im trying to learn how restful service works in java. but i came across this problem which i cant seem to figure out. i'm trying to call this controller to which will take data and store it in a database. but the exception i get is something i haven't came across before. if i remove the model class as a parameter and try to return just a basic string it works fine. but my goal is to store what ever data that is passed to the controller in a database.
enter code here
person.java // model class
@Entity
@Table(name = "Person")
@EntityListeners(AuditingEntityListener.class)
@JsonIgnoreProperties(value = {"createdAt", "updatedAt"}, allowGetters = true)
public class Person implements Serializable {
@JsonProperty("key")
public int getKey() {
return key;
}
public void setKey(int key) {
this.key = key;
}
@JsonProperty("name")
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
@JsonProperty("m")
public int getMotherKey() {
return motherKey;
}
public void setMotherKey(int motherKey) {
this.motherKey = motherKey;
}
@JsonProperty("f")
public int getFatherKey() {
return fatherKey;
}
public void setFatherKey(int fatherKey) {
this.fatherKey = fatherKey;
}
@JsonProperty("dob")
public int getDateOfBirth() {
return DateOfBirth;
}
public void setDateOfBirth(int dateOfBirth) {
DateOfBirth = dateOfBirth;
}
@JsonProperty("g")
public String getGender() {
return gender;
}
public void setGender(String gender) {
this.gender = gender;
}
public Person() {
}
@NotNull
int key;
@NotBlank
String name;
@NotNull
int motherKey;
@NotNull
int fatherKey;
@NotNull
int DateOfBirth; //19921210->December 10th 1992
@NotBlank

Spring Boot is a Java framework, built on top of the Spring, used for developing web applications. It allows you to create REST APIs with minimal configurations. A few benefits of using Spring Boot for your REST APIs include: No requirement for complex XML configurations.
Spring REST Docs helps you to document RESTful services. It combines hand-written documentation written with Asciidoctor and auto-generated snippets produced with Spring MVC Test. This approach frees you from the limitations of the documentation produced by tools like Swagger.
Spring Rest Client Program Below is a simple program invoking our application rest methods using RestTemplate API.
The problem is that treeRepository
is not injected by Spring and thus is null
.
First, make sure that the TreeRepository
is properly configured by adding @EnableJpaRepositories(basePackages = "<package of your repository interface>")
) to your Spring config class (FamilyTreeApplication
).
Then to inject it properly, you should either add an @Autowired
annotation :
@Autowired
private TreeRepository treeRepository;
or have it injected in a constructor, which is the preferred way according to the Spring team.
private TreeRepository treeRepository;
//@Autowired not needed, implicit as of Spring 4.3
public FamilityTreeController(TreeRepository treeRepository) {
this.treeRepository = treeRepository;
}
Also there's something off with your package hierarchy that might impact how components are found by Spring Boot : your main config class (FamilyTreeApplication
) should be located in the app "base package" and all other classes in sub packages, something like that :
com.example.familytree
