When i changed return value from User to Optional my UserResponseDTO returns null, it works properly when i change Optional to User, how to fix it?Database saves all the values i enter in postman
USER dao save method
public Optional<User> saveUser(User user) {
jdbcTemplate.update("INSERT INTO usr(username,password,email,country,gender) VALUES( ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)", user.getUsername(), user.getPassword()
,user.getEmail(),user.getCountry(),user.getGender().getId());
return Optional.ofNullable(user);
}
USER service save method
public Optional<User> save(User user) {
if(validate(user.getEmail())){
user.setPassword(passwordEncoder.encode(user.getPassword()));
user.setRole(Role.USER);
user.setStatus(Status.ACTIVE);
Optional<User> userSaved = userDao.saveUser(user);
return userSaved;
}
log.warn("U entered the wrong email");
return Optional.ofNullable(user);
}
User controller save method
@ApiOperation(value = "getting the user data from request body and saving it to database")
@PostMapping(value = "")
public ResponseEntity<UserResponse> saveUser(@RequestBody UserRequest userRequest) {
User userUntilSave = modelMapper.map(userRequest, User.class);
Optional<User> user = userService.save(userUntilSave);
UserResponse userResponse = modelMapper.map(user, UserResponse.class);
return new ResponseEntity<>(userResponse, HttpStatus.CREATED);
}
