Quarkus Panache Mongo entity with Javax Units

Question

I'm writing an application that needs to keep track of various amounts of stuff with differing units of measurement.

I would like to store this measurement data with the help of javax.measure, and a reference implementation from tec.units

The problem here is that Panache/ Mongo does not seem to know how to process the datatypes. For instance:

...
import javax.measure.Unit;
...


@EqualsAndHashCode(callSuper = true)
@Data
@MongoEntity(collection = "inventoryItem")
public class InventoryItem extends PanacheMongoEntity {
    ...
    private Unit capMeasurement;

}

Will yield the following of I attempt to persist the class:

Cannot use 'TransformedUnit' with the PojoCodec.: java.lang.ClassCastException: class sun.reflect.generics.reflectiveObjects.ParameterizedTypeImpl cannot be cast to class java.lang.Class (sun.reflect.generics.reflectiveObjects.ParameterizedTypeImpl and java.lang.Class are in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap')

I also have trouble with the objects in the (lombok generated) equals() / toString() for the following error:

I am wondering if the core issue is the same here.

One way I was thinking about getting around this was by simply mapping a string value to the constants in the library and storing that string value, but was unsure if anyone knew of a perhaps more compatible library/implementation.

For reference, using the following dependencies:

    compile 'javax.measure:unit-api:2.1.2'
    compile 'tec.units:unit-ri:1.0.3'

Answer 1

I don't know anything about javax.measure but MongoDB with Panache uses the POJO Codec of MongoDB to transform your object to a BSON document.

If this codec is not able to transform your object to a BSON document, you need to create a dedicated codec for the type that causes the issue. This codec will be automatically picked up by Quarkus and registered to the MongoDB client.

You can read the following section about MongoDB codec usage in Quarkus: https://quarkus.io/guides/mongodb#simplifying-mongodb-client-usage-using-bson-codec
