Cannot resolve column when using inverseJoinColumns

I am trying to do a many-to-many relationship between my tables using java, but I ran into a problem. The way I designed it so far is User <-> Roles <-> Privileges and all of the tables and columns are recognised except for the last "referencedColumnName = "privilege_id" in Role.java which is not recognised and my IDE does not give any suggestions for this field.
I am not sure if this is the main problem for my project but I do encounter a throwLazyInitializationException when a user tries to login.
User.java
package com.lukas.ramonas.cms.Model;
import javax.persistence.*;

Any suggestion is greatly appreciated and if you need any extra info I would be happy to provide.

So the fix to this was really simple.
In my privilege.java class I forgot to add the #Table annotation.
I could fix the problem by adding #Table(name = "privilege_table", schema = "public") to my class as such :
package com.lukas.ramonas.cms.Model;
import javax.persistence.*;
import java.util.Collection;
/*******************************************
* Defined privilege model
*******************************************/
#Entity
#Table(name = "privilege_table", schema = "public")
public class Privilege {
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
private int privilege_id;
private String name;
#ManyToMany(mappedBy = "privileges")
private Collection<Role> roles;
public String getName() {
return this.name;
}
}

Map external id to local id

In my app users can add movies to their watchlist. The movie data comes from an external API. Each movie has its own unique id. For example: Star Wars - A new hope has id 11. And Fight Club has id 550.
When a user adds a movie I pass the whole movie object from the front-end to the back-end:
Component:
createMovie(movie: Movie): void {
this._dataService.createMovie<Movie>({'name': 'Star Wars - A new hope', 'id': 11})
.subscribe((data) => this.movies.push(data),
error => () => {
'something went wrong';
},
() => {
// console.log(this.movies);
});
}
In this case I'm using example data.
Service:
public createMovie<T>(movie: Movie): Observable<T> {
return this.http.post<T>('/api/movies/', movie, {headers: this.getToken()});
}
The MovieController in the back-end:
#RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public Movie createMovie(#RequestBody Movie movie){
return movieService.createMovie(movie);
}
The MovieService:
#Override
public Movie createMovie(Movie movie) {
User current_user = userService.getUser();
current_user.addMovie(movie);
userRepository.save(current_user);
return movie;
}
And the User model:
public void addMovie(Movie movie) {
movies.add(movie);
movie.getUsers().add(this);
}
When the movie is saved in the database it's saved with a unique id, starting from 1. How would I map the id from the front-end to the id of the object in my database? I could create another column "external_id" and map it to that, but I think that's a lesser solution than to use the id from the external API.

return "id: " + id + "name: " + name;
}
}
I've set up a many to many relation between these models. With, if I am correct, the user as the owner of the relation.
In my MovieController.java I have:
#RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public Movie createMovie(#RequestBody Movie movie){
return movieService.createMovie(movie);
}
This calls the MovieService.java:
#Override
public Movie createMovie(Movie movie) {
return movieRepository.save(movie);
}
And this calls the MovieRepository.java:
#Repository
public interface MovieRepository extends CrudRepository<Movie, Serializable> {}
When I call the post methode from my front-end a movie record is saved in my movie table, but no record is created in the user_movie table. Doesn't Hibernate do this implicit since I set up a Many to Many relation between user and movie?

For the first view, your code is correct.
The problem can be in GenerationType.SEQUENCE (try to use GenerationType.AUTO for User's id), or you need to add #Transactional to your controller.

You save the movie and in order to also have the user saved the cascade has to be set in the movie. Otherwise you can keep the cascade in user and save him.
You need to put the cascade to the entity on which you call save to cascade it.
Movie{
#ManyToMany(mappedBy = "movies", cascade={CascadeType.ALL})
private Set<User> users;
public Set<User> getUsers() {
return users;
}
}
User {
#ManyToMany
#JoinTable(name = "user_movie",
joinColumns = #JoinColumn(name = "user_id", referencedColumnName = "id"),
inverseJoinColumns = #JoinColumn(name = "movie_id", referencedColumnName = "id")
)
private Set<Movie> movies;
}
Don't forget to add the user to movie and vice versa before saving.
As with all bi-directional relationships it is your object model's and application's responsibility to maintain the relationship in both direction. There is no magic in JPA, if you add or remove to one side of the collection, you must also add or remove from the other side, see object corruption. Technically the database will be updated correctly if you only add/remove from the owning side of the relationship, but then your object model will be out of synch, which can cause issues.

