Neo4j OGM NullPointerException when using @Id @GeneratedValue in abstract superclass

1.5k views Asked by At

I'm trying to save a domain object that inherits its id annotated with @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy = UuidStrategy.class) from a superclass, but get a NullPointerException when I attempt to do the save, even though the Neo4j OGM manual states that this is to be possible (and recommended). (Note that if I move the id to the non-abstract sub-class, the node is happily saved).

The code uses Spring Boot 2.0.0.M7

Edit #2: If I now make the abstract classes concrete (by removing the abstract Keyword), the node is now populated to the database. However, without the abstract keyword, the label of the super-classes are also applied to the node (ie the node has the labels Fan, BaseNodeEntity, and BaseEntity). This could be a (temporary?) workaround to the issue, although I don't know the impact of having these extra labels applied to all the nodes. (Does anyone know?) Or can anyone offer a better solution?

Edit #1 I've moved the abstract classes into the same package as the other nodes so they are correctly scanned, as per the set up of the SessionFactory (for the package "com.ideafan.server.neo4j.node") however I now get an UnsatisfiedDependencyError as follows:

The error apparently happens when an Entity is used without an id as per this issue on the ogm issue-tracker.

If I instead of putting the @Id @GeneratedValue id field in the abstract superclass, but instead put it in the concrete sub-class, then the node gets written to the database without a problem.

Modified domain class:

Fan.java package com.ideafan.server.neo4j.node;

import org.neo4j.ogm.annotation.GeneratedValue;
import org.neo4j.ogm.annotation.Id;
import org.neo4j.ogm.annotation.NodeEntity;
import org.neo4j.ogm.id.UuidStrategy;

@NodeEntity
public class Fan /*extends BaseNodeEntity*/ {

    @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy = UuidStrategy.class)
    private String id;

    String firstName;

    public Fan() {}

    public Fan(String firstName) {
        super();
        this.firstName = firstName;
    }

    public String getFirstName() {
        return firstName;
    }

    public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
        this.firstName = firstName;
    }

}

Log (without errors):

2018-02-04 16:10:25.373  INFO 11892 --- [           main] c.i.server.IdeaFanServerApplication      : Started IdeaFanServerApplication in 4.952 seconds (JVM running for 5.751)

Can anyone see what the issue might be?

All node classes should be in same package in order to get scanned, try moving all classes to same package as class Fan. In short, in this package:

new SessionFactory(configuration(), "com.ideafan.server.neo4j.node");

Update: While putting @Id field in base abstract class, make sure you also annotate base abstract class with @NodeEntity as per this discussion.
