Annotations Hibernate 3.5 - jpa

The below annotation works when applying it to the field:
#OneToMany(targetEntity=TestMany.class,
cascade=CascadeType.ALL, fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
#JoinColumn(name="TESTID")
private Set<TestMany> testManys = new HashSet<TestMany>();
But fails when I place it above the getter below:
public Set<TestMany> getTestManys() {
return testManys;
}
With the following error:
Caused by: org.hibernate.MappingException: Could not determine type for: java.util.Set, at table: TEST, for columns: [org.hibernate.mapping.Column(testManys)]

The Many side of the relationship:
#SuppressWarnings("serial")
#Entity
#Table(name="TESTMANY")
public class TestMany extends BaseEntityImpl{
#ManyToOne
#JoinColumn(name="TESTID", insertable=false, updatable=false)
private Test test;
I don't know why it works on the property but not on the getter and it's driving me nuts. The tables are fine and the annotation seems fine to me. Am I missing something very obvious? Could it be a version problem?
There is a basic base class but i dont think this has anything to do with it:
#MappedSuperclass
public abstract class BaseEntityImpl implements BaseEntity, Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 7887314289537012320L;
#Id #GeneratedValue(strategy = AUTO)
#Column(name = "ID")
private Long id;
public Long getId() {
return id;
}
#SuppressWarnings("unused")
private void setId(Long id) {
this.id = id;
}
}

Does anyone have any ideas or experienced something similar? I've spent 2.5 hours of my life trying to fix this one and I predict another 12.

I'm unable to test the solution right now (I'm unfortunately stuck with a computer with less than a quadrillion gigabytes of RAM, so no Hibernate launching here), but as the doc demonstrates, your set needs a type, so instead of:
#OneToMany(targetEntity=TestMany.class, cascade=CascadeType.ALL, fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
#JoinColumn(name="TESTID")
private Set testManys = new HashSet();
you use:
#OneToMany(cascade=CascadeType.ALL, fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
#JoinColumn(name="TESTID")
private Set<TestMany> testManys = new HashSet();
and it should do the trick. In case you don't like the Hibernate documentation, you might enjoy reading this.

jsonb type data saving with postgres db and spring boot getting JpaSystemException after java 8 to java 11 migration

I'm trying to save jsonb type data to a Postgres db table using the following library
<dependency>
<groupId>com.vladmihalcea</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-types-52</artifactId>
<version>2.11.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.postgresql</groupId>
<artifactId>postgresql</artifactId>
<version>42.2.14</version>
</dependency>
In java 8 it worked without any issue, But due to requirement I had to migrate the service to java 11 but after the migration when I tried to save jsonb to the table I got the following error.
org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaSystemException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The given byte array cannot be transformed to Json object; nested exception is org.hibernate.HibernateException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The given byte array cannot be transformed to Json object.
NOTE - Hibernate versions are the same in both java 8 and java 11
version: 5.4.20.Final in both
Following is the entity which trying to save
#Builder(toBuilder = true)
#Data
#NoArgsConstructor
#AllArgsConstructor
#Entity
#Table(name = "test")
#TypeDefs({
#TypeDef(name = "jsonb", typeClass = JsonBinaryType.class),
})
public class Test extends Auditable {
#Id
#Column(name = "id", updatable = false, nullable = false, unique = true)
private UUID id;
#Type(type = "jsonb")
#Column(name = "data", columnDefinition = "jsonb")
private RequestEventDto data;
}
following is the RequestEventDto
import lombok.Builder;
import lombok.Data;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
#Data
#Builder
public class RequestEventDto {
private String requestId;
#Builder.Default
private String applicationId = "program1";
private String entityType;
private List<Map<String, Object>> listEntities;
}
Can you help with this problem?
Issue fixed with adding the following annotations to the RequestEventDto
#NoArgsConstructor
#AllArgsConstructor
public class RequestEventDto {
It seems it is due to the constructor not there when serialization happening.

