Spring boot - save non-id field depending on id field while saving object
I have an auto increment id field in spring boot class:
private long id //or it can be int, does not matter
I have also another field, which must be unique and alphanumeric, in same class:
private String code;
This field will have 6 alphanumeric (upper or lower case does not matter).
Is it possible to save this field auto while a new object created for that class, with such a method?
Long.toString("id_field_value",36);
Actually, it gives:
0 -> 0
1 -> 1
10 -> A
So, when first object is created, id will be 1.
Any suggestion?
For example, when i save Person object,
the id will be 1 automatically with JPA - hibarnate.
And also i want another field to be saved automatically, which is depending on id field.
So, id is 1, that string code must be 1 also.
Should i do this after creating object ? Like:
Person person = personRepository.save(person3);
person.setCode(person.getId().toString);//or another functions
java hibernate jpa

Apart form appearing completely pointless, you need to clarify what it is you want to do.You state this field will have 6 alphanumeric (upper or lower case does not matter) but also when string code must be 1 also. So what is it 1 char or 6 chars. Why do you specify 36 as an arg. What are you expecting that to do?

Nov 13 '18 at 16:05
I need another unique field. It must be alphanumeric. 26 capital letters + 10 numbers make 36 so i thought it will be best. E2E user will see this code on the UI and also we are using that field in some codes @AlanHay

You can try @PostPersist annotation. You will have an id in your entity as soon as it is persisted. Something like:
@PostPersist
private void postPersist() {
this.setCode( generateMyCode( getId() ) );
}
This works fine as long as EntityManager is used, the field code should also be persisted to the db.
When using Spring repositories it might be needed to perform extra save() (I do not have to, having just default config) after initial save but you should test this approach with your configuration.
(Spring repositories handle persistence context a bit different way compared to the JPA standard usage with EntityManager.)

@asdasasd Default was a bit bad wording. Repository uses em but not in 'default mode' it starts transaction. When you just inject em all changes to managed entities propagate to db withoutpersist()orsave(). But with repositories - with default settings - you always need to callsave(..). AndpostPersist()might work differently depending on the settings.

Required, but never shown
Apart form appearing completely pointless, you need to clarify what it is you want to do.You state this field will have 6 alphanumeric (upper or lower case does not matter) but also when string code must be 1 also. So what is it 1 char or 6 chars. Why do you specify 36 as an arg. What are you expecting that to do?

I need another unique field. It must be alphanumeric. 26 capital letters + 10 numbers make 36 so i thought it will be best. E2E user will see this code on the UI and also we are using that field in some codes @AlanHay
