I am following a tutorial for using validation in spring as i am new for spring.
On click of the submit button while leaving the User Name field empty, it should get validated with the message from Validator.
When i tried to print the error in controller class by-
System.out.println("result has errors " + result.toString());
it prints-
result has errors org.springframework.validation.BeanPropertyBindingResult: 1 errors
Please help, i am not getting where i am wrong.
I used this code to check where is the error-
for (Object object : result.getAllErrors()) {
if (object instanceof FieldError) {
FieldError fieldError = (FieldError) object;
System.out.println("the field errors::::::::::::::::"+fieldError.getCode());
}
if (object instanceof ObjectError) {
ObjectError objectError = (ObjectError) object;
System.out.println("the object errors:::::::::"+objectError.getCode());
}
}
and i found-
the field errors::::::::::::::::user.name.empty
the object errors:::::::::user.name.empty
///////result has errors org.springframework.validation.BeanPropertyBindingResult: 2 errors
Field error in object 'userSetup' on field 'stdUsers.userName': rejected value []; codes [user.name.empty.userSetup.stdUsers.userName,user.name.empty.stdUsers.userName,user.name.em pty.userName,user.name.empty.java.lang.String,user.name.empty]; arguments []; default message [null]
Since these two fields i am putting empty to check validation. If i will get these error on putting the fields empty then how can i validate them?
StdUser-
#Entity
#Table(name = "STD_USERS")
#NamedQueries({
#NamedQuery(name = "StdUsers.findAll", query = "SELECT s FROM StdUsers s")})
public class StdUsers implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
#Id
#GenericGenerator(name="generator",strategy="increment")
#GeneratedValue(generator="generator")
#Basic(optional = false)
#Column(name = "ID", nullable = false)
private Long id;
#Basic(optional = false)
#Column(name = "USER_NAME", nullable = false, length = 50)
private String userName;
setters and getters.....
Any one please reply.

Oh finally got the solution just here-
Changed the Validator class as-
try {
UserBean user = (UserBean) target;
ValidationUtils.rejectIfEmptyOrWhitespace(errors, "stdUsers.userName","required.stdUsers.userName" ,"User name required");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
and in Controller class rather than returning to controller's allUsers method when result.hasError() i.e.-
return new ModelAndView("redirect:/User/allUsers");
changed to(navigated to page)-
return new ModelAndView("/CMN/STD100002");
and yes if you are getting date conversion related error, use this in your controller class-
#InitBinder
private void initBinder(WebDataBinder binder) {
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");//edit for the format you need
dateFormat.setLenient(false);
binder.registerCustomEditor(Date.class, new CustomDateEditor(dateFormat, true));
}

Cannot convert MultipartFile into Blob in Spring

I am trying to save an uploaded file as Blob in a MySql record. I am new to Spring. When I am about to save the record after uploading a file, then when my POST method updateCandidate() executes, I get this exception:
Field error in object 'candidateForm' on field 'cv': rejected value [org.springframework.web.multipart.support.StandardMultipartHttpServletRequest$StandardMultipartFile#59c09df6]; codes [typeMismatch.candidateForm.cv,typeMismatch.cv,typeMismatch.java.sql.Blob,typeMismatch]; arguments [org.springframework.context.support.DefaultMessageSourceResolvable: codes [candidateForm.cv,cv]; arguments []; default message [cv]]; default message [Failed to convert property value of type 'org.springframework.web.multipart.support.StandardMultipartHttpServletRequest$StandardMultipartFile' to required type 'java.sql.Blob' for property 'cv'; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot convert value of type 'org.springframework.web.multipart.support.StandardMultipartHttpServletRequest$StandardMultipartFile' to required type 'java.sql.Blob' for property 'cv': no matching editors or conversion strategy found]
What is going wrong? How to fix?
My entity:

