Spring Boot repository save does not work (only shows a select) - spring-boot

Question

I'm facing for hours with a strange proceeding in Spring Boot when try to save a mapped entity.
The entity class with a composite key that must all be set by the user is as follows:
package model
import javax.persistence.*
#Entity
#Table(name = 'MY_TABLE')
#IdClass(MyIdClass.class)
class MyClass implements Serializable{
#Id
#Column(name = "MY_COLUMN_1")
Long column1
#Id
#Column(name = "MY_COLUMN_2")
Long column2
#Id
#Column(name = "MY_COLUMN_3")
String column3
#Id
#Column(name = "MY_COLUMN_4")
Date date1
#Column(name = "MY_COLUMN_5")
Date date2
#Column(name = "MY_COLUMN_6")
BigDecimal column6
}
#Embeddable
class MyIdClass implements Serializable{
Long column1
Long column2
String column3
Date date1;
}
The corresponding repository is:
package repository
import org.springframework.data.repository.CrudRepository
interface MyRepository extends CrudRepository<MyClass, Long>{
}
My service is:
package service
import model.MyClass
import repository.MyRepository
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service
#Service
class MyService {
#Autowired
MyRepository repository
void save(MyClass myClass) {
repository.save(myClass)
}
}
My controller mounts a MyClass object with all data set, including the composite key. When it calls the service save method the object is not inserted in the database. I saw the logs and checked that there is a SELECT in MY_TABLE instead of INSERT. I tried not to inform the composite key in the object and then the save method did an INSERT with error due to null values in the primary key.
I really don't understand why the insertion is not done when the composite key has values. How can I solve it?
I've already tried with #Transactional in service class and didn't work. I didn't do any Transaction configuration in the project since Spring Boot delivers it as default.
Thanks.

Answer 1

It seems you are using MyIdClass as the Id for MyClass. So, the Repository should be:
interface MyRepository extends CrudRepository<MyClass, MyIdClass>{
}
Hope this help.

I take your code sample and tried it on a sample Spring Boot project, where I was able to save to H2 DB (In memory) with #Embeddable & #EmbeddedId annotations. If you would like to verify, you can clone the GitHub repo and run the BootJpaApplication.java as a Java Application.
After execution access the H2 console with the below link from local where table details can be verified.

Hope the detail helps:)
