java spring spring-data-jpa geometry postgis

How do i insert a Point / MultiPolygon in postgres ( using postgis ) with Spring data JPA?

I created a map using leaflet and i'm trying to send point / multipolygon drawns to my postgres database using spring data JPA. The server initially receives a string geoJSON ( converted to org.locationtech.jts.geom.MultiPolygon and org.locationtech.jts.geom.Point by the follow deserialize methods ). Obs: I took care that the geojson string is always valid

import com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParser;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.DeserializationContext;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonDeserializer;
import org.locationtech.jts.geom.MultiPolygon;
import java.io.IOException;
import org.locationtech.jts.io.ParseException;
import org.locationtech.jts.io.geojson.GeoJsonReader;

public class MultiPolygonDeserializer extends JsonDeserializer<MultiPolygon> {

    @Override
    public MultiPolygon deserialize(JsonParser parser, DeserializationContext context) throws IOException {
        String geoJson = parser.getValueAsString();
        GeoJsonReader reader = new GeoJsonReader();
        try {
            return (MultiPolygon) reader.read(geoJson);
        } catch (ParseException e) {
            throw new IOException(e);
        }
    }
}

import com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParser;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.DeserializationContext;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonDeserializer;
import org.locationtech.jts.geom.Point;
import java.io.IOException;
import org.locationtech.jts.io.ParseException;
import org.locationtech.jts.io.geojson.GeoJsonReader;

public class PointDeserializer extends JsonDeserializer<Point> {

    @Override
    public Point deserialize(JsonParser parser, DeserializationContext context) throws IOException {
        String geoJson = parser.getValueAsString();
        GeoJsonReader reader = new GeoJsonReader();
        try {
            return (Point) reader.read(geoJson);
        } catch (ParseException e) {
            throw new IOException(e);
        }
    }
}

They apparently work fine, returning, for example: MULTIPOLYGON (((-42.538033 -19.461896, -42.542667 -19.489894, -42.487564 -19.478404, -42.538033 -19.461896))) and POINT (-42.5270802 -19.4777807)

And this is my model:

import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.annotation.JsonDeserialize;
import com.pedro.geoPartners.util.MultiPolygonDeserializer;
import com.pedro.geoPartners.util.PointDeserializer;
import jakarta.persistence.Column;
import jakarta.persistence.Entity;
import jakarta.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import jakarta.persistence.GenerationType;
import jakarta.persistence.Id;
import java.util.UUID;
import org.locationtech.jts.geom.MultiPolygon;
import org.locationtech.jts.geom.Point;


/**

@Entity
public class Partner {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.UUID)
    private UUID id;

    private String tradingName;
    private String ownerName;
    private String document;

    @Column(columnDefinition = "geometry(Point,4326)")
    @JsonDeserialize(using = PointDeserializer.class)
    private Point address;

    @Column(columnDefinition = "geometry(MultiPolygon,4326)")
    @JsonDeserialize(using = MultiPolygonDeserializer.class)
    private MultiPolygon coverageArea;

    public UUID getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(UUID id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getTradingName() {
        return tradingName;
    }

    public void setTradingName(String tradingName) {
        this.tradingName = tradingName;
    }

    public String getOwnerName() {
        return ownerName;
    }

    public void setOwnerName(String ownerName) {
        this.ownerName = ownerName;
    }

    public String getDocument() {
        return document;
    }

    public void setDocument(String document) {
        this.document = document;
    }

    public Point getAddress() {
        return address;
    }

    public void setAddress(Point address) {
        this.address = address;
    }

    public MultiPolygon getCoverageArea() {
        return coverageArea;
    }

    public void setCoverageArea(MultiPolygon coverageArea) {
        this.coverageArea = coverageArea;
    }

However, when i try to save a Partner in db, i receive:

2023-03-04T17:51:39.152-03:00  WARN 116266 --- [nio-8080-exec-1] o.h.engine.jdbc.spi.SqlExceptionHelper   : SQL Error: 0, SQLState: XX000

I tried numerous implementantios of "JPA Attribute Converters" and always same error. Moreover, i read somewhere ( not sure ) that MultiPolygon and Point locationtech can be directly inserted in @Column(columnDefinition = "geometry(MultiPolygon,4326)") and @Column(columnDefinition = "geometry(Point,4326)").

*Also read about hibernate @Type... but apparently doens't works ( deprecated?) in hibernate spatial version 5.4.32

*Only for have sure, i tried to set coverageArea and address null before try to save in db, and it saves correctly.

Its my first question here, sorry if i made a mistake or forget something. Thank You

Tried to save a "Partner" ( model ) in a postgres db with JpaRepository "save". Expected to save all attributes but always receive same error (org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: Invalid endian flag value encountered.) when i try to save a MultiPolygon or/and Point.

Solution

This solution is based on Arjen's solution with some changes for it to work with Spring boot 3.

file GeometryType :

            return null;
        }
        try {
            String string = rs.getString(position);
            if (string == null) {
                return null;

    }

        try (InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(write)) {
            ps.setBinaryStream(i, is);
        } catch (IOException | NullPointerException e) {
            throw new SQLException(e);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public Geometry deepCopy(Geometry geometry) throws HibernateException {
        if (Objects.isNull(geometry)) {
            return null;
        }
        return geometry.copy();
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isMutable() {
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public Serializable disassemble(Geometry o) throws HibernateException {
        return o;
    }

    @Override
    public Geometry assemble(Serializable serializable, Object o) throws HibernateException {
        return deepCopy((Geometry) serializable);
    }

    @Override
    public Geometry replace(Geometry original, Geometry o1, Object o2) throws HibernateException {
        return deepCopy(original);
    }

}

now inside the entity use: @Type(GeometryType.class) for the geometry field.

I'm not sure if the implementation of all the functions is correct (meaning I / you might encounter an error along the line) but I managed to save an entity that has a locationtech.jts.jeom.Geometry field to postgres and managed to pull the entity back from the database.