}
public void setActiveCV(boolean activeCV) {
this.activeCV = activeCV;
}
}
In my service:
#Autowired
private CandidateRepository repository;
...
public Optional<Candidate> getCandidate(Long id){
return repository.findById(id);
}
public void addOrUpdateCandidate(Candidate candidate) {
repository.save(candidate);
}
In my controller:
#Controller
#RequestMapping("/candidates")
public class CandidateController {
#Autowired
private EntityManagerFactory emf;
#Autowired
private CandidateService service;
...
#GetMapping("/updateCandidate/{id}")
public String showUpdateUserForm(#PathVariable("id") Long id, Model model) {
Candidate candidate = service.getCandidate(id).get();
model.addAttribute("candidateForm", candidate);
return "updateCandidateForm";
}
#PostMapping("/updateCandidate/updateCandidateResult")
public String updateCandidate(#ModelAttribute("candidateForm") Candidate candidate, #RequestParam("cv") MultipartFile file) throws IOException {
InputStream iStream = file.getInputStream();
long size = file.getSize();
Session session = emf.unwrap(Session.class);
Blob cv = Hibernate.getLobCreator(session).createBlob(iStream, size);
candidate.setCv(cv);
service.addOrUpdateCandidate(candidate);
return "updateCandidateResult";
}
}
My updateCandidateForm.jsp:

