OPEN JPA find() could not retrieve the value of the entity from my Database - spring

Question

There is a weird scenario that I had encountered in my User log in program.
Insert the record.. Userid password etc.
Insert the record using merge();
Then close the IDE (Netbeans)
Open IDE Netbeans then start servers, start database connection.
Open the log in browser.
log in using the inserted record.
My program could not detect the record on the table.
When debugging, after the find() it would not populate my entity.. Maybe there is still another step to populate the entity?

I discovered the root cause of the problem. It is on how I instantiate the class in Spring Plugin.
When I change the find() statement to below, it will now work.
UserProfile up = entityStart.em.find(UserProfile.class, "tok");
But how can i initialize this one using Spring? codes below dont work?
private UserProfile userProfile;
...... some codes here.
entityStart.em.find(UserProfile.class, userId);
..... getter setter

Answer 1

The Root cause of the problem.
entityStart.em.find(UserProfile.class, userId); --> it should be
userProfile = entityStart.em.find(UserProfile.class, userId);
