Solution for "Failed to create query for method" findOne - spring-data-jpa

So, I was getting this exception when starting up my app that uses spring-data-jpa 2.0.3
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Failed to create query for method public abstract package.Entity package.repositories.EntityRepository.findOne(java.lang.Integer)! No property findOne found for type Entity!
So, the issue was that my EntityRepository extends CrudRepository. CrudRepository already provides the findOne() method. A previous developer had duplicated the method in our EntityRepository interface. By removing the duplicate method, everything worked.
I also had to remove the findAll() : List methods. In this case, it wasn't a straight removal, because the CrudRepository returns Iterable instead. Still an easy fix.

Does Crud Repository has saveAll method that works?

I am trying to use CRUDRepository for my development project. I have seen in many posts that CRUD Repository do support saveAll method which allows to save a list of object in the database. But when I am using it, It is giving me an error that saveAll property is not found
Here is the detailed error
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'BinaryPartCRUDRepository': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Failed to create query method public abstract java.util.List xxx.xxx.xx.xxxx.repository.BinaryPartCRUDRepository.saveAll(java.util.List)! No property saveAll found for type BinaryPart!
Here is my code.
public interface BinaryPartCRUDRepository extends CrudRepository<BinaryPart, Long> {
BinaryPart save(BinaryPart binaryPart);
List<BinaryPart> saveAll(List<BinaryPart> binaryParts);
}
The save Function is working. But saveAll is not.
I have also tried to use the Persistence manager to do the batch save. But having null object while doing JUnit Testing. So I am preferring to stay with CRUD Repository. Appreciate any kind of suggestion.
saveAll already there in CrudRepository, so no need to specify your own method for save all in repository interface.
remove this part:
List<BinaryPart> saveAll(List<BinaryPart> binaryParts);
and in your service class , directly call `saveAll method. Remember this method using iterable as param and return value.
The saveAll method has the following signature:
<S extends T> Iterable<S> saveAll(Iterable<S> entities);
You define an additional method with the same name, but a different signature. Spring Data does not know how to create an implementation for that and throws the exception.
Just change your interface to:
public interface BinaryPartCRUDRepository extends CrudRepository<BinaryPart, Long> {}
And you are good to go.

Disable query creation from method name - use of projections

I would like to use the Spring Data Projection technique in order to extract from a table only some fields (and not all fields of the table).
As described in the documentation (https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/jpa/docs/current/reference/html/#projections) I created a simple interface, for example:
interface NamesOnly {
String getFirstname();
String getLastname();
}
But I have some problems to use it.
Problem 1:
First of all, I would like to use the name findAll() to create a query that finds all rows with only two fields (firstName and lastName):
#Repository
public interface PersonaRepository extends JpaRepository<Persona, Long> {
List<NamesOnly> findAll();
}
But in this case I have these errors (maybe because findAll() is a method of the JpaRepository):
implements org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository.findAll
The return type is incompatible with JpaRepository.findAll()
Problem 2:
Ok, so I try to change the name of the method to findAllOnlyNames():
#Repository
public interface PersonaRepository extends JpaRepository<Persona, Long> {
List<NamesOnly> findAllOnlyNames();
}
But now I have this error:
Caused by:
org.springframework.data.mapping.PropertyReferenceException: No
property findAllOnlyNames found for type Persona!
Because Spring tries to create a query from the name.
1) Could it be possible to reuse the method name findAll() without having problems with JpaRepository?
2) Could it be possible to turn off the query creation from the method name (only for some queries, not for all projects or repositories)?
You are on the right track, your findAll() is in conflict with the ones specified on the existing Spring Data interfaces and you can rename it (as you tried) but it still has to be a name that is compatible with the query derivation mechanism. Try this instead:
#Repository
public interface PersonaRepository extends JpaRepository<Persona, Long> {
List<NamesOnly> findAllOnlyNamesBy();
}
This part of the Spring Data JPA documentation explains how the query creation process works:
The mechanism strips the prefixes find…By, read…By, query…By, count…By, and get…By from the method and starts parsing the rest of it.
So you just need to add the By keyword in the method name, anything after that keyword is treated as a condition, in this case there is no condition so it fetches everything.
To disable the query derivation from the method name you would need to add an #Query(...) annotation to the method and specify either a JPA or native query instead.
You can specify an explicit query rather than rely on it being derived from the method name.
#Repository
public interface PersonaRepository extends JpaRepository<Persona, Long> {
#Query("select p from Persona p")
List<NamesOnly> findAllOnlyNames();
}
https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/jpa/docs/current/reference/html/#jpa.query-methods.at-query
Overriding findAll() (even in the unlikely event it is possible) is probably a bad idea.

Spring Data MongoDB - no signature of method is applicable for argument types

I had a certain method that called MongoOperations.find(Query query, Class<T> entityClass, String collectionName), and returned a List<T> as expected. I want to change the method to stream(), in case the number of returned objects from the query is exceptionally large. According to the documentation, there should be an identical signature for stream(), but when I try to call the function with a collectionName, I get an error:
groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.MongoTemplate.stream() is applicable for argument types: (org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.query.Query, java.lang.Class, java.lang.String)
When I remove the collectionName, it runs without error. Could this be an issue of Spring Data versions? How can I solve this?
Thanks.
The overloaded stream method which takes collection name as an argument in MongoOperations is added in Mongo Spring 1.10 version.
The change is covered as part of the ticket. https://jira.spring.io/browse/DATAMONGO-1431

JPA EclipseLink Weaver generates call to porperty getter inside its setter -> NullPointerException

