I have a problem to persist an object into my database.
I have a User with a many-to-one relation with a Profil.
My JSP just add a new user. So, the JSP contains fields and a comboxBox with the profil wanted. The problem is, when I run the program, even if I selected a profil in the comboxBox, the property user.profil is NULL in the controller.
This is the User object:
package com.app.model;
import javax.persistence.CascadeType;
import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.FetchType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.JoinColumn;
import javax.persistence.ManyToOne;
import javax.persistence.Table;
@Entity
@Table(name="user")
public class User {
private long id;
private String firstname;
private String lastname;
private String login;
private String password;
private Profil profil;
public User() {
}
/**
* @param firstname
* @param lastname
* @param login
* @param password
* @param profil
*/
public User(String firstname, String lastname, String login,
String password, Profil profil) {
this.firstname = firstname;
this.lastname = lastname;
this.login = login;
this.password = password;
this.profil = profil;
}
/**
* Get User Id
*
* @return long - User Id
*/
@Id
@Column(name="id", unique = true, nullable = false)
public long getId() {
return id;
}
/**
* Set User Id
*
* @param long - User Id
*/
public void setId(long id) {
this.id = id;
}
/**
* Get User Firstname
*
* @return String - User Firstname
*/
@Column(name="firstname", unique = false, nullable = false)
public String getFirstname() {
return firstname;
}
/**
* Set User Firstname
*
* @param String - User Firstname
*/
public void setFirstname(String firstname) {
this.firstname = firstname;
}
/**
* Get User Lastname
*
* @return String - User Lastname
*/
@Column(name="lastname", unique = false, nullable = false)
public String getLastname() {
return lastname;
}
/**
* Set User Lastname
*
* @param String - User Lastname
*/
public void setLastname(String lastname) {
this.lastname = lastname;
}
/**
* @return the login
*/
@Column(name="login", unique = true, nullable = false)
public String getLogin() {
return login;
}
/**
* @param login the login to set
*/
public void setLogin(String login) {
this.login = login;
}
/**
* @return the password
*/
@Column(name="password", unique = false, nullable = false)
public String getPassword() {
return password;
}
/**
* @param password the password to set
*/
public void setPassword(String password) {
this.password = password;
}
/**
* @return the profil
*/
@ManyToOne( cascade = CascadeType.REFRESH, fetch = FetchType.EAGER )
@JoinColumn( name = "fk_profil_id", nullable = false )
public Profil getProfil() {
return profil;
}
/**
* @param profil the profil to set
*/
public void setProfil(Profil profil) {
this.profil = profil;
}
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see java.lang.Object#toString()
*/
@Override
public String toString() {
return "User [id=" + id + ", firstname=" + firstname + ", lastname="
+ lastname + ", login=" + login + ", password=" + password
+ "]";
}
}
This is the Profil object:
package com.app.model;
import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;
@Entity
@Table(name="profil")
public class Profil {
private long id;
private String name;
public Profil() {
}
/**
* @param id
* @param name
*/
public Profil(long id, String name) {
this.id = id;
this.name = name;
}
/**
* @return the id
*/
@Id
@Column(name="id", unique = true, nullable = false)
public long getId() {
return id;
}
/**
* @param id the id to set
*/
public void setId(long id) {
this.id = id;
}
/**
* @return the name
*/
@Column(name="name", unique = true, nullable = false)
public String getName() {
return name;
}
/**
* @param name the name to set
*/
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see java.lang.Object#toString()
*/
@Override
public String toString() {
return "Profil [id=" + id + "]";
}
}
This is the Controller:
package com.app.web;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.validation.BindingResult;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ModelAttribute;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;
import com.app.model.User;
import com.app.service.impl.ProfilService;
import com.app.service.impl.UserService;
@Controller
@RequestMapping("/users")
public class UserController {
@Autowired
private UserService userService;
@Autowired
private ProfilService profilService;
@ModelAttribute("userForm")
public User createForm()
{
return new User();
}
@RequestMapping(value = "/save", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public ModelAndView saveUser ( @ModelAttribute("userForm") User user, BindingResult result ) {
userService.addUser( user );
return new ModelAndView ( "redirect:/users.html" );
}
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ModelAndView viewUsers() {
Map model = new HashMap();
model.put ( "users", userService.getUsers() );
return new ModelAndView ( "usersView", model );
}
@RequestMapping(value = "/add", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ModelAndView addUser() {
Map model = new HashMap();
model.put ( "profils", profilService.getProfils() );
return new ModelAndView ( "userAdd", model );
}
}
This is the JSP page:

This exception occurs because user.profil is NULL in the controller.
If you need more information, feel free to ask.
And btw, if you notice something wrong or a better way to do, please tell me, I new to spring and spring-mvc.
Thanks a lot
in your JSP Page combo box should have path as below
This will ask spring conversion to create new instance of profil and attach with User.
