Hibernate problem

[Sanket L Shah]

Hi all,

I am working on Struts 2 and Hibernate.

I am having one User table and corresponding User.java bean.

    
  public class User
{
   private String userName;   // not null in Database
   private String password;   // not null in Database
   private  String firstName; // not null in Database
   private String city;
}
  

My problem is, When user edit his/her profile, except password he/she will edit all the fields.

I meant, the user profile form contain userName, firstName, city... etc... but not the password.

but now when I am going to save the user object it shows me error like... password can't be null....
because I have given it password is not null.

    
       session.save(user);    // user contains all the values except password... password is null right now
  

please help me...

When you retrieve the User data you should still load the password field. Just don't display it. This actually isn't a Hibernate or a Struts problem but an implementation problem. To Hibernate if the User object has a null password property, then it will think it is changed and try to update it to null.

you can get user object with password or have one more user object which does not include password field and use it to do save.
