Spring boot sort.by() No property found for type

@Entity
public class MemberSchedule {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    @Getter @Setter
    private long id;

    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name = "member_id")
    @Getter @Setter
    private Member member;

    @Getter @Setter
    private String content;

    @Getter @Setter
    private LocalDateTime start_time;

    @Getter @Setter
    private LocalDateTime end_time;

    @Getter @Setter
    private Boolean finish;

    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name = "interest_id")
    @JsonProperty("interest")
    @Getter @Setter
    private Interest interest;
}

@GetMapping
public Iterable<MemberSchedule> getMemberSchedule(@PathVariable long user_id) {
    return memberScheduleRepository.findAll(Sort.by("start_time"));
}

I have MemberSchedule Entity and I want to get all items sorted by "start_time", but error occurs with message No property start found for type Member Schedule!.

I think the reason is Sort.by() didn’t recognize _ string. Because using other property like "content" works well.

@GetMapping
public Iterable<MemberSchedule> getMemberSchedule(@PathVariable long user_id) {
    return memberScheduleRepository.findAll(Sort.by("content"));
}

How can I solve this problem?

Answer

Adding my comment as an answer:

You should use camelCase for naming variables in Java. If you need to then match the variable with one in snake case (let’s say it’s named start_time in a json file) you can use annotations like @JsonProperty
