I am new to SpringBoot and Postman and just started learning Java I was following a tutorial, but I keep getting the following error when I try to POST using POSTMAN after running my files on SpringBoot:
I have double checked the database and that is running fine, I am also not getting any errors on SpringBoot.
LOG from SpringBoot:

Headers for request and return POSTMAN:
CodePudding user response：
You say you're not getting and errors in your Spring Boot log, but you've posted a stack trace, which is the best type of error you could hope for. In fact, it tells you exactly what the problem is:
org.hibernate.PropertyValueException: not-null property references a null or transient value : com.advanced.app1.model.Employee.firstName
Your entity does not have "firstName" marked as nullable
@Column(name = "first_name", nullable = false)
Somehow, your Employee entity is not being populated with the data from your POST request. This can happen if the deserialization can't "automatically" map from your JSON fields to your Employee object fields.
One possible reason is that you do not have any getters or setters defined on your Entity. I see you're using lombok for this, but I would suggest at least for now ruling out any issue with this not working with Spring's framework and manually generating these methods directly.
You're also writing directly from the REST API into a database Entity. While this isn't strictly a problem, it's not a best practice and can sometimes lead to weird behaviour. I'd recommend creating a model object (POJO) specifically intended for use in your REST interface, and then map to an entity in your Repository.
CodePudding user response：
Check the spring boot code. There can be spelling mistakes in url, parameters.