I have an #Embeddable class that uses property access to wrap another object that's not directly mappable by JPA via field access. It looks like this:
#Embeddable
#Access(AccessType.PROPERTY)
public class MyWrapper {
#NotNull
#Transient
private WrappedType wrappedField;
protected MyWrapper() {
}
public MyWrapper(WrappedType wrappedField) {
this.wrappedField = wrappedField;
}
#Transient
public WrappedType getWrappedField() {
return wrappedField;
}
public void setWrappedField(WrappedType wrappedField) {
this.wrappedField = wrappedField;
}
#Column(name = "wrappedTypeColumn")
protected String getJPARepresentation() {
return wrappedField.toString();
}
protected void setJPARepresentation(String jpaRepresentation) {
wrappedField = new WrappedType(jpaRepresentation);
}
}
Persisting an #Entity with a MyWrapper field works fine. But when I execute a query to load the Entity from the database, I get a NullPointerException. The stacktrace and some debugging shows that Eclipselink creates a new instance of MyWrapper by calling its default constructor and then calls the setJPARepresentation() method (as expected).
But now the unexpected happens: the stacktrace shows that the getJPARepresentation() is called from inside the setter, which then of course leads to a NullPointerException when return wrappedField.toString() is executed.
java.lang.NullPointerException
at MyWrapper.getJPARepresentation(MyWrapper.java:27)
at MyWrapper.setJPARepresentation(MyWrapper.java)
... 109 more
Fact is, there is obviously no call to the getter in the code and the stacktrace shows no line number indicating from where in the setter called the getter. So my conclusion would be, that the bytecode weaver of Eclipselink generated the call to the getter.
It's easy to build a workaround, but my question is: Why does Eclipselink do that?
P.S: I'm using EclipseLink 2.3.2.v20111125-r10461 in a GlassFish Server Open Source Edition 3.1.2 (build 23)
When weaving is enabled (default on Glassfish), EclipseLink will weave code into property get/set methods for,
change tracking
fetch groups (partial objects)
lazy (relationships)
For change tracking support the set method will be weaved to check if the new value is different than the old value, so it must call the get method to get the old value.
Now this is still odd, as since your are building a new object, I would not expect the change listener to be set yet, so would expect the change tracking check to be bypassed. You could decompile the code to see exactly what was generated.
The easiest fix is to just put in a null check in your get method, which is probably best in general for your code. You could also switch to field access, which will not have issues with side-affects in get/set methods. You could also use a Converter to handle the conversion, instead of doing the conversion in get/set methods.

IQueryable doesn't implement IDbAsyncEnumerable

The question was originally asked at http://entityframework.codeplex.com/discussions/399499#post928179 .
Good day! Please tell me if it is wrong place to post this question.
I have a query as follows:
IQueryable<Card> cardsQuery =
dataContext.Cards
.Where(predicate)
.OrderByDescending(kc => kc.SendDate)
.AsQueryable();
Then I try:
Task<Card[]> result = cardsQuery.ToArrayAsync();
And then exception rises:
The source IQueryable doesn't implement IDbAsyncEnumerable<Models.Card>
I use modified version of 'EF 5.x DbCotext generator'.
How to avoid it?
UPDATE
Important remark is that I have method to produce IQuerayble<Card> as follows:
class Repository {
public IQueryable<Card> GetKudosCards(Func<Card, bool> predicate) {
IEnumerable<KudosCard> kudosCards = kudosCardsQuery.Where(predicate);
return kudosCards
.OrderByDescending(kc => kc.SendDate)
.AsQueryable();
}
}
What is the point of calling AsQueryable? If you compose a query with the extension methods starting from an IQueryable source collection (e.g. DbSet, ObjectSet), the query will be IQueryable too.
The purpose of AsQueryable is to wrap an IEnumerable collection with an IQueryable proxy/adapter that uses a Linq provider that is capable of compiling IQueryable queries into a Linq to Object queries. This can be useful in scenarios when you would like to use inmemory data queries.
Why is the AsQueryable call necessary? What if you just simply remove it?
Update
Okey, now it seems I understand your problem. After a quick look on the ODataQueryOptions.ApplyTo I realized that it just extends the underlying expression tree of the query. You can still use it to run the query in the way you want, however you need a little trick to transform the query back to generic.
IQueryable<Card> cardsQuery =
dataContext.Cards
.Where(predicate)
.OrderByDescending(kc => kc.SendDate);
IQueryable odataQuery = queryOptions.ApplyTo(cardsQuery);
// The OData query option applier creates a non generic query, transform it back to generic
cardsQuery = cardsQuery.Provider.CreateQuery<Card>(odataQuery.Expression);
Task<Card[]> result = cardsQuery.ToArrayAsync();
The problem is as follows.
I have a method:
class Repository {
public IQueryable<Card> GetKudosCards(Func<Card, bool> predicate) {
IEnumerable<KudosCard> kudosCards = kudosCardsQuery.Where(predicate);
return kudosCards
.OrderByDescending(kc => kc.SendDate)
.AsQueryable();
}
}
The problem is that kudosCards has type IEnumerable<KudosCard>. That throws exception. If I change predicate type to Expression<Func<Card, bool> predicate then everything works just fine.
I had the same problem when I was using the LinqKit library expression builder, which in the end, was producing AsQueryable(), and very surprisingly it was happening for me from the XUnit Integration Tests call.
I was going wild about why the same problem wasn't happening when calling the same API endpoint via Swagger.
It turned out I had to do an elementary change.
I had to replace:
using System.Data.Entity;
with:
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;

If you want to use the List<T> for Linq query, Avoid chaining it with ToListAsync(). It uses the class IDbAsyncEnumerable that is not available to a normal List<T> object
