the primary key in 'Employee' table which in turn becomes as a part of composite key along with 'product_id' in table called 'product'.
Any employee can have multiple products so in that case it becomes 'One-to-Many' relationship between 'Employee-Product' tables. Now I'm confused whether I need to write just 1 JpaRepository interface i.e. for employee or 2 JpaRepository interfaces (1 for Employee and another for Product). My gut feeling is just 1 interface for Employee table but how???
Following is my code snippet:-
1st JPA repository interface
public interface MyRepository extends JpaRepository<Product, EmpProd> {
}
Entity:-
#Entity
#Table(name="product")
public class Product{
#EmbeddedId
private EmpProd empProd;
#Column(name="product_name")
private String commerceUserId;
#Column(name="description")
private String description;
For composite keys:-
#Embeddable
public class EmpProd implements Serializable{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
#NotNull
#Column(name="emp_id")
private String empId;
#NotNull
#Column(name="product_id")
private String productId;
2nd Jpa repository interface
public interface MyMainDataRepository extends JpaRepository<Employee, String> {
}
Entity class:-
#Entity
#Table(name="employee")
public class Employee{
#Id
#NotNull
#Column(name="emp_id")
private String empId;
#Column(name="first_name")
private String firstName;
Though, I have written 2 separate JPA repositories, I strongly believe there will be need for just 1, the main one i.e.
public interface MyMainDataRepository extends JpaRepository {
}
But I do not know to related both entity classes and fetch data from using single Jpa repository as I'm new to Spring Data JPA. I would really appreciate if someone can help me here. Thanks
The two entities Product and Employee don't have any connection as far as JPA is concerned. Therefore you can't access both through a single repository.
If for example, Product would have an actual reference to an Employee you could use a ProductRepository to load Products and navigate from there to the referenced Employees.
But even if that might be feasible, I'd guess that Product and Employee should be considered different aggregates and therefore, should have their own repository each. See Are you supposed to have one repository per table in JPA? for more information on that question.
Given the entities, your repositories look just fine. Note that the entities do look atypical due to the use of String productId instead of Product product.
If you wanted to fetch the employee details, you need the following interface,
public interface MyMainDataRepository extends JpaRepository<Employee, String> {
}
If you wanted to fetch the product details, you need the following interface,
public interface MyRepository extends JpaRepository<Product, EmpProd> {
}
The employee is related to product table, the iteration happens via product and related employees. From this, you can not access the employee table directly and retrieve the employee results from MyRepository interface.
