“在刷新之前保存瞬态实例”错误

Question

I have 2 objects, the Discipline and the Category object. These 2 are connected using a MANY-TO-ONE relationship. I am trying to create a new Discipline via Postman using this JSON object:

{
    "name": "test_sample"
}

The POJOs:

Discipline:

import org.hibernate.annotations.SQLDelete;
import org.hibernate.annotations.Where;

import javax.persistence.*;

@Entity(name = "discipline")
@Where(clause = "is_deleted=0")
@SQLDelete(sql = "UPDATE discipline SET is_deleted = 1 WHERE id = ?")
public class Discipline extends BaseEntity{
    @Column(name = "name")
    private String name;
    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name = "category_id")
    private Category category;


    public String getName() {
      return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
      this.name = name;
    }

    public Category getCategory() {
        return category;
    }

    public void setCategory(Category category) {
        this.category = category;
    }

}

Category:

import org.hibernate.annotations.SQLDelete;
import org.hibernate.annotations.Where;

import javax.persistence.*;

@Entity(name = "category")
@Where(clause = "is_deleted=0")
@SQLDelete(sql = "UPDATE category SET is_deleted = 1 WHERE id = ?")
public class Category extends BaseEntity{
    @Column(name = "name")
    private String name;

    public String getName() {
      return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
      this.name = name;
    }

}

I am receiving this error:

{
    "timestamp": "2019-06-06T21:22:42.746+0000",
    "status": 500,
    "error": "Internal Server Error",
    "message": "org.hibernate.TransientPropertyValueException: object references an unsaved transient instance - save the transient instance before flushing : com.test.meeting.meeting.data.model.Discipline.category -> com.test.meeting.meeting.data.model.Category; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: org.hibernate.TransientPropertyValueException: object references an unsaved transient instance - save the transient instance before flushing : com.test.meeting.meeting.data.model.Discipline.category -> com.test.meeting.meeting.data.model.Category",
    "path": "/api/v1/discipline"
}

How can I save the Discpline object without setting the relation between these two first.

Answer 1

You should add in your @ManyToOne annotation: cascade=CascadeType.ALL . The reason why you have this error is that you want to save a child object which is not present in the database and hibernate doesn't allow something like this.
