I'm creating a Spring Boot application and I am using AngularJS on the frontend.
Upon submitting a form with the appropiate parameters, Spring is supposed to use bookRepository.save() method in order to save the provided data in the MongoDB. The problem is, this action gets carried on, but the structure of my model is not respected.
#Document(collection = "books")
public class Book {
private String id;
private String title;
private String author;
private String description;
private String cover;
// Getters and setters below.
}
The final outcome after following the above process: instead of having a record following the above structure inserted in MongoDB, I only end up with a field containing _id and _class.
Any ideas as to why is this happening?

We have model class saved in Redis as mentioned below:-
#Data
#NoArgsConstructor
#AllArgsConstructor
#RedisHash("book")
public class Book implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 2208852329346517265L;
#Id
private Integer bookID;
#Indexed
private String title;
#Indexed
private String authors;
private String averageRating;
private String isbn;
private String languageCode;
private String ratingsCount;
private BigDecimal price;
}
We have title and authors as our indexed property.
Now we wanted to search all the records from Redis by passing title and a list of authors using the spring crud repository as mentioned below.
public interface BookSpringRepository extends CrudRepository<Book, String> {
List<Book> findAllByTitleAndAuthors(String title, List<String> authors);
}
Service layer:-
#Override
public Optional<List<Book>> searchBooksByTitleAndAuthorNames(String title, List<String>
autherNames) {
return Optional.ofNullable(bookSpringRepository.findAllByTitleAndAuthors(title,
autherNames));
}
Here we are getting below exception
Unable to fetch data from Spring data Redis cache using List of Integer or
String.
Getting error while fetching - "Resolved
[org.springframework.core.convert.ConversionFailedException: Failed to convert from type
[java.lang.String] to type [byte] for value 'Ronak';
nested exception is java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "Ronak"]."
We would not want to convert the list of string/integer to byte as it is a time-consuming process and as we tried took so much amount of time. Also when the results are retrieved we will again have to convert back to normal integer or string values.
The other option is to loop through the list and pass a single value at a time to the Redis crud repository and this time Redis crud repository is happy but that will be a loop call to Redis and network latency.
We cannot add ID attributes on authors' property as these can be duplicate records.
Does the spring crud repository support the LIKE query in search that way we can create a unique id having these authors' names and make put ID annotation on that new derived property to search the records using spring crud repository using LIKE or contains kind of query.
Any suggestions here are highly appreciated!!
Try to add serialization to your redis key and value. This might help :

I have following user details model that is used in POST & PUT controllers of /user resource.
public class UserDetails {
#NotBlank
private String username;
#NotBlank
private String password;
#NotBlank
private String firstName;
#NotBlank
private String lastName;
#NotBlank
private String nic;
#NotNull
private Integer roleId;
// constructor & getters setters
}
#PostMapping("/org/employee")
public void createEmployee(#RequestBody EmployeeDetailsModel empDetails) {
employeeService.createUser(empDetails);
}
#PutMapping("/org/employee")
public void updateEmployee(#RequestBody EmployeeDetailsModel empDetails) {
employeeService.updateUser(empDetails);
}
Here, UserDetails has #NotNull & #NotBlank validations. POST would work fine because to create a user, all details are mandatory. But when updating with PUT, I don't need all properties of UserDetails to be filled.
So my questions are,
How this kind of scenarios are handled? Do we usually force clients to send all those details whether they are changed or not?
Is it possible to disable request body validation just for a particular endpoint or do I have to create separate model that looks the same but without validations?
Seeing your post I can infer that you are interested in modifying the resource
Well to do this you should to use PATCH method instead of PUT.
In PUT you need to send the entire data since it is intended for replacing the resource which is not in the case of the PATCH.
Well in case of the PUT or PATCH we need to ensure that we have an existing resource. Hence before saving it is necessary that we get the original resource from the data store. Then we can modify it with the help of the validation rules on the Entity itself.
so your code should be like.
Considering you have a repository class named as
EmployeeRepository
#PutMapping("/org/employee/{id}")
public void updateEmployee(#RequestBody EmployeeDetailsModel empDetails, #PathVariable("id") int id) {
Optional<Employee> emp = employeeRepo.findById(id);
if (emp.isPresent()) {
// update the new values using setters
// Finally update the resource.
employeeService.updateUser(empDetails);
} else {
throw new ResourceNotFoundException("Your custom msg");
}
}
The repository code should be placed inside the service method ie updateUser but I have placed it here just for demonstration.
I am using Spring Data's Rest Repositories from spring-boot-starter-data-rest, with Couchbase being used as the underlining DBMS.
My Pojo for the object is setup as so.
#Document
public class Item{
#Id #GeneratedValue(strategy = UNIQUE)
private String id;
#NotNull
private String name;
//other items and getters and setters here
}
And say the Item has an id of "xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx" and name of "testItem".
Problem is, that when I want to access the item, I need to be accessible by /items/testItem, but instead it is accessible by /items/xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.
How do I get use its name instead of its generated id, to get the data.
I found out the answer to my own question.
I just need to override the config for the EntityLookup.
#Component
public class SpringDataRestCustomization extends RepositoryRestConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
public void configureRepositoryRestConfiguration(RepositoryRestConfiguration config) {
config.withEntityLookup().forRepository(UserRepository.class).
withIdMapping(User::getUsername).
withLookup(UserRepository::findByUsername);
}
}
Found the info here, though the method name changed slightly.
https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-examples/tree/master/rest/uri-customization
If you want query the item by name and want it perform as querying by id,you should make sure the name is unique too.You cant identify a explicit object by name if all objects have a same name,right?
With jpa you could do it like:
#NotNull
#Column(name="name",nullable=false,unique=true)
private String name;
I am trying to have a list in a model using #DBRef but I can't get it to work.
This is my User model:
#Data
#Document
public class User {
#Id
#JsonSerialize(using = ToStringSerializer.class)
private ObjectId id;
#Indexed(unique = true)
#NotBlank
private String email;
#NotBlank
private String name;
#NotBlank
private String password;
#DBRef
private List<Server> servers;
}
Server model:
#Data
#Document
public class Server {
#Id
#JsonSerialize(using = ToStringSerializer.class)
private ObjectId id;
#NotBlank
private String name;
#NotBlank
private String host;
}
The structure is very simple, every user can have multiple servers. But when I add servers to the user the server is created, but the servers array contains one null entry("servers" : [ null ]). So the server isn't added to the user. This is how I create a server and add it to an user:
#PostMapping
public Mono create(#Valid #RequestBody Server server, Mono<Authentication> authentication) {
return this.serverRepository.save(server).then(authentication.flatMap(value -> {
User user = (User) value.getDetails();
user.getServers().add(server);
return userRepository.save(user);
})).map(value -> server);
}
So I simply create and save a server, add the server the user and then save the user. But it doesn't work. I keep having an array with one null entry.
I've seen this page: http://www.baeldung.com/cascading-with-dbref-and-lifecycle-events-in-spring-data-mongodb. But it is for saving the child document, not for linking it. Also it is for a single document, not for an array or list.
Why is my list not being saved correctly?
All my libraries are coming from spring boot version 2.0.0.M6.
UPDATE
When removing #DBRef from the user's servers property the servers are getting saved, but they of course get double created, in the server collection and in every user.servers. So the error has something to do with references.
After some googling I found the answer...