How to fix Spring Boot Postgres error: syntax error at or near: ")" Position: 209

I've got some trouble attempting to rebuild connection with Postgres server using Spring Boot (in Eclipse environment). Case-relevant entities look like:
1 - Specialization - web application I'm working provides with online registration for college athlete courses, so Specialization means gymnastics or sports any student can apply for upon his/her pleasure:
#Entity
#Table(name = "Specializations")
#Getter #Setter #NoArgsConstructor
public class Specialization {
#Id
#SequenceGenerator(name = "specialization_id_sequence", sequenceName = "specialization_id_sequence", allocationSize = 1, initialValue = 1)
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator = "specialization_id_sequence")
#Column(name = "id")
private Short id;
#Column(name="name")
private String name;
#ManyToOne
#JoinColumn(name="health_category_id", referencedColumnName = "id")
private HealthCategory category;
#Column(name="photo_file_path")
private String photoFilePath;
#OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.EAGER, mappedBy = "specialization", cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
List <Trainer> trainerList;
#OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, mappedBy = "specialization", cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
List <Group> groupList;
//some hashCode() and equals() stuff here
#Override
public String toString() {
return "Specialization [id=" + id + ", name=" + name + ", min. approvable health category=" +
category.getId() + ", path=" + photoFilePath + "]";
}
2 - HealthCategory - prerequisite health class to be confirmed formally for getting admission to specialization-related engagement (different specilializations may be featured by the same health category required)
#Entity
#Table(name = "Health_categories")
#Getter #Setter #NoArgsConstructor
public class HealthCategory {
#Id
#SequenceGenerator(name = "category_id_sequence", sequenceName = "category_id_sequence", allocationSize = 1, initialValue = 1)
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY, generator = "category_id_sequence")
#Column(name = "id")
private Short id;
#Column(name="name")
private String name;
#Column(name="state")
private Short state;
#OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, mappedBy = "category", cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
private List <Specialization> specialization;
#CreationTimestamp
#Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
#JsonFormat(pattern = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss")
#Column(name="last_update")
private Date last_update;
#OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, mappedBy = "category", cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
private List <User> userList;
#Override
public String toString() {
return "Health category [id=" + id + ", name=" + name + ", state=" + state + ", last update on=" + last_update + "]";
}
3 - Group - specialization-related group a student sign in to pass the course
#Entity
#Table(name = "Groups")
#Getter #Setter #NoArgsConstructor
public class Group {
#Id
#SequenceGenerator(name = "groupIdSequence", sequenceName = "groupIdSequence", allocationSize = 1, initialValue = 1)
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator = "groupIdSequence")
#Column(name = "group_id")
private Long group_id;
// eventual values: "open", "close"
#Column(name="registration_status")
private String registrationStatus;
// admission quota
#Column(name="target_size")
private Integer targetSize;
// real group size evaluation at the moment
#Column(name="actual_size")
private Integer actualSize;
#OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, mappedBy = "group", cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
private List <User> userList;
#ManyToOne
#JoinColumn(name="group_specialization_id", referencedColumnName = "id", nullable = false, unique = true)
private Specialization specialization;
#ManyToMany(cascade = { CascadeType.ALL })
#JoinTable(
name="schedules",
joinColumns = { #JoinColumn(name = "group_id") },
inverseJoinColumns = { #JoinColumn(name="schedule_id", nullable = false) })
private List<GroupSchedule> scheduleList;
#ManyToMany(mappedBy = "groupList")
private List<Trainer> trainerList;
#ManyToMany(cascade = { CascadeType.ALL })
#JoinTable(
name="locations",
