SpringBOOT : Saving object in API

Question

Not able to save the JSON object passing through postman. Here are the files:

@Entity
@Table(name = "hardwares")
public class HardwaresList {

    @Id
    @Column(name = "hardwareId")
    private int hardwareId;

    @Column(name = "hardwareName")
    private String hardwareName;

    @Override
    public String toString(){
        return this.id + " " + this.hardwareName;
    }
}

HardwareListService

package com.hardware.procurement.hardware;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

@Service
public class HardwareListService {

    @Autowired
    private HardwareListRepo hardwareListRepo;

    public void saveOrUpdateHardware(HardwaresList list){
        hardwareListRepo.save(list);
    }

HardwareRepo

package com.hardware.procurement.hardware;

import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository;
import org.springframework.data.repository.CrudRepository;

import java.util.List;

public interface HardwareListRepo extends CrudRepository<HardwaresList, Long> {

}

HardwareController

package com.hardware.procurement.hardware;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.http.HttpHeaders;
import org.springframework.http.HttpStatus;
import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/procurement")
public class HardwareListController {

    @Autowired
    private HardwareListService hardwareListService;

    @PostMapping("/hardwares")
    public void saveHardware(@RequestBody HardwaresList hardwaresList){
        hardwareListService.saveOrUpdateHardware(hardwaresList);
    }

And this is how I am sending body from the postman but I am getting data integrity violation. Even though I am sending unique values. Please help me out with this.

Answer 1

could not execute statement; SQL [n/a]; constraint ["PRIMARY KEY ON PUBLIC.HARDWARES(HARDWAREID) [0, NULL]

Your entity seems invalid. The entity doesn't have getters or setters for them and JPA would have no idea how to set them. See the error that says hardware ID is 0 though you explicitly passed '1'. Try generating the getters and setters for your entity.

Answer 2

You are using GenerationType.IDENTITY which reads in the documentation as “Indicates that the persistence provider must assign primary keys for the entity using a database identity column.” This means that unless your database supports this (it seems it does not) you might need to change the generation type. I would suggest you to consider using SEQUENCE instead. Take a look at this article —> https://www.baeldung.com/hibernate-identifiers.
