generator-jhipster: Elasticsearch Errors with circular related objects

Example Project

https://github.com/hepaestus/test-app-one

Reproduce the error

See The Test Project: https://github.com/hepaestus/test-app-one#development Once you have the it set up.

  • Open http://localhost:9000/ and login as admin.
  • Select the Cars entity in the menu.
  • Click button to Edit a car.
  • Attempt to save passengers to a car.

This should trigger the error and show an error in the alert area: Handler dispatch failed; nested exception is java.lang.StackOverflowError See below for more of the error output.

Overview of the issue

When using elasticsearch and saving entities a error shows up. For example saving the Car entity with a driver and passengers will throw an error:

Hello, sorry for the late reply, these last weeks have been crazy.

Here is an example of what I’ve done to use Converters and configure spring data to use them.

https://github.com/bkenn/eleasticsexample

here is the commit with the work: https://github.com/bkenn/eleasticsexample/commit/6d3875d539e40ddaadbe970ead35650c1a5ca34e

for running locally:

  • use java 16
  • startup the Elasticsearch compose file
  • run: man spring-boot:run (the default goal)
  • When the app is up run: curl -XPOST http://localhost:8080/test/1

If you want to see it the StackOverflowError, remove the mappers from ElasticsearchConfiguration.

Do what you will with this example. I don’t this is the best workaround. I would rather find something better than workaround spring data.
