I am learning springboot and I’ve encountered problem while creating new entities through POST requests. While creating one entity I can use Json in POST request but while creating others I can’t.
Method working as expected
The one working properly looks like this.
@Entity
@Getter
@Setter
public class AccountingGroup {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Long groupId;
private Long userId;
private String groupName;
@OneToMany
@JoinColumn(name = "groupId", updatable = false, insertable = false)
List<Participant> participants;
}
I have also created data transfer object for this entity:
@Getter
@Setter
@Builder
public class GroupDto {
private Long groupId;
private Long userId;
private String groupName;
}
and data transfer object mapper:
public class GroupDtoMapper {
private GroupDtoMapper() {
}
public static List<GroupDto> mapToGroupDto(List<AccountingGroup> groups){
return groups.stream()
.map(gr -> mapToDto(gr))
.collect(Collectors.toList());
}
public static GroupDto mapToDto(AccountingGroup group) {
return GroupDto.builder()
.groupId(group.getGroupId())
.userId(group.getUserId())
.groupName(group.getGroupName())
.build();
}
}
controller for creating this entity looks like this:
@RestController
@RequiredArgsConstructor
public class GroupsController {
private final GroupService groupService;
@PostMapping(path="/group")
public GroupDto addAccountingGroup(@RequestBody AccountingGroup group){
return groupService.addGroup(group);
}
}
and GroupService looks like this:
@Service
@RequiredArgsConstructor
public class GroupService {
private final GroupRepository groupRepository;
public GroupDto addGroup(AccountingGroup group) {
group.setParticipants(null);
return GroupDtoMapper.mapToGroupDto(Collections.singletonList(groupRepository.save(group))).get(0);
}
Swagger-ui console for this method looks like this:swagger-console-group
and the response looks like expected:swagger-response-group
Malfunctioning method
Then I have another entity called Participant that is connected with AccountingGroup through a relation:
@Entity
@Getter
@Setter
public class Participant {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Long participantId;
private String name;
private Long groupId;
@OneToMany
@JoinColumn(name = "expenditureId", updatable = false, insertable = false)
List<Expenditure> expenditures;
@OneToMany
@JoinColumn(name="participantId", updatable = false, insertable = false)
List<Debtors> owing;
}
it also has it’s data transfer object:
@Getter
@Setter
@Builder
public class ParticipantDto {
private Long participantId;
private String name;
private List<ExpenditureDto> expenditureDto;
}
public class ParticipantDtoMapper {
private ParticipantDtoMapper() {
}
public static List<ParticipantDto> mapToParticipantDtos(List<Participant> participants) {
return participants.stream()
.map(participant -> mapToDtos(participant))
.collect(Collectors.toList());
}
public static ParticipantDto mapToDtos(Participant participant) {
return ParticipantDto.builder()
.participantId(participant.getParticipantId())
.name(participant.getName())
.build();
}
}
and controller:
@RestController
@RequiredArgsConstructor
public class ParticiapntsController {
public final ParticipantService participantService;
@PostMapping(path="/participant")
public ParticipantDto addParticipant(@RequestBody Participant participant){
return participantService.addParticipant(participant);
}
}
@Service
@RequiredArgsConstructor
public class ParticipantService {
public ParticipantDto addParticipant(Participant participant) {
groupRepository.findById(participant.getGroupId()).orElseThrow();
participant.setOwing(null);
participant.setExpenditures(null);
return ParticipantDtoMapper.mapToParticipantDtos(Collections.singletonList(participantRepository.save(participant))).get(0);
}
}
So logic here is similar to this in AccountingGroup. However here I can’t send Json object in the POST request. Swagger-ui console looks like this:swagger-console-participant and the response looks like this:swagger-response-participant So participant is added correctly however I can’t use Json in the requet and I don’t know why. When I tried to make a POST request with json through Python it worked fine for AccountingGroup but for Particiapnt I got this error:
import requests
url = "http://localhost:8080/participant"
params = {"groupId": 4,
"name": 'next user'}
resp = requests.post(url, json=params)
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The given id must not be null!

Answer
I finally solved this problem. In GroupsController I had the following import
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestBody;
and in ParticipantsController
import io.swagger.v3.oas.annotations.parameters.RequestBody;
When I set both imports to this one from GroupsController everything works as expected.
