I am using a newer version of Spring-boot in my project, so instead of using the findById(Long id), I am using getOne(Long id) (the Optional findById wasn't working for me). My "save new form" method works fine, and the SQL database creates an id for the submitted form (aka broker). But when editing the form I can not access the existing id and am getting a null error. Could someone please point me in the right direction here. Is it because I am using getOne method that this is coming back null, or is there something else going on causing this issue?

Here is the trace stack to show the 500 Error for having a null ID.

Here are my controller functions:

 @RequestMapping(value="/newBroker")
 public String newBroker(Model model)
 model.addAttribute("broker",new Broker());
 return "brokerProfile";
 

 @RequestMapping(value="/addBroker")
 public String addBroker(Model model, @ModelAttribute(value="broker") Broker broker)
 
 Long id=null;
 try
 Broker newBroker = brokerRepository.save(broker);
 id = newBroker.getId();
 if (broker.getStatus().equals("active"))
 broker.setOnboardedDate(LocalDate.now());
 brokerRepository.save(newBroker);
 catch (DataAccessException e)
 e.printStackTrace();
 

 return "redirect:/edit/"+id;
 

 @RequestMapping(value="/edit/id")
 public String editbroker(Model model, @PathVariable("id") Long id, Broker broker)
 Broker existing= brokerRepository.getOne(id);
 model.addAttribute("broker",existing);
 return "brokerProfile";
 


 @RequestMapping(value="/saveBroker")
 @ResponseBody
 public JSONObject saveBroker(Model model, @ModelAttribute(value="broker") Broker broker)
 
 Boolean saved=false;
 JSONObject response=new JSONObject();
 Broker brokerBeforeUpdate = brokerRepository.getOne(broker.getId());

 if (brokerBeforeUpdate!=null && !brokerBeforeUpdate.getStatus().equals("active") && broker.getStatus().equals("active"))
 broker.setOnboardedDate(LocalDate.now());
 else if (!broker.getStatus().equals("active"))
 broker.setOnboardedDate(null);
 try
 brokerBeforeUpdate=brokerRepository.save(broker);
 saved=true;
 response.put("brokerId",broker.getId());

 catch (DataAccessException e) 
 e.printStackTrace();
 response.put("error",e.getLocalizedMessage());
 response.put("cause",e.getLocalizedMessage());
 
 response.put("success",saved);
 return response;
 
}

My Repository pretaining to getOne()/findById

public interface BrokerRepository extends CrudRepository<Broker,Long>, JpaSpecificationExecutor 

 Broker save(Broker entity);

// <Optional>Broker findById(Long id);

 Broker getOne(Long id);


 void delete(Broker entity);

 List<Broker> findAll();

Broker. java piece pertaining to ID

@Entity
@Table(name="Broker")
public class Broker 
 @Id
 @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
 @Column(name = "brokerId")
 private Long id;

 public Long getId() 
 return id;
 

 public void setId(Long id) 
 this.id = id;
 

I think you need to specify the method used in the @RequestMethod because it has no default value

@RequestMapping(path="/",method=RequestMethod.GET or POST)

but you use this instead of @RequestMethod

@PostMethod(path='/')
@GetMethod(path='/')
