How to save a JsonNode param (micronaut + kotlin) as a jsonb in postgres database


I'm trying to save an entity that has a JsonNode attribute and has to be converted to jsonb to be stores in a postgres database.

This is the database table:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS configuration_data (
   id SERIAL NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
   namespace_name TEXT NOT NULL,
   dimension_id TEXT NOT NULL,
   dimension_value TEXT,
   path TEXT,
   data JSONB,
   version BIGINT DEFAULT 0
);

This is the entity:

@MappedEntity(value = "configuration_data")
data class ConfigurationDataEntity(
    @field:Id @GeneratedValue
    val id: Long,
    @MappedProperty("namespace_name")
    val namespaceName: String,
    @MappedProperty("dimension_id")
    val dimensionId: String,
    @MappedProperty("dimension_value")
    val dimensionValue: String,
    @MappedProperty("path")
    val path: String,
    @MappedProperty("data")
    val data: JsonNode,
    @MappedProperty("version")
    val version: Long,
)

And I'm trying to save an entity like that into the repository:

val entity = ConfigurationDataEntity(1L, coordinates.namespace, "acc", "abc", "path", data, 1L)

repository.save(entity)

The error I'm getting is the following:

Caused by: io.micronaut.data.exceptions.DataAccessException: Error executing PERSIST: Unable to set PreparedStatement value: Can't infer the SQL type to use for an instance of com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.node.ObjectNode. Use setObject() with an explicit Types value to specify the type to use.

I imagine it is because postgres can not store a jsonNode in a jsonb object, but I don't know how to convert a JsonNode to jsonb.

Thank you very much in advance :)


Solution

  • Worked adding this annotation to the field:

    @field:TypeDef(type = DataType.JSON)
    

    So the entity remains like:

    @MappedEntity(value = "configuration_data")
    data class ConfigurationDataEntity(
        @field:Id @GeneratedValue
        val id: Long,
        @MappedProperty("namespace_name")
        val namespaceName: String,
        @MappedProperty("dimension_id")
        val dimensionId: String,
        @MappedProperty("dimension_value")
        val dimensionValue: String,
        @MappedProperty("path")
        val path: String,
        @MappedProperty("data")
        **@field:TypeDef(type = DataType.JSON)**
        val data: JsonNode,
        @MappedProperty("version")
        val version: Long,
    )