joinColumns = { #JoinColumn(name = "group_id", nullable = false) },
inverseJoinColumns = { #JoinColumn(name="location_id", nullable = false) })
private List<Location> locationList;
#Column(name="description")
private String desciption;
4 - Trainer - an instructor concerned of holding lessons for respective groups of student who take specific course:
#Entity
#Table(name = "Trainers")
#Getter #Setter #NoArgsConstructor
public class Trainer {
#Id
#SequenceGenerator(name = "trainerIdSequence", sequenceName = "trainerIdSequence", allocationSize = 1, initialValue = 1)
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator = "trainerIdSequence")
#Column(name = "trainer_id")
private Short trainer_id;
#Column(name="first_name")
private String firstName;
#Column(name="second_name")
private String secondName;
#Column(name="last_name)")
private String lastName;
#Column(name="photo_file_path")
private String photoFilePath;
#ManyToOne
#JoinColumn(name="specialization_id", referencedColumnName = "id", nullable = false, unique = true)
private Specialization specialization;
#ManyToMany(cascade = {CascadeType.ALL})
#JoinTable(
name="groups",
joinColumns = { #JoinColumn(name = "trainer_id", nullable = false) },
inverseJoinColumns = { #JoinColumn(name="group_id", nullable = false) })
private List<Group> groupList;
Because of difficulties when running code with Specialization objects, SpecializationService to be posted here:
#Service
public class SpecializationService {
#Autowired
private SpecializationRepository specializationRepository;
public SpecializationService(SpecializationRepository specializationRepository) {
this.specializationRepository = specializationRepository;
}
public void createSpecialization(Specialization specialization) {
specializationRepository.save(specialization);
}
public List<Specialization> findALL() {
return (List<Specialization>) specializationRepository.findAll();
}
public List<Specialization> getSpecializations() {
List<Specialization> specializations = new ArrayList<>();
specializationRepository.findAll().forEach(specializations::add);
return specializations;
}
}
SpecializationController code:
#RestController
public class SpecializationController {
#Autowired
SpecializationService specializationService;
#RequestMapping("/specialization")
public List<Specialization> getSpecializations() {
return specializationService.getSpecializations();
}
#RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST, value = "/specialization/create")
public void createSpecialization(#RequestBody Specialization spec) {
specializationService.createSpecialization(spec);
}
}
Additively, there is relevant sql create table stuff:
CREATE SEQUENCE category_id_sequence;
CREATE TABLE Health_Categories (
id SMALLINT NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval('category_id_sequence') PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(30) DEFAULT NULL,
state SMALLINT NOT NULL,
last_update TIMESTAMP
);
-- Specialization --
CREATE SEQUENCE specialization_id_sequence;
CREATE TABLE Specializations (
id SMALLINT NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval('specialization_id_sequence') PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(50) DEFAULT NULL,
health_category_id SMALLINT REFERENCES health_categories (id),
photo_file_path VARCHAR(50) DEFAULT NULL,
CONSTRAINT specialization_ibfk_1 FOREIGN KEY (id) REFERENCES health_categories (id)
);
Once executing #SpringBootApplication class as follows:
#SpringBootApplication
public class DatabaseComponentsApplication {
#Autowired
private HealthCategoryService categoryService;
#Autowired
private SpecializationService specializationService;
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(DatabaseComponentsApplication.class, args);
}
#EventListener(ApplicationReadyEvent.class)
private void testJpaMethods() {
HealthCategory cat2 = new HealthCategory();
Date date = new Date();
Timestamp ts = new Timestamp(date.getTime());
cat2.setLast_update(ts);
cat2.setName("Test2");
cat2.setSpecialization(null);
cat2.setState((short) 8);
categoryService.createCategory(cat2);
Specialization spec = new Specialization();
spec.setCategory(cat2);
spec.setName("Soccer");
spec.setPhotoFilePath(null);
specializationService.createSpecialization(spec);
specializationService.getSpecializations().forEach(it -> System.out.println(it));
}
}
it complains due to wrongness I still can't figure out to manage:

