JPA repository save method inserts NULL values in MySQL instead of values provided by json request

I’m new to spring. I want to add a row in MySQL database by a post request using POSTMAN via Spring boot project.
I send a post request with a json body providing neccessary values for the table. but when I check the table I see that NULL values are inserted in table. Can you please help me prevent inserting null values in table.

Answer

You have issues in ResgisterRequest setters. username = username; assigns value to the same variable. It should be this.user_name = user_name;

class ResgisterRequest {

    private String user_name;
    private String password;
    private String email;

    public String getUser_name() {
        return user_name;
    }

    public void setUser_name(String user_name) {
        this.user_name = user_name;
    }

    public String getPassword() {
        return password;
    }

    public void setPassword(String password) {
        this.password = password;
    }

    public String getEmail() {
        return email;
    }

    public void setEmail(String email) {
        this.email = email;
    }
}
