Exception using Hibernate OGM and MongoDB at Entity declaration

Question

I´m not able to initialize my EntityManagerFactory using Hibernate OGM and mongoDB, I´m getting the following Exception:

    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
    at model.DBManager.initEntityManagerFactory(DBManager.kt:11)
    at controller.restapi.RestapiApplicationKt.main(RestapiApplication.kt:13)

    at org.hibernate.jpa.boot.internal.EntityManagerFactoryBuilderImpl.build(EntityManagerFactoryBuilderImpl.java:892)

This is the code involved with the Exception:

class HibernateOGMUtil {

    companion object {

        private lateinit var entityManagerFactory: EntityManagerFactory

        init {
            try{
                entityManagerFactory = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("myPersistenceConfig")

            }catch (e:Exception){
                println(System.err.println("Initial EntityManagerFactory creation failed." + e))
            }
        }
        fun getEntityManagerFactory(): EntityManagerFactory{
            return entityManagerFactory
        }
    }
}

On the other hand, I have tried to remove the attribute 'levels' from next Entity and then, there is no exception and persistence works. So I suppose that something wrong is happening with this attribute. Maybe I should add a special annotation but I´m really stuck on this.

Here is my code:

import applicationdatamodel.sleep.SleepLevels
import org.hibernate.annotations.Type
import java.util.*
import javax.persistence.*

@Entity
data class Sleep (
    @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP) val dateOfSleep: Date,
    val user_cif: String,
    val duration: Int,
    @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP) val startTime: Date,
    @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP) val endTime: Date,
    val minutesAsleep: Int,
    val minutesAwake: Int,
    val levels: SleepLevels
){
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    @Type(type = "objectid")
    private lateinit var id: String
}

I would apreciate any help.

Answer 1

The column causing the issue is: val levels: SleepLevels.

Hibernate doesn't know how to map this class on the database (I assume it's not an enum). This means that you need to map it as:

1. Embedded, using the @Embeddaded and @Embeddable annotations;
2. Association, using the @OneToOne or @ManyToOne annotations.

Not knowing the details of your model I cannot help you more than this but you should be able to find all the details you need in the official hibernate documentation.