Hibernate Exception when using mappedby attribute

I am trying to map between tables in pojo class.But I am getting exception for one attribute.

I am mapping the correct member variable of Users class. But I am getting exception like this
org.hibernate.AnnotationException: mappedBy reference an unknown target entity property: com.project.pojo.Users.groupId in com.project.pojo.Groups.users
In users pojo I have attributes like role,usertype which are mapped without any exception.Whereas for group I am getting this exception.
Can someone please help me to resolve this exception.
Thank you :)

There is a problem in your member variables of classes users and groups
Change the variable name groupId to group of Users.pojo and change mappedby attribute to group in groups class set method.
This will resolve your problem.

In your Groups class, you first declared a variable named users as a set of Users, which is fine. So if you gonna annotate #OneToMany on your setters, the name must match the variable name.
Also, in your Users table, you created a Groups variable and you named it as groupId, but in your Users table you have a int type named groupId, this will confuse the heck out of hibernate and causing problems. You should rename it to:
private Groups group;
So it should be like:
#OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, mappedBy = "group")
public Set<Users> getUsers() {
return this.users;
}
#ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
#JoinColumn(name = "group", nullable = false)
public Groups getGroup() {
return this.group;
}
You didn't ask but you need to fix your RoleID table also. I don't think you really understand how hibernate ORM works yet, see this:
http://www.mkyong.com/hibernate/hibernate-one-to-many-relationship-example-annotation/

It must be because of difference between users and userse.

You defined getter for the Group object in Users bean as:
#ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
#JoinColumn(name = "GroupId", nullable = false)
public Groups getGroup() {
return this.groupId;
}
which is not the best accessor name for a bean.
Try renaming the Group object in Users from groupID to group and change the mapping annotation into something like:
#OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, mappedBy = "group")
public Set<Users> getUserse() {
return this.userse;
}

Creating a simple user/group model with permissions with Hibernate (annotations)

This is most likely a very basic question, but nevertheless:
Basically the User entity has an Id and a privilege enum.
The group has an id and a name.
I wonder how to model a relationship where an user can be in multiple groups, having different privilege levels in different groups. Every group can of course have multiple members.
What's the way I'm supposed to solve that idiomatically with Hibernate?
Adding some membership field to User? A membership field to Group? Both? Creating a new class for it? Which annotations are required to wire these things together?

I used next architecture
UserEntity class
#Entity
#Table(name = "user")
public class UserEntity implements Serializable {
private Long user_id;
private String username;
private String password;
public UserEntity() {
}
public UserEntity(String name, String passwd) {
username = name;
password = passwd;
}
#Column(name = "password", nullable = false)
public String getPassword() {
return password;
}
public void setPassword(String password) {
this.password = password;
}
#Id
#Column(name = "id")
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
public Long getUser_id() {
return user_id;
}
public void setUser_id(Long user_id) {
this.user_id = user_id;
}
#Column(name = "username", nullable = false)
public String getUsername() {
return username;
}
public void setUsername(String username) {
this.username = username;
}
}
AuthorityEntity class
#Entity
#Table(name = "authority_role")
public class AuthorityEntity implements Serializable {
private Integer id;
private String authority;
private List<UserEntity> people;
public AuthorityEntity() {
}
public AuthorityEntity(String authString) {
authority = authString;
}
#Column(name = "authority", nullable = false)
public String getAuthority() {
return authority;
}
public void setAuthority(String authority) {
this.authority = authority;
}
#Id
#Column(name = "id")
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
public Integer getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(Integer id) {
this.id = id;
}
#ManyToMany(targetEntity = UserEntity.class,
cascade = {CascadeType.PERSIST, CascadeType.MERGE})
#JoinTable(name = "authority_role_people",
joinColumns =
#JoinColumn(name = "authority_role_id"),
inverseJoinColumns =
#JoinColumn(name = "user_id"))
public List<UserEntity> getPeople() {
return people;
}
public void setPeople(List<UserEntity> people) {
this.people = people;
}
}
In fact - this is how implemented spring security plugin.
In your case you can implement that architecture, which will be more useful for you.