Is there any problem with calling findAll() method.
public List<Specialization> findAll() {
return (List<Specialization>) specializationRepository.findAll();
}
Can you replace getSpecializations() method
specializationService.getSpecializations().forEach(it -> System.out.println(it));
with findALL() method
specializationService.findALL().forEach(it -> System.out.println(it));
and see if it works ?

Micronaut - not possible to use PersistenceContext

I'am new to micronaut and I try to follow this little project. However I would like it to work with postgres.
My application.yml looks like this:
micronaut:
application:
name: hello-world
datasources:
default:
url: 'jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/test'
username: test
password: test
driver-class-name: org.postgresql.Driver
jpa:
default:
properties:
hibernate:
hbm2ddl:
auto: update
show_sql: true
I have access to the database via intellij.
In the pom.xml I have the following dependencies:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.postgresql</groupId>
<artifactId>postgresql</artifactId>
<version>42.2.8</version>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>io.micronaut.configuration</groupId>
<artifactId>micronaut-jdbc-hikari</artifactId>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>io.micronaut.configuration</groupId>
<artifactId>micronaut-hibernate-jpa</artifactId>
</dependency>
Additionally it is mentioned in the link that one needs annotionProcessor, so I added this to my build profile:
<annotationProcessorPaths>
<path>
<groupId>javax.persistence</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.persistence-api</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
</path>
</annotationProcessorPaths>
So now everytime I try to do the following:
#PersistenceContext
private EntityManager entityManager;
I get the following error:
Caused by: io.micronaut.context.exceptions.NoSuchBeanException: No bean of type [javax.persistence.EntityManager] exists. Make sure the bean is not disabled by bean requirements (enable trace logging for 'io.micronaut.context.condition' to check) and if the bean is enabled then ensure the class is declared a bean and annotation processing is enabled (for Java and Kotlin the 'micronaut-inject-java' dependency should be configured as an annotation processor).
However I already have annotation processing enabled. And I also have a #Entity-class:
#Entity
#Table(name = "users")
public class User {
#NotBlank
#Column(name = "name")
private String userName;
public User() {
}
public User(#NotBlank final String userName) {
this.userName = userName;
}
public String getUserName() {
return userName;
}
public void setUserName(final String userName) {
this.userName = userName;
}
}
What exactly am I missing in my setup?
There were multiple issues with my setup.
datasource and jpa need to be at root level
The #Entity needs a #Id
So in the end the application.yml looks like this:
micronaut:
application:
name: hello-world
datasources:
default:
url: 'jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/test'
username: test
password: test
driver-class-name: org.postgresql.Driver
jpa:
default:
packages-to-scan:
- 'test'
properties:
hibernate:
hbm2ddl:
auto: update
show_sql: true
And the #Entity-Class needs an #Id-Attribute:
#Entity
#Table(name = "users")
public class User {
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
private Long id;
#NotBlank
#Column(name = "user_name")
private String userName;
public User() {
}
public User(#NotBlank final String userName) {
this.userName = userName;
}
public String getUserName() {
return userName;
}
public void setUserName(final String userName) {
this.userName = userName;
}
#Override
public String toString() {
return "User{" +
"userName='" + userName + '\'' +
'}';
}
}

Spring data mongoDb not null annotation like Spring data Jpa

Like spring-data-jpa have #NotNull annotation what can be used for this in spring-data-mongodb.?
javax.validation.constraints.NotNull itself could be used with spring-data-mongodb. For this you need to have following in place.
JSR-303 dependencies added in your pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
<version>5.3.4.Final</version>
</dependency>
Declare appropriate validators and validator event listeners
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.mapping.event.ValidatingMongoEventListener;
import org.springframework.validation.beanvalidation.LocalValidatorFactoryBean;
#Configuration
public class Configuration {
#Bean
public ValidatingMongoEventListener validatingMongoEventListener() {
return new ValidatingMongoEventListener(validator());
}
#Bean
public LocalValidatorFactoryBean validator() {
return new LocalValidatorFactoryBean();
}
}
Add #NotNull annotation in your MongoDB POJO
import org.springframework.data.annotation.Id;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.mapping.Document;
import javax.validation.constraints.NotNull;
#Document(collection = "user_account")
public class User {
#Id
private String userId;
#NotNull(message = "User's first name must not be null")
private String firstName;
#NotNull(message = "User's last name must not be null")
private String lastName;
}
With this configuration and implementation, if you persist User object with null values, then you will see failure with javax.validation.ConstraintViolationException
Remember: if using #SpringBootApplication, make sure that Spring can scan your Configuration file. Otherwise, you may use #ComponentScan("com.mypackage").