Reactive mongo doesn't support this.
Actually there is a way to resolve DbRefs without to using the blocking driver. Yes - the references are resolved in a blocking fashion, but does not require a second connection. In order to achieve this we have to write our own DbRefResolver: NbDbRefResolver.java. In the provided resolver there is a flag: RESOLVE_DB_REFS_BY_ID_ONLY. If is switched on will not going to resolve the DbRefs from the database, but instead will resolve them to fake objects with id only. It is up to implementation to fill the references later in non-blocking fashion.
If the flag RESOLVE_DB_REFS_BY_ID_ONLY is set to false it will eagerly resolve the references by using the non-blocking driver, but will block the execution until the references are resolved.
Here is how to register the DbRefResolver in the app: DbConfig.kt

Me did it like that for roles :
#Unwrapped(onEmpty = Unwrapped.OnEmpty.USE_NULL)
private Collection<Role> roles;

I have a spring-boot application (1.4RC1, I know it's RC, but Spring Data Redis 1.7.2 is not) where I'm using spring-boot-starter-redis.
The application uses a Spring Data Repository (CrudRepository) which should save an object (using #RedisHash annotation) with String and Boolean properties and one custom class property, which also has only Strings and Longs as properties.
When I save an object (via the repository), everything went fine and I can see all the properties in the database as I would expect.
When I want to read the data from the database (via the repository) I only get the properties from the parent object. The custom class property is null.
I would expect to get the property loaded from the database as well. As the documentation states you can write a custom converter, but since I don't need to do that, when I want to write the data, I shouldn't need to write a reading converter as well.
I wonder if I need to annotate the custom class property, but I couldn't find anything in the documentation. Can you point me in the right direction?
The classes are as follows:
Class sample:
#Data
#EqualsAndHashCode(exclude = {"isActive", "sampleCreated", "sampleConfiguration"})
#RedisHash
public class Sample {
#Id
private String sampleIdentifier;
private Boolean isActive;
private Date sampleCreated;
private SampleConfiguration sampleConfiguration;
public Sample(String sampleIdentifier, SampleConfiguration sampleConfiguration){
this.sampleIdentifier = sampleIdentifier;
this.sampleConfiguration = sampleConfiguration;
}
}
Class SampleConfiguration:
#Data
public class SampleConfiguration {
private String surveyURL;
private Long blockingTime;
private String invitationTitle;
private String invitationText;
private String participateButtonText;
private String doNotParticipateButtonText;
private String optOutButtonText;
private Long frequencyCappingThreshold;
private Long optOutBlockingTime;
}
I added #NoArgsConstructor to my Sample class as Christoph Strobl suggested. Then the repository reads the SampleConfiguration correctly. Thanks, Christoph!
