I am working a very small application which contains 3 entity classes.
1.Category. 2.Products. 3.User
Relationships:-
a. OneToMany between User and Products.
b. OneToMany and ManyToOne between category and products i.e. a category can have multiple products and multiple products can belong to same category.
Entity Classes are shown below:-
User Entity:-
@Entity
public class User {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private int id;
private String username;
private String lastname;
private String email;
private String password;
@OneToMany(cascade = {CascadeType.PERSIST, CascadeType.MERGE},
fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
private Set<Products> products;
//getter and setter
}
Products Entity:-
@Entity
public class Products {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private int id;
private String productname;
private String cost;
@ManyToOne(cascade = {CascadeType.MERGE,CascadeType.PERSIST},
fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
private Category category;
//getter and setters
}
Category Entity:-
@Entity
public class Category {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private int id;
private String name;
@OneToMany(mappedBy = "category",
cascade = {CascadeType.PERSIST, CascadeType.MERGE},
fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
private List<Products> products;
//getter and setters
}
Method to merge User with products in data base:-
@GetMapping("/cart")
public String Cart(Model model){
model.addAttribute("cart",productsSet);
System.out.println(productsSet);//At this stage in console I am able to see products added in set
User user = userRepository.findById(1);//hard coded for now.
user.setProducts(productsSet);
userService.saveUserProducts(user);//saveUserProducts() method in shown below.
productsSet.clear();
return "mycart";
}
saveUserProducts() :-
@Override
@Transactional
public void saveUserProducts(User user) {
entityManager.merge(user);
}
But when I am running the program I see the following exception in console:-
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Multiple representations of the same entity [com.demo.shopping.com.Entity.Products#2] are being merged. Detached: [Products{id=2, productname='p2', cost='200'}]; Detached: [Products{id=2, productname='p2', cost='200'}]
I found an article on stack-overflow but it was not fit in my situation.(java.lang.IllegalStateException: Multiple representations of the same entity with @ManyToMany 3 entities).Except this I don't get any relevant thing.
Please help me to let me know how to deal with this situation. Hope someone will help. Thanks in advance.
