I have Spring data repository class that extends MongoRepository. So I'm doing a POST request to create a record that holds several reference fields to refer other documents.
The repository interface :
@RepositoryRestResource(collectionResourceRel = "user",path = "user")
public interface UserRepository extends MongoRepository<User,String>{
}
The Model classes :
@Document(collection = "user")
public class User {
@Id
private String id;
private String email;
@DateTimeFormat(iso = DateTimeFormat.ISO.DATE_TIME)
private Date createdTime;
@Field("infoSignups")
@DBRef
private InfoSignUp infoSignups;
@Field("webinarSignups")
@DBRef
private WebinarSignUp webinarSignups;
}
@Document(collection = "infoSignups")
public class InfoSignUp {
@Id
private String id;
private String email;
}
@Document(collection = "webinarSignups")
public class WebinarSignups {
@Id
private String id;
private String email;
}
The POST request :
{
"email":"sheen.example@gmail.com",
"name":"test",
"infoSignups":[
{
"id":"5cbeb33199a4640b94ba1de8"
}
],
"webinarSignups":[
{
"id":"5cc0136599a4641d835d3259"
}
],
"businessName":"test data",
"phone":"test data",
"address":"test data",
"createdTime":"2015-09-26T01:30:00.000Z"
}
But when I'm doing the POST request to the repository endpoint the reference fields are not saved, other fields are saved in the collection. Do I have to persist the object manually without using the Spring data? How can I save the references to the other collection using the POST request to the endpoint?
