Play Framework, OneToOne relationship not working
database, java, jpa, playframework, sql
Solution
I used both your models as you posted in the above link and tested successfully. As @Andrei mentioned in his comment the problem is not in mapping, it should be the way you saving them. Following are the code snippets i used for testing.
User
@Entity
public class User extends Model{
/ ..... fields as it is in your post
public User(String user_id){
this.userId = user_id;
}
public static Finder<Long, User> find = new Finder<Long, User>(Long.class, User.class)
public static User findByUserID(String user_id){
/* Your models already in bi-directional relationship, so there is no need for external `fetch`, You can directly get `UserLegalName` object from `User`
model if there is any match found on `UserLegalName` for the input. */
return find.where().eq("userId",user_id).findUnique();
}
}
UserLegalName
@Entity
public class UserLegalName extends Model {
/ ..... fields as it is in your post
public UserLegalName(User user_id, String first_name, String last_name){
this.user = user_id;
this.firstName = first_name;
this.lastName = last_name;
}
}
Controller
public class TestController extends Controller {
public static Result insertUser(String user_id, String fname, String lname)
{
User user = new User(user_id);
UserLegalName legal = new UserLegalName(user,fname,lname);
user.legalName = legal;
user.save();
return ok(user.legalName.firstName);
}
public static Result getUser(String user_id)
{
User user = User.findByUserID(user_id);
return ok(user.legalName.firstName);
}
}
Routes
GET /test/:userID/:fname/:lname controllers.TestController.insertUser(userID : String, fname : String, lname : String)
GET /user/:userID controllers.TestController.getUser(userID : String)
Problem
I am using Play Framework(Java flavor) for a project. In this project I have two models which I would like to create a `OneToOne` relationship between. I have a `User` model and a `UserLegalName` model. I would like each `User` to have a `UserLegalName` model. `User` model code `UserLegalName` model code The issue is that the `User` and the `UserLegalName` do not seam to getting "related" The `user_user_id` column is always `NULL`. I have tried `JoinColumn(name = "user_id")` for the `User` in `UserLegalName` but this does not work either Edit: After taking @Sivakumar answer and fixing my code the `UserLegalName` is now storing correctly However when I attempt to get the `UserLegalName` for a user, it still turns up `null` ``` User.find.where().eq("userId", userId).findUnique() ``` Which returns ``` {"userId":"f5ea6d1d-d22d-4127-b6e7-0b3d0446edfe","legalName":null} ``` Edit 2: You can add `fetch=FetchType.EAGER` to the `OneToOne` annotation in the `User` model and that will fetch the `UserLegalName` every time. However in reality the `User` model is much more complicated. It holds many more relationships. Is there a different way to do this? By keeping the fetch type as `EAGER` it could create inefficient queries(EX: I only want the users email, in a separate table, but it also queries the `User_Legal_Name` table)
