Spring Boot store data with WebSockets - jpa

Question

I have a simple WebSocket set up and try to save data. Somehow the data gets not persisted. I don't get any error messages and the object gets returned correct to the client. If I try to store the object with a REST controller and a REST request it works.
Here are the dependencies of my build.gradle file:
dependencies {
compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web'
compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa'
compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-websocket'
compile 'org.springframework:spring-messaging'
compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:1.7.2'
compile 'org.postgresql:postgresql:9.4-1200-jdbc41'
compile 'commons-dbcp:commons-dbcp:1.4'
testCompile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-startet-test')
}
PersonController
#Controller
public class PersonController {
#Autowired
PersonRepository personRepository;
#MessageMapping("/test")
#SendTo("/response/test")
public Person test() throws Exception {
Person person = new Person();
person.setName("John Doe");
return personRepository.save(person);
}
}
Configuration for STOMP messaging
#Configuration
#EnableWebSocketMessageBroker
public class WebSocketConfig extends AbstractWebSocketMessageBrokerConfigurer {
#Override
public void configureMessageBroker(MessageBrokerRegistry config) {
config.enableSimpleBroker("/response");
config.setApplicationDestinationPrefixes("/app");
}
#Override
public void registerStompEndpoints(StompEndpointRegistry registry) {
registry.addEndpoint("/websocket")
.setAllowedOrigins("*")
.withSockJS();
}
Person entity
#Entity
public class Person {
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
private long id;
private String name;
public long getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(long id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getName() {
return getName;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
}
Base Repository
#NoRepositoryBean
public interface BaseRepository<T, ID extends Serializable> extends Repository<T, ID> {
void delete(T deleted);
void delete(ID id);
Iterable<T> findAll();
T findOne(ID id);
T save(T persisted);
Iterable<T> save(Iterable<T> persited);
}
Person Repository
public interface PersonRepository extends
BaseRepository<Person, Serializable> {
}
Is there a problem in my code?
Is there an issue with caching? Do I have to force flushing?
Is storing data with WebSockets supported by SpringBoot?
Do you know any examples with storing data? I could only find basic examples without storing data.

Answer 1

The problem was in my persistence configuration. I changed the configuration from a Java implementation to the application.properties file. I think there was a problem with my transaction manager.
To be complete, here is my current application.properties file:
spring.datasource.url = jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/test
spring.datasource.username = test
spring.datasource.password = test
spring.datasource.testWhileIdle = true
spring.datasource.validationQuery = SELECT 1
spring.jpa.show-sql = true
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto = create
spring.jpa.hibernate.naming-strategy = org.hibernate.cfg.ImprovedNamingStrategy
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect = org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
