Model In Spring Framework For Beginners

By -

Model in programming language is a representative of an object, so if you have a car object, you can define a car model, for example, car brand, car speed, car price, etc. In pseudo code you can create a car model, something like.

Class Car{
String brand;
Integer speed;
Float price;
}

That's called a model. Now in spring framework, you can add some annotation to your model, so that it can be integratted to you database, those model usually will be call as an entity, so the first thing is to set annotation to car class an @Entity annotation.

@Entity
Class car{
String brand;
Integer speed;
Float price;
}

But, that class should have at least an id it is recommended to have an id to whatever model you want create, so you must have an id field.

@Entitypublic class Car{
    @Id    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private Long id;
    private String brand;        private Integer speed;        private Float price;}

Now, your entity is ready, but it useless since it doesn't have any public field to assign any value to our model, so we need to create a getter and setter to our model.

@Entity
public class Car{
    @Id    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private Long id;
    private String brand;        private Integer speed;        private Float price;
    public Long getId() {
        return id;    }

    public void setId(Long id) {
        this.id = id;    }

    public String getBrand() {
        return brand;    }

    public void setBrand(String brand) {
        this.brand = brand;    }

    public Integer getSpeed() {
        return speed;    }

    public void setSpeed(Integer speed) {
        this.speed = speed;    }

    public Float getPrice() {
        return price;    }

    public void setPrice(Float price) {
        this.price = price;    }
}

That way now you have a car model that can be use for your application. Car is real world object, fortunately it is not used by the database system for example MySQL as their reserved keyword, or any of the fields is a reserved MySQL keywords, so that will be valid model. But what happen if we create an entity that will collide with MySQL keyword, we can avoid that by defining for example our database name, or column name so that it will be valid and not collide with any database reserved keywords. Or maybe you just want your tables or fields name much more cool, or the technical reason is sometimes you have to change the class name but not the database schema.

@Entity@Table(name = "cars")
public class Car{
    @Id    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    @Column(name = "car_id")
    private Long id;
    @Column(name = "car_brand")
    private String brand;        @Column(name = "car_speed")
    private Integer speed;        @Column(name = "car_price")
    private Float price;
    public Long getId() {
        return id;    }

    public void setId(Long id) {
        this.id = id;    }

    public String getBrand() {
        return brand;    }

    public void setBrand(String brand) {
        this.brand = brand;    }

    public Integer getSpeed() {
        return speed;    }

    public void setSpeed(Integer speed) {
        this.speed = speed;    }

    public Float getPrice() {
        return price;    }

    public void setPrice(Float price) {
        this.price = price;    }
}

With that entity, if you look at the database schema our table would have name cars, and fields car_id, car_brand, car_speed and car_price.

Spring Kafka - how to use ReplyingKafkaTemplate send and reply synchronously

By -

Microservice Spring with Apache Kafka Kafka is an asynchronous messaging queuing system, but when you have a case in your project that you need to have the result immediately from another service you can do that quite easily. Kafka from the client side produces a message to the server side, then waiting for the server to return back the message exactly what the client wants. It’s identified in the kafka header request named KafkaHeaders.CORRELATION_ID and a topic where the server should send. If the server side produces the same correlation id to the same topic in the request, then the client side will catch that message as its reply. Although you can work with kafka from a different framework and language other than Java and Spring. Here’s in this example i just specifically giving the example of sending and replying kafka messages using Spring Boot. The Project Overview The client-project will send a string message to the server-project over kafka, then the server-project wil

MySQL and MariaDB password As already mentioned in the title of this blog, this error message sometimes occurred when we are trying to update our root password database, either MySQL or MariaDB, The error says: ERROR 1348 (HY000): Column 'Password' is not updatable This is because if we use this SQL command to update our database root password, and it turn out to be Restricted by MySQL to use update on mysql database. UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('1234') WHERE User='root'; The solutions for MySQL Error1348 So you can not update a user password using Update commands, to update the password, use ALTER commands instead. like the following. ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '1234'; And then you need to do the flush privileges to commit previous queries (that alter command above) into the system, simply do like this. flush privileges; So now you have your root with password 1234. Although it is recommended to

Usually you will need a pair of SSH username and password to connect to a remote server. But there's also another way to connect to the server via SSH but without password, just using a dot pem (example.pem) file. Here's how we usually do on Windows 1. Let’s SSH login using pem to confirm if it’s throwing error or the pem is fine, if error then we need to move to step 2 to fix it: ssh adam@10.0.0.123  -i server-cert.pem And here's the usual error that will throw if your pem file is not ready for SSH login. You need to follow the next step to make your pem certificate ready to login to your server via SSH. 2. Open Windows Explorer, then right-click on the pem file, then select "Properties". Navigate to the "Security" tab, and click "Advanced" 3. Disable inheritance 4. Delete all permissions, so it doesn’t have any permission 5. Now add you as the only only owner. By click button Add and then Select a principal, then Advanced. 6. On the showing p

Reactive Spring Logo This is maybe a very simple task, but for those of you that may not be familiar with WebFlux found it difficult to create a Rest API that handles upload and download in Reactive spring application. Create the skeleton Spring project Create a new project, go to start.spring.io , on the dependencies section, add Spring Reactive Web. Generate and extract it into your desired project location. Instead of using spring-boot-starter-web, use spring-boot-starter-webflux instead in your pom.xml. Here’s the pom.xml for our Reactive Rest API project. Create our Rest controller Now that you have set to use WebFlux instead of the usual web, we have to change a little bit in the Controller class that handles the API endpoints. It doesn’t change much but you have to wrap the Response in Mono and the request parameter to FilePart. So our upload and download file controller will look like this. Create utility to handle file upload We need to structure our project better, so we cr
