I am using Spring Data to pull and control data from a mysql database. I have been having problems putting this data into a table. I am using Vaadin and following these tutorials:
https://vaadin.com/learn/tutorials/modern-web-apps-with-spring-boot-and-vaadin/spring-boot-backend-database-jpa-repositories-services
(but am trying to adapt for my own purposes). The tutorial creates an AbstractEntity
from which other entities extend. From what I have worked out, this is some form of entity manager which I believe attempts to distinguish unique entities. As I was just attempting to see how all of these objects fit together, I decided to create only one entity and extend it from this AbstractEntity
named Stock
. This Stock
Class is defined as follows:
package com.stockmachine.v2.backend.entity;
import javax.persistence.*;
import javax.validation.constraints.Email;
import javax.validation.constraints.NotEmpty;
import javax.validation.constraints.NotNull;
@Entity
@Table (name="stock_info")
public class Stock extends AbstractEntity implements Cloneable {
@Id
private String Ticker;
private String Region;
public String getTicker() {
return Ticker;
}
public void setTicker(String ticker) {
Ticker = ticker;
}
public String getRegion() {
return Region;
}
public void setRegion(String region) {
Region = region;
}
}
This links to a table in my mysql database named "stock_info", the table has more than two columns but I was only testing, so I decided to only create variables for two of these columns, 'Region' and 'Ticker'. This is just a database with a list of stock tickers and has some information about them, one of the bits of information being the region.
The AbstractEntity
is defined as follows:
package com.stockmachine.v2.backend.entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.MappedSuperclass;
@MappedSuperclass
public abstract class AbstractEntity {
}
I also have the following StockService
Service defined as follows:
import com.stockmachine.v2.backend.entity.Stock;
import com.stockmachine.v2.backend.repository.StockRepository;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
@Service
public class StockService {
private static final Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(StockService.class.getName());
private StockRepository stockRepository;
public StockService(StockRepository stockRepository) {
this.stockRepository = stockRepository;
}
public List<Stock> findAll() {
return stockRepository.findAll();
}
public long count() {
return stockRepository.count();
}
public void delete(Stock stock) {
stockRepository.delete(stock);
}
public void save(Stock stock) {
if (stock == null) {
LOGGER.log(Level.SEVERE,
"Contact is null. Are you sure you have connected your form to the application?");
return;
}
stockRepository.save(stock);
}
}
and repository:
package com.stockmachine.v2.backend.repository;
import com.stockmachine.v2.backend.entity.Stock;
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository;
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.Query;
import org.springframework.data.repository.query.Param;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;
import java.util.List;
@Repository
public interface StockRepository extends JpaRepository<Stock, String> {
}
And the main view ui is:
package com.stockmachine.v2.ui;
import com.vaadin.flow.component.orderedlayout.VerticalLayout;
import com.vaadin.flow.router.Route;
import com.stockmachine.v2.backend.entity.Stock;
import com.vaadin.flow.component.grid.Grid;
import com.stockmachine.v2.backend.service.StockService;
@Route("")
public class MainView extends VerticalLayout {
private StockService stockService;
private Grid<Stock> grid = new Grid<>(Stock.class);
public MainView(StockService stockService) {
addClassName("list-view");
setSizeFull();
configureGrid();
add(grid);
updateList();
}
private void configureGrid() {
grid.addClassName("stock-grid");
grid.setSizeFull();
grid.setColumns("ticker","region");
}
private void updateList() {
grid.setItems(stockService.findAll());
}
}
From what I understand (may be completely wrong), the main view will create an instance of the service class StockService
which creates an instance of the StockRepository
which gets various parameters from the Stock
class which is linked to the database table referenced with @Table
.This throws the following errors:
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'com.stockmachine.v2.ui.MainView': Bean instantiation via constructor failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [com.stockmachine.v2.ui.MainView]: Constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "com.stockmachine.v2.backend.service.StockService.findAll()" because "this.stockService" is null
