So i have a Promotion Domain with classes like Entity, Service, Controller and so on.
But i have an interface property in Entity class, and based on parameters passed at POST time, that instance is gonna be a subclass saved in the DB.
BUT i encountered a weird behaviour of Hibernate in regards of this. If i put that property to be
promotionSeason = "easterPromotion" - first, in console, appers to be created as a ChristmasPromotionSeason and then updated as an EasterPromotionSeason, i don't know why,
if i make another example, let's say: promotionSeason = "noPromotion", same problem...
I get the wrong result on Query to see what Promotion we have based on PromotionSeason, if i have EasterPromotion saved in the DB, is gonna returl ChristmasPromotion in Query result, why is this problem occur? You can see that on Hibernate console log from below...

//Strategy Pattern, maybe State pattern was more suitable?

CodePudding user response：
What the methods in your class PromotionConverter do is inconsistent:
convertToDatabaseColumn will convert to the name of the promotion season class in lowercase, so it will return: promotioneasterseason or promotionchristmasseason or nopromotionforyouthistimemuhaha. This is the string that will be stored in the database.
But the method convertToEntityAttribute, which is supposed to do the opposite, does something else: if the string from the database is easterPromotion then it will return an object of type PromotionEasterSeason and otherwise an object of type PromotionChristmasSeason.
So, what happens when you save an easter promotion in the database: Hibernate will store the string promotioneasterseason. And when you read that record back from the datase, the converter notices that that does not match easterPromotion so it will return a PromotionChristmasSeason.
Solution: Make sure the methods convertToDatabaseColumn and convertToEntityAttribute do the opposite of eachother.