In my POM:
<dependency>
<groupId>commons-fileupload</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-fileupload</artifactId>
<version>1.3.1</version>
</dependency>
EDIT 1 (question):
Would there be even a way of preventing Spring from trying to convert MultipartFile to Blob at "Submit-time", triggering this operation sooner, having the POST method already manage the Candidate (with Blob field already set) object?
EDIT 2:
as suggested by JB Nizet, I tried to use a support POJO, which has the field CV of the type MultipartFile, to store temporarily what I post via form (text fields + file field), and I don't get that exception anymore, because at "Submit-time" the populated object has the cv field of the type of the uploaded file:
import org.springframework.web.multipart.MultipartFile;
public class CandidatePOJO {
private Long id;
private String ssn;
private String name;
private String surname;
private String technology;
private String media;
private MultipartFile cv;
private boolean activeCV;
#Override
public String toString() {
return "CandidatePOJO [id=" + id + ", ssn=" + ssn + ", name=" + name + ", surname=" + surname + ", technology="
+ technology + ", media=" + media + ", cv=" + cv + ", activeCV=" + activeCV + "]";
}
public Long getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(Long id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getSsn() {
return ssn;
}
public void setSsn(String ssn) {
this.ssn = ssn;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getSurname() {
return surname;
}
public void setSurname(String surname) {
this.surname = surname;
}
public String getTechnology() {
return technology;
}
public void setTechnology(String technology) {
this.technology = technology;
}
public String getMedia() {
return media;
}
public void setMedia(String media) {
this.media = media;
}
public MultipartFile getCv() {
return cv;
}
public void setCv(MultipartFile cv) {
this.cv = cv;
}
public boolean isActiveCV() {
return activeCV;
}
public void setActiveCV(boolean activeCV) {
this.activeCV = activeCV;
}
}
in controller, now my first concern is to see whether the pojo can be correctly instantiated, so my GET-POST pair is:
#GetMapping("/updateCandidate/{id}")
public String showUpdateUserForm(#PathVariable("id") Long id, Model model) {
CandidatePOJO candidatePOJO = new CandidatePOJO();
candidatePOJO.setId(id);
model.addAttribute("candidateForm", candidatePOJO);
return "updateCandidateForm";
}
#PostMapping("/updateCandidate/updateCandidateResult")
public String updateCandidate(#ModelAttribute("candidateForm") CandidatePOJO candidatePOJO) {
System.out.println("CANDIDATE POJO");
System.out.println(candidatePOJO.toString()); // here I notice id = null
/* MultipartFile to Blob conversion */
// MultipartFile file = candidatePOJO.getCv();
// InputStream iStream = file.getInputStream();
// long size = file.getSize();
// Session session = emf.unwrap(Session.class);
// Blob cv = Hibernate.getLobCreator(session).createBlob(iStream, size);
/* instantiating the entity object to be freezed in db */
// Candidate candidate = new Candidate();
// set all data from candidatePOJO..
// candidate.setCv(cv);
// service.addOrUpdateCandidate(candidate);
return "updateCandidateResult";
}
and I get a CandidatePOJO object with no id set. I don't manage to have the id pass from GET to POST. Does anyone know what is gong wrong?
EDIT 3:
after many days I opted for the solution with a support POJO, unbelievably I am noticing that the ID is passed from the GET method to the POST one (I haven't changed anything, I have just performed the classical Maven project cleaning as I did when I posted my issue). Unluckily I am facing now another exception (after restoring the code previously commented in the POST method, of course):
javax.persistence.PersistenceException: Hibernate cannot unwrap EntityManagerFactory as 'org.hibernate.Session'
How to fix that?
EDIT 4:
Exception just above solved replacing:
Session session = emf.unwrap(Session.class);
with:
EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager();
Session session = (Session) em.getDelegate();
BY USING SUPPORT POJO, I finally solved. Indeed I had already solved earlier, by code. The code in the post is right (EDIT 2). When I often performed Maven project cleaning, this didn't discover the errors. I performed it in the last hours and unbelievably my code worked. I can't guess the magic :D I don't know what really happened. By code, I solved in two different ways. First:
#Autowired
private EntityManagerFactory emf;
// ........
#GetMapping("/updateCandidate/{id}")
public String showUpdateUserForm(#PathVariable("id") Long id, Model model) {
Candidate candidate = service.getCandidate(id).get();
CandidatePOJO candidatePOJO = new CandidatePOJO();
candidatePOJO.setId(id);
candidatePOJO.setName(candidate.getName());
candidatePOJO.setSurname(candidate.getSurname());
candidatePOJO.setSsn(candidate.getSsn());
candidatePOJO.setMedia(candidate.getMedia());
candidatePOJO.setTechnology(candidate.getTechnology());
candidatePOJO.setActiveCV(candidate.isActiveCV());
model.addAttribute("candidateForm", candidatePOJO);
return "updateCandidateForm";
}
#PostMapping("/updateCandidate/updateCandidateResult")
public String updateCandidate(#ModelAttribute("candidateForm") CandidatePOJO candidatePOJO) throws IOException {
MultipartFile file = candidatePOJO.getCv();
InputStream iStream = file.getInputStream();
long size = file.getSize();
EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager();
Session session = (Session) em.getDelegate();
Blob cv = Hibernate.getLobCreator(session).createBlob(iStream, size);
Candidate candidate = new Candidate();
candidate.setId(candidatePOJO.getId());
candidate.setName(candidatePOJO.getName());
candidate.setSurname(candidatePOJO.getSurname());
candidate.setSsn(candidatePOJO.getSsn());
candidate.setMedia(candidatePOJO.getMedia());
candidate.setTechnology(candidatePOJO.getTechnology());
candidate.setActiveCV(candidatePOJO.isActiveCV());
candidate.setCv(cv);
service.addOrUpdateCandidate(candidate);
return "updateCandidateResult";
}
Second (with the same GET):
#PostMapping("/updateCandidate/updateCandidateResult")
public String updateCandidate(#ModelAttribute("candidateForm") CandidatePOJO candidatePOJO) throws IOException, SerialException, SQLException {
MultipartFile file = candidatePOJO.getCv();
Blob cv = new SerialBlob(file.getBytes());
Candidate candidate = new Candidate();
candidate.setId(candidatePOJO.getId());
candidate.setName(candidatePOJO.getName());
candidate.setSurname(candidatePOJO.getSurname());
candidate.setSsn(candidatePOJO.getSsn());
candidate.setMedia(candidatePOJO.getMedia());
candidate.setTechnology(candidatePOJO.getTechnology());
candidate.setActiveCV(candidatePOJO.isActiveCV());
candidate.setCv(cv);
service.addOrUpdateCandidate(candidate);
return "updateCandidateResult";
}
Being new to Spring, I don't know the differences yet. I would appreciate a lot an explanation. Moreover, I want to modify, sooner or later, this code, in order to get rid of the support POJO and to work with just the entity objects: if anyone can solve my initial issue, I would be forever grateful!

