I have an AWS DynamoDB Table called Group Table. It contains two fields ID and Members. The members field is a String Set. I would like to search the Group Table and return all Groups where the list of members contains a specified string.
When I attempt this using Spring Data's CRUD Repository FindByMembersContains, it returns a ClassCastException stating java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.util.Collection.
I have also attempted with a String List instead of String Set and get the same results.
I am using AWS Java SDK DynamoDB version 1.12.192 and Spring Data DynamoDB version 5.1.0. I have no issues writing these entries or reading by ID using the repository.
Group.java
@DynamoDBTable(tableName = "GroupTable")
public class Group {
String id;
Set<String> members;
@DynamoDBHashKey
@DynamoDBAutoGeneratedKey
public String getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(String id) {
this.id = id;
}
@DynamoDBAttribute
public Set<String> getMembers() {
return members;
}
public void setMembers(Set<String> members) {
this.members = members;
}
}
GroupRepository.java
@EnableScan
public interface GroupRepository extends CrudRepository<Group, String> {
List<Group> findByMembersContaining(String member);
}
GroupController.java
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/group")
public class GroupController {
private final GroupRepository groupRepository;
public GroupController(GroupRepository groupRepository) {
this.groupRepository = groupRepository;
}
@GetMapping("/test")
public List<Group> getTestGroups() {
String testMemberId = "SomeMemberId";
return groupRepository.findByMembersContaining(testMemberId);
}
}
DynamoDBConfig.java
@Configuration
@EnableDynamoDBRepositories(basePackages = "com.example.dynamodbtest.repository")
public class DynamoDBConfig {
@Value("${amazon.dynamodb.endpoint}")
private String amazonDynamoDBEndpoint;
@Value("${amazon.aws.accesskey}")
private String amazonAWSAccessKey;
@Value("${amazon.aws.secretkey}")
private String amazonAWSSecretKey;

}
return amazonDynamoDB;
}
@Bean
public AWSCredentials amazonAWSCredentials() {

AWS DynamoDB Object Group Object Showing String Set
Swapping to Enhanced Client, I was able to perform a 'Scan' with a 'Filter Expression' to return the results I want.
private DynamoDbClient getClient() {
Region region = Region.US_EAST_2;
return DynamoDbClient.builder()
.region(region)
.build();
}
private DynamoDbEnhancedClient getEnhancedClient() {
return DynamoDbEnhancedClient.builder()
.dynamoDbClient(getClient())
.build();
}
public List<Group> scanGroupsByMember(String memberId) {
DynamoDbTable<Group> groupTable = getEnhancedClient().table("GroupTable", TableSchema.fromClass(Group.class));
AttributeValue attributeValue = AttributeValue.builder()
.s(memberId)
.build();
Map<String, AttributeValue> expressionValues = new HashMap<>();
expressionValues.put(":value", attributeValue);
Expression expression = Expression.builder()
.expression("contains(members, :value)")
.expressionValues(expressionValues)
.build();
ScanEnhancedRequest scanEnhancedRequest = ScanEnhancedRequest.builder()
.filterExpression(expression)
.build();
return groupTable.scan(scanEnhancedRequest).items().stream().collect(Collectors.toList());
}
