I am unable to retrieve embedded .I am using Spring boot ,spring data rest and spring JPA. I have 3 tables in data base
- user
- competency
- user_competency (join/composite table with extra column)
User
@Entity
@Table(name = "\"user\"", schema = "public")
@JsonIdentityInfo(
generator = ObjectIdGenerators.IntSequenceGenerator.class,
property = "userId")
public class User implements java.io.Serializable {
private Long userId;
@Id @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
@Column(name = "user_id", unique = true, nullable = false)
public Long getUserId() {
return this.userId;
}
public void setUserId(Long userId) {
this.userId = userId;
}
private Set<UserCompetency> userCompetencies = new HashSet<UserCompetency>(0);
@OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.EAGER,cascade = {CascadeType.ALL}, mappedBy = "user")
public Set<UserCompetency> getUserCompetencies() {
return this.userCompetencies;
}
public void setUserCompetencies(Set<UserCompetency> userCompetencies) {
this.userCompetencies = userCompetencies;
}
}
**Competency**
@Entity
@Table(name = "competency", schema = "public")
@JsonIdentityInfo(
generator = ObjectIdGenerators.IntSequenceGenerator.class,
property = "competencyId")
public class Competency implements java.io.Serializable {
private Long competencyId;
private Set<UserCompetency> userCompetencies = new HashSet<UserCompetency>(0);
@Id @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
@Column(name = "competency_id", unique = true, nullable = false)
public Long getCompetencyId() {
return this.competencyId;
}
public void setCompetencyId(Long competencyId) {
this.competencyId = competencyId;
}
@OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, mappedBy = "competency")

}
UserCompetency

public Competency getCompetency() {
return this.competency;
}
public void setCompetency(Competency competency) {

}
UserCompetencyId
@Embeddable

return false;
UserCompetencyId castOther = (UserCompetencyId) other;
return (this.getCompetencyId() == castOther.getCompetencyId()) && (this.getUserId() == castOther.getUserId());
}
}
UserCompetencyRepository
public interface UserCompetencyRepository extends JpaRepository<UserCompetency, UserCompetencyId> {

and I want to perform GET using URI,it return me embedded object and cannot get real value of objects attributes
GET http://localhost:8080/userCompetencies
How Can I get attribute values of User and Competency object where userId=8 Help is required
After implementing suggested Projection Issue still not resolved and here is screen shot
One way would be to use projections like for example:
With this the project list will be embedded in the result for http://localhost:8080/api/employee/1?projection=edit
Projections would be used automatically if you add
excerptProjection
to you repository like described here: How to expose a complete tree structure with Spring Data REST and HATEOAS?See for example here: https://shinesolutions.com/2015/04/15/spring-data-rest-and-projections/
EDITED
In you case a projection would look like:
With http://localhost:8080/userCompetencies?projection=edit you would then see wanted result.
EDITED 2 The code I used:
Competency.class
UserCompetency.class
UserCompetencyId.class
UserCompetencyRepository.class
It worked out ,actually i was missing annotation of
@RepositoryRestResource(excerptProjection = UserCompetencyProjection.class)
on UserCompetencyRepository class now the output look like this I am skipping as it is output , and putting necessary output.
