Hibernate one to many input using json with POSTMAN - json

Question

The problem is one to many hibernate mapping is not working in this json format. I think it's a logical error, syntax error is not shown.
My Controller is:
#RequestMapping(value = "/save", method = RequestMethod.POST, produces =MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE,headers="Accept=application/json,application/xml")
public #ResponseBody JsonRecord setCurrentDataList(#RequestBody Employee emp) {
try {
int id=employeeServices.save(emp);
} catch (Exception e) {
return new JsonRecord(false,e.getMessage());
}
return new JsonRecord(true,"Successful",emp);
}
Employee Entity Class is:
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.List;
import javax.persistence.CascadeType;
import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.FetchType;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;

import javax.persistence.ManyToOne;

#Entity

public class Employee implements Serializable{

private List<Education> education;
public Integer getEmpId() {
return empId;
}
public void setEmpId(Integer empId) {
this.empId = empId;
}
public String getEmpName() {
return empName;
}
public void setEmpName(String empName) {
this.empName = empName;
}
public String getEmpAddress() {
return empAddress;
}
public void setEmpAddress(String empAddress) {
this.empAddress = empAddress;
}
public double getSalary() {
return salary;
}
public void setSalary(double d) {
this.salary = d;
}
public Integer getEmpAge() {

}
public void setEmpAge(Integer empAge) {
this.empAge = empAge;
}
#OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.EAGER, mappedBy = "employee")
#JsonManagedReference
public List<Education> getEducation() {
return education;
}
public void setEducation(List<Education> education) {
this.education = education;
}
}
Education Entity is:
import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.FetchType;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.JoinColumn;
import javax.persistence.ManyToOne;

#Id

#JsonProperty("qualification")
private String qualification;
#JsonProperty("stream")

private Employee employee;
public int getEduID() {
return eduID;
}
public void setEduID(int eduID) {
this.eduID = eduID;
}
public String getQualification() {
return qualification;
}
public void setQualification(String qualification) {
this.qualification = qualification;
}
public String getStream() {

}
public void setStream(String stream) {

}
#ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
#JoinColumn(name = "empId", nullable = false)
#JsonBackReference
public Employee getEmployee() {
return employee;
}
public void setEmployee(Employee employee) {
this.employee = employee;
}
}
JSON input:
{
"empName": "myname",
"empAddress": "my address",
"salary": 1000,
"empAge": 24,
"education":[{
"qualification":"mca",
"stream":"mca"
}]
}
One to many mapping is not working with this json format.How to implement this mapping in json format? Please give me your valuable suggestions.

Answer 1

use
#OneToMany(cascade={CascadeType.ALL})
#Fetch(FetchMode.JOIN)
#JoinColumn(name="empId", referencedColumnName="empId")
private Set<Education> education;
instead of,
#OneToMany(mappedBy="employee",cascade=CascadeType.ALL,fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
#Fetch(FetchMode.SELECT)
private List<Education> education;