Looks like you forgot to add the #Autowired annotation. It's present for the studentDao but not for the subjectDao, resulting in that object not being initialized.

Spring MVC - Hibernate mapped object partially filled when using POST request method

Since I've decided to use same JSP for adding and editing posts, I just pass an attribute "saveUrl" which defines the action for my form in the JSP. Adding a new post works fine, but when editing a post, the object returned to the controller is missing all attributes except for the description.
What am I missing or doing wrong here?
Thanks for help!
My controller:
#Controller
public class BlogController {
private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(BlogController.class);
#Autowired
private BlogPostManager bpManager;
#Autowired
private UserManager usrManager;
.....
#RequestMapping(value = "addPost", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String addPost(Locale locale, Model model, Principal principal) {
model.addAttribute("post", new BlogPostEntity());
/** some more code here **/
return "addEditPost";
}
#RequestMapping(value = "addPostProcess", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String addPostProcess(Locale locale, Model model, Principal principal, #ModelAttribute("post") BlogPostEntity blogPost) {
blogPost.setDate(new Date());
blogPost.setAuthor(usrManager.getUser(principal.getName()));
bpManager.addBlogPost(blogPost);
return "redirect:/latest";
}
#RequestMapping(value = "editPost/{id}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String editPost(Locale locale, Model model, Principal principal, #PathVariable Integer id) {
model.addAttribute("post", bpManager.getBlogPost(id));
model.addAttribute("username", getUsername(principal));
model.addAttribute("saveUrl", "");
return "addEditPost";
}
#RequestMapping(value = "editPost/{id}", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String editPostProcess(Locale locale, Model model, Principal principal, #ModelAttribute("post") BlogPostEntity blogPost) {
bpManager.updateBlogPost(blogPost);
return "redirect:/latest";
}
/** some private methods **/
}

UPDATE: I've been experimenting a bit and tried method from HERE, but the object returned to the controler was still empty.
Then I changed the saveURL in JSP to (I read it might be important HERE):
<c:url var="addUrl" value="/secure/postProcess"/>
<form:form modelAttribute="post" action="${addUrl}" method='POST'>
and now the object is filled, only the id is still empty. So there is something probably wrong with the JSP.

Spring MVC Pre Populate Checkboxes

First little background info. Got a fairly standard User Role relationship where the User can have many roles. I have roles defined as a set within the user class. Now I know that html forms have all the values as strings and trying to get values as my custom Role object does not work. I implemented an initbinder to convert the id's back into object so that I can retrieve the selected values off of my checkboxes, that part works.
But I can't seem to go back the other way. I retrieve a User from the database that already has roles and want to pre populate role checkboxes with all the roles that a user has. Based on this example :
Checkboxes example
They say that:
form:checkboxes items="${dynamic-list}" path="property-to-store"
For multiple checkboxes, as long as the “path” or “property” value is
equal to any of the “checkbox values – ${dynamic-list}“, the matched
checkbox will be checked automatically.
My interpretation of that is I should be able to feed it a Set of all the roles and define the path to be the roles from the User object and it should match them thus causing the check box to pre populate.
Every example out there seems to have the value of dynamic-list as a String[]. Well thats great and dandy but how does this work for custom objects that our defined as a Set? Can I still use this one line definition for checkboxes or do I need to do some kind of data binding heading into the view also?
Here is my user dto, user controller, custom form binder, and user edit page.

You need a correct implemented equals method for Role!
If this is not enough have a look at class oorg.springframework.web.servlet.tags.form.AbstractCheckedElementTag. The method void renderFromValue(Object item, Object value, TagWriter tagWriter) is where the the checked flag is set.
