I wanted to implement form validation using
<!-- Form Validation using Annotations -->
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.validation</groupId>
<artifactId>validation-api</artifactId>
<version>1.1.0.Final</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
<version>4.1.0.Final</version>
</dependency>
I have Implemented that on my JPA entities as
@Entity
@Table( name = TableName.JOB_TABLE)
public class Job {
@Id
@GeneratedValue
private Integer id;
@Size(min = 5,max = 50, message = "Valid title is 5-50 chars")
private String title;
@Lob
@Column(length=1000000)
private String description;
@NotNull(message = "Location must be specified")
private String location;
@NotNull(message = "Company name must be specified")
private String company;
@URL(message = "Valid Url must be specified")
private String url;
@NotEmpty @Email(message = "Valid Email must be specified")
private String email;
@DateTimeFormat(iso= DateTimeFormat.ISO.DATE)
@Column(name = "created_at")
private Date createdAt;
@ManyToMany(cascade = {CascadeType.MERGE})
@JoinTable(name = "jobs_categories",
joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "jobs_id"),
inverseJoinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "categories_id"))
private List<Category> categories;
// getters and setters
}
and
@Entity
@Table( name = TableName.CATEGORY_TABLE)
public class Category {
@Id
@GeneratedValue
private Integer id;
@Size(min = 5,max = 15, message = "Valid name is 5-15 chars")
private String name;
@ManyToMany(mappedBy = "categories", cascade = {CascadeType.MERGE})
private List<Job> jobs;
// getters and setters
}
with above stuff when I run may App I get the stacktrace
