I´m getting a lazy initialization exception. A have a controller method with the annotation

  • 0

I´m getting a lazy initialization exception. A have a controller method with the annotation @Transactional, it invokes a service method ( it not has the @Transactional annotation), and finally inside that method I invoke another spring component (it checks if the user has the proper role).

In the project I used the @Transactional and i have no problems. But in this case i have the lazy initialization exception.

Am I missing something?

Here is the code:

and here is the method that is first executed. It has the @Transactional annotation

@Transactional
    public CompanyForm edit(){
        CompanyForm form = new CompanyForm();
        Company company = companyService.findMainOne(getLoggedUser());
        if (company != null) {
            if (company != null)
                modelMapper.map(company, form);
        }
        return form;
    }

This is the method in a service where the code is called

@Autowired
    private UserVisitorHasBussinessRole hasBussinessRole;

@Override
    public Company findMainOne(User user) {
        if (user == null)
            throw new NullPointerException("the user can not be null");
        user.accept(hasBussinessRole);
        List<Company> companies = this.companyRepository.findOwnedBy(user
                .getId());
        if (companies != null && companies.size() > 0)
            return companies.get(0);
        return null;
    }

This component checks if the user has the proper role. This is where i got the exception

@Component
public class UserVisitorHasBussinessRole implements UserVisitor {

    @Autowired
    private Messages messages;

    @Override
    public void visit(SystemUser user) {
        if(user == null || user.getUserRoles() == null || user.getUserRoles().isEmpty())
        {
            String message = messages.get("hasBussinesRoleVisitor.noRole");
            throw new RuntimeException(message);
        }
        Boolean hasRole = false;
        for (UserRole role : user.getUserRoles()) {
            if(role instanceof UserRoleBusiness){
                hasRole = true;
                break;
            }
        }
        if(!hasRole)
        {
            String message = messages.get("hasBussinesRoleVisitor.noRole");
            throw new RuntimeException(message);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void visit(SocialUser user) {
        String message = messages.get("hasBussinesRoleVisitor.noRole");
        throw new RuntimeException(message);
    }

}

This is where the exception is thrown

user.getUserRoles().isEmpty()

The entity:

@Entity
@DiscriminatorValue(value = "BU")
public class SystemUser extends User {

    /**
     * 
     */
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 3845147625976106863L;

    // for joing the tables (many-to-many)
    @ManyToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, targetEntity = UserRole.class)
    @JoinTable(name = "systemUser_userRole", joinColumns = { @JoinColumn(name = "system_user_id") }, inverseJoinColumns = { @JoinColumn(name = "role_Id") })
    private List<UserRole> userRoles;

    /**
     * the list of user roles
     * @return the user roles
     */
    public List<UserRole> getUserRoles() {
        return userRoles;
    }

    /***
     * set the list of user roles
     * @param userRoles the user roles
     */
    public void setUserRoles(List<UserRole> userRoles) {
        this.userRoles = userRoles;
    }
}

I’m getting the following exception

    This happens when a lazy initialized object is read when the original transaction is already completed. In other words, when you return something from a method with @Transactional annotation all objects must be initialized (no way to access lazy objects after returning from the method). So use lazy=”false” in this case to resolve the issue (or force lazy initialization inside the method).
