Answer 1

Since Both classes have the same property names, this spring util would save you a ton of time;

BeanUtils.copyProperties(source, target);

So you'll have this instead:

@PutMapping(path = "{documentId}")
public ResponseEntity<Document> updateDocument(
        @PathVariable(value = "documentId") String documentId,
        @Validated @RequestBody Document documentDetails) throws ResourceNotFoundException {
    Document document = documentRepo.findById(documentId)
            .orElseThrow(() -> new ResourceNotFoundException("Document not found on :: " + documentId));

    BeanUtils.copyProperties(documentDetails, document);
    // You can also ignore a particular property or properties
    // BeanUtils.copyProperties(documentDetails, document, "id");   
    final Document updateDocument = documentRepo.save(document);
    return ResponseEntity.ok(updateDocument);
}
