Saving integer array using Spring Data JPA












0















I am using spring data jpa with hibernate and postgres. I am trying to save an integer array in a column. I am using vlad mihaceas library for persisting the array into postgresql. The entity is as follows:-



@Type(type = "int-array")
@Column(name = "location", columnDefinition = "integer")
private Integer locations;


The corresponding location entity is



@Entity
@Table(name = "location_master")
public class Location implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
private int id;
@Column(name = "location_name")
private String locationName;
}


The location ids are being saved in the db. But I am not able to display the in thymeleaf.



<tr>
<td>Selected Locations</td>
<td>[[${office.locations[0].locationName}]]</td>
</tr>


The following error has come up:-




org.springframework.expression.spel.SpelEvaluationException: EL1008E:
Property or field 'locationName' cannot be found on object of type
'java.lang.Integer' - maybe not public or not valid?

    Well, the message says it all. Why do you think you can get a locationName out of an Integer? That makes no sense. An Integer is an Integer. Not a Location. If you want a Collection<Location>, then use a Collection<Location>, and make it a OneToMany association between your unknown entity and the Location entity.

  • @JB Nizet I want to save the selected location ids in the database as array. I already tried with List<Integer> which gave the error Use of OneToMany or ManyToMany targeting an unmapped class. As Hibernate maps only primitive types, i was using vlad mihalcea's library

  • That's not proper database design. Use foreign keys, join columns, join tables, and associations between entities.

org.springframework.expression.spel.SpelEvaluationException: EL1008E: Property or field 'locationName' cannot be found on object of type 'java.lang.Integer' - maybe not public or not valid?




The error has nothing to do with the use of the int-array of the hibernate-types project.



The error message is about the Spring Expression Language you used for setting the locationName
which is a String property.



[[${office.locations[0].locationName}]]


The locations property is an Integer, but you treated it as a Location array.



What you want is a @OneToMany List<Location> instead:



@OneToMany(mappedBy="office", cascade = CascadeType.ALL, orphanRemoval = true)
private List<Location> locations = new ArrayList<>();


And a @ManyToOne association in Location:



@ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
private Office office;


Check out this article for more details about the best way to use a @OneToMany association.

  • I know that it is a SpEL error and nothing to do with hibernate-types. Perhaps i could not explain my problem properly. The OneToMany List<Location mapping is also fine with me. My question is whether the location ids will be stored in the database as an integer array by this association.

  • Of course, they will. Check out the hibernate-types tests in the GitHub repository for a proof.

  • I don't need proof. Hibernate types is already working fine for me in jsonb types. I am only confused as how to use @Type type= int-array annotation in these mappings. You also didn't mention it in your answer.

  • I would have mentioned it the exception message would indicate that. Check out this test case to see how to use the int-array mapping. Just compare my test case with yours and see where they differ.
