In this topic, we will learn about how to implement one-to-one unidirectional mapping with a shared primary key using Spring Boot, Hibernate, Spring Data JPA, H2 Database, and Lombok.
In one-to-one unidirectional mapping shared primary key, two tables share the same primary key.
The one-to-one unidirectional mapping means one-side navigation(employee table to address table). We will create a restful web service example for implementing this one-to-one unidirectional mapping with the shared primary key in spring boot.

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:mem:test
spring.datasource.username=sa
spring.datasource.password=
spring.jpa.show-sql=true
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.H2Dialect
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update
spring.h2.console.enabled=true4. Create Entity
Employee.java
package com.springjava.entity;
import javax.persistence.CascadeType;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.OneToOne;
import javax.persistence.PrimaryKeyJoinColumn;
import lombok.Data;
@Entity
@Data
public class Employee {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Integer id;
private String name;
private String emailId;
private String mobNo;
private String design;
@OneToOne(cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
@PrimaryKeyJoinColumn
private Address address;
}→ This @OneToOne annotation is used on the address property of the Employee entity class indicating that there is a one-to-one association from the Employee entity to the Address entity.
→ This CascadeType.ALL attribute is also used for Address entity cannot exist without Employee entity, with this cascade setting. Address entity will be updated/deleted on subsequent update/delete on Employee entity.
→ This @PrimaryKeyJoinColumn annotation indicates that the primary key of the Employee entity is used as a foreign key to the Address entity.
→ These two annotations indicate that the source and target entities share the same primary key values.
→ The Address entity class does not reference Employee, as it is a unidirectional relationship(from Employee to Address).
Address.java
package com.springjava.entity;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import lombok.Data;
@Entity
@Data
public class Address {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Integer id;
private String street;
private String city;
private String state;
}5. Create Repository
EmployeeRepository.java
package com.springjava.repository;
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository;
import com.springjava.entity.Employee;
public interface EmployeeRepository extends JpaRepository<Employee, Integer> {
}6. Create Service
EmployeeService.java
package com.springjava.service;
import java.util.List;
import com.springjava.entity.Employee;
public interface EmployeeService {
void save(Employee emp);
List<Employee> findAll();
}EmployeeServiceImpl.java
package com.springjava.service;
import java.util.List;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
import com.springjava.entity.Employee;
import com.springjava.repository.EmployeeRepository;
@Service
public class EmployeeServiceImpl implements EmployeeService {
@Autowired
EmployeeRepository employeeRepository;
@Override
public void save(Employee emp) {
employeeRepository.save(emp);
}
@Override
public List<Employee> findAll() {
return employeeRepository.findAll()
}
}7. Create Model
EmployeeModel.java
package com.springjava.model;
import lombok.Data;
@Data
public class EmployeeModel {
private Integer id;
private String name;
private String emailId;
private String mobNo;
private String design;
private String street;
private String city;
private String state;
}EmployeeController.java
package com.springjava.controller;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.LinkedHashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.http.HttpStatus;
import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PostMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestBody;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
import com.springjava.entity.Address;
import com.springjava.entity.Employee;
import com.springjava.model.EmployeeModel;
import com.springjava.service.EmployeeService;
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api")
public class EmployeeController {
@Autowired
EmployeeService employeeService;
@PostMapping("/save")
public ResponseEntity<?> saveEmp(@RequestBody EmployeeModel empModel) {
Map <String, Object> resModel = new LinkedHashMap < String, Object > ();
//creating address object and setting properties
Address address = new Address();
address.setStreet(empModel.getStreet());
address.setCity(empModel.getCity());
address.setState(empModel.getState());
Employee emp = new Employee();
emp.setName(empModel.getName());
emp.setEmailId(empModel.getEmailId());
emp.setMobNo(empModel.getMobNo());
emp.setDesign(empModel.getDesign());
emp.setAddress(address);
//saving employee into db
employeeService.save(emp);
resModel.put("status", 1);
resModel.put("message", "Record is Saved Successfully!");
return new ResponseEntity <> (resModel, HttpStatus.CREATED);
}
@GetMapping("/employees")
public ResponseEntity<?> getEmployees() {
Map<String, Object> resModel= new LinkedHashMap <String, Object>();
List < Employee > listOfEmps = employeeService.findAll();
List < EmployeeModel > empResList = new ArrayList < > ();
if (!listOfEmps.isEmpty()) {
for (Employee emp: listOfEmps){
EmployeeModel empModel = new EmployeeModel();
empModel.setId(emp.getId());
empModel.setName(emp.getName());
empModel.setEmailId(emp.getEmailId());
empModel.setMobNo(emp.getMobNo());
empModel.setDesign(emp.getDesign());
empModel.setStreet(emp.getAddress().getStreet());
empModel.setCity(emp.getAddress().getCity());
empModel.setState(emp.getAddress().getState());
empResList.add(empModel);
}
resModel.put("status", 1);
resModel.put("data", empResList);
return new ResponseEntity < > (resModel, HttpStatus.OK);
}else{
resModel.clear();
resModel.put("status", 0);
resModel.put("message", "Data is not found");
return new ResponseEntity<>(resModel, HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND);
}
}
}9. Run the app
To run this application one-to-one unidirectional mapping with a shared primary key Right-click on the DemoApplication.java then click on Run As after that select Java Application.
To test the API on the Postman
Url: http://localhost:8080/api/save
Url: http://localhost:8080/api/employees
To check the H2 database we can browse this URL “http://localhost:8080/h2-console” on the browser to view the tables in this database which are created by this application(one-to-one unidirectional mapping with shared primary key). Then we have to click on the Connect button to connect the database and view tables.
Employee Table:
Address Table:

In this topic, we learnt how to implement one-to-one unidirectional mapping with a shared primary key (@PrimaryKeyJoinColumn annotation)in spring boot, spring data JPA, Lombok and H2 database with rest API example.
