When i try to access http://localhost:8080/XX/articles/addArticle
and submit the form, there is always a "400 BAD REQUEST" error.
i've tried to look up for the reason, all i got is that object transfered from the form is not as same type as my model(, which is an Article object? here). However, i don't think i really get it..
All codes are here, the config is all good.
Here are 2 models:
Article.java
@Entity
@Table(name="article_inf")
public class Article {
private int articleId;
private String title;
private User author;
private String content;
public Article() {
}
public Article(String title, User author, String content) {
this.title = title;
this.author = author;
this.content = content;
}
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
public int getArticleId() {
return articleId;
}
public void setArticleId(int articleId) {
this.articleId = articleId;
}
public String getTitle() {
return title;
}
public void setTitle(String title) {
this.title = title;
}
@ManyToOne(targetEntity=User.class)
@JoinColumn(name="author", referencedColumnName="userId", nullable=false)
public User getAuthor() {
return author;
}
public void setAuthor(User author) {
this.author = author;
}
public String getContent() {
return content;
}
public void setContent(String content) {
this.content = content;
}
User.java
@Entity
@Table(name="agri_user_inf")
public class User {
private int userId;
private String userName;
private String password;
private String cellPhone;
private List<Article> articles;
public User() {
articles = new ArrayList<>();
}
public User(String userName, String password, String cellPhone) {
this.userName = userName;
this.password = password;
this.cellPhone = cellPhone;
}
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
public int getUserId() {
return userId;
}
public void setUserId(int userId) {
this.userId = userId;
}
public String getUserName() {
return userName;
}
public void setUserName(String userName) {
this.userName = userName;
}
public String getPassword() {
return password;
}
public void setPassword(String password) {
this.password = password;
}
public String getCellPhone() {
return cellPhone;
}
public void setCellPhone(String cellPhone) {
this.cellPhone = cellPhone;
}
@OneToMany(targetEntity=Article.class, mappedBy="author")
public List<Article> getArticles() {
return articles;
}
public void setArticles(List<Article> articles) {
this.articles = articles;
}
controller
ArticleController.java
@Controller
@RequestMapping("articles")
public class ArticleController {
private ArticleDao articleDao;
@Autowired
public ArticleController(ArticleDao articleDao) {
this.articleDao = articleDao;
}
@RequestMapping(value="addArticle", method=GET)
public String addArticle(ModelMap modelMap) {
List<User> authors = userDao.getAllUsers();
// add all authors
modelMap.addAttribute("authors", authors);
return "articles/addArticleForm";
}
@RequestMapping(value="addArticle", method=POST)
public String addArticle(Article article) {
articleDao.addArticle(article);
return "redirect:/articles";
}
// other code

change name of <select> tag from "author" to "author.userId" . That works.
