What is Entity Class?

I'm trying to use MongoTemplates find method. It wants "entity class" as the second parameter. I give the model class for this, but it does not accept it. It also doesn't show the @Entity annotation. The method is as follows:

mongoTemplate.find(queryBuy , Orders, "orders");

Orders is my model class and orders is collections name. Here are the annotations at the beginning of my model class

@Getter @Setter
@Document(collection = "orders")
@Data
@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class Orders {
....
}
Solution

  • MongoTemplate find() methods has as the second argument a [Class][1]. You can get a Class instance with Orders.class. Having said this, please try the following:

    mongoTemplate.find(queryBuy, Orders.class, "orders");
